Hi all!
I'm having some issues with NeoGensPlusGX v1b08 and Sega CD games like Shining Force CD. The emulator fires up my game (in BIN+CUE format) with the Genesis Plus GX, and I can see via FTP on the E: drive that a .brm file and a .srm file are both being created, but the game doesn't actually save.
At the Sega CD BIOS screen I press the A button to get to the CD player interface and pick Options. Here, I initialize both the console memory and the RAM cart. After that, I play the game for a bit and save/exit. I know it should be saved because in Shining Force CD if you say you don't want to continue you get a "goodbye" screen. So as far as I can tell, I'm doing what I should. The CDDA plays music during the game, so the CD part is working like it should. No problem with the image.
But then if I quit the emulator and launch it again and start the game back up, there's nothing to continue. And if I go back into the BIOS menu and look at the memory, both the console and RAM cart are uninitialized again. So it's like the system isn't saving.
I have tried using the NeoGenesis core and it doesn't even load the game. It doesn't load any of my games. They're the Darkwater BIN+CUE releases.
It's a soft-modded Xbox 1.0 running XBMC. I've upgraded the hard drive to a 320GB IDE model and everything works but this. Regular Xbox games save, SNES games save, etc. Willing to try anything that even remotely sounds reasonable.
Cart games are working, too. I have a Sonic 3 and Knuckles going and it's loading.
Thanks!
