I setup the CD-i with MESS version 0.161 the same way Brad did in his video and what I get is: A teal colored screen for 15 seconds before the Philips settings screen appears (clock, date/time, etc) I select "Play CD-1" and the teal screen appears for another 15 seconds At this point the majority of the games display the error message "Sorry. In order to play this disk your cd-i must come equipped with a digital video cartridge." All of the games are CHD. Very few of them start without this error message. Before I start tweaking I want to know if everyone else experiences these same issues. Teal screen, long launch times, fatal digital video cartridge error.

I think this is really the way to go. It is so much easier to grab a couple games from the "warehouse" so to speak, rather than bring the warehouse to the front counter.

I collected for several years, been into emulation since the mid 90's, and am now starting to trim the fat on a morbidly obese collection. I hand pick CD based systems but as far as the older systems are concerned I find a Top List and add the specific titles I remember playing. The older or less popular the system, the smaller the Top List. So I might import 25 Atari 2600, 10-15 Colecovision or Intellivision, a handful of Apple II, Amiga, etc. Then I use no-intro sets for 8-bit on up where I spent a lot of time gaming, getting rid of duplicates and foreign titles where necessary. I played some titles when I went to Japan but other than that, gone. Some systems like the 3D0 are treasured to me because I wanted one but didn't have one. MAME has the worst calorie count and I am going to use Lord Monkus tools for dealing with that. I just see no point in collecting a ton of Colecovision and Intellivision arcade ports when you can have the real game in MAME, or 2,000 Apple II disk images when all you ever played was Oregon Trail and Zork in the school library. Of course, the full sets are backed up and I can draw from it as needed, but I want a more manageable and playable library.

This is good to know. I wasn't aware Cd-i emulation was working. I have been using 3D0 as I consider the two of them fairly cross platform.

This worked flawlessly, and I thank you very much.

I have been buying some GOG releases lately and from what I gather when you click the GOG exe it unpacks the original assets and a Dosbox folder to run it. I then can use the Dos game importer in Launchbox and it uses the game exe it finds with Dosbox and all is well. However, some games close and won't run when launched through Launchbox but will run if I click on the desktop shortcut GOG created. For example, when imported into Launchbox, Tex Murphy Under A Killing Moon's launch executable "MOON.exe" will launch the game to a blank screen and close after several seconds. But if I click the shortcut on the desktop, which seems to be MOON.exe being launched from the Dosbox in the GOG folder, it runs fine. Any workarounds? Obviously, this isn't the end of the world because I can play outside of Launchbox, but it would be nice to have everything organized and contained.

It is Picodrive for 32X. My mistake.

Nope. Same deal. Loads the game to a black screen, and stays black until I escape to close out.

Has anyone run into trouble getting Genesis roms to work with Genesis Plus GX core? The games import fine, Retroarch loads fine, but then only a black screen. I have experimented with roms zipped and unzipped, bios files in the Retroarch system folder, selecting Retroarch as default emulator in Launchbox... SMS and 32X run fine with the same core. Roms have the md file extension.

In case anyone else stumbles across this same issue I wanted to update that according to the developers MSR does not work with Redream and the files were fine. Using Demul for MSR and it does the trick.

I tried other roms. Same crash, same time. But if you say there are a ton of bad ones it won't hurt to keep trying. Thank you Lordmonkus.

Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone else in the community has a problem with Metropolis Street Racer (Dreamcast) crashing during the intro screen running the ReDream emulator. And if it is working for others, I'd like to have any suggestions on settings. The game loads, the intro video starts, and if you press start, any button, or even the D pad, the game crashes and the emulator closes. If you let the video play all the way through, it closes. ReDream compatibility says it is playable, and before the instant crash, everything looks great and is smooth. This crash occurs on both low end and high end pc's. Thanks for reading.

I am running Retroarch for the exact reasons you described. I had to make the better choice. Boot screen is nice, but I'm confident there is a way to make it happen. That's part of the fun of emulation; getting things to work. My go to SMS emulator for years was Meka, but it became more difficult to use as new Windows came out.

I used Kega Fusion and loved it. I have been trying to use Retroarch more for its plug and play functionality but I have not been able to get it to load the Master System bios screen. Retroarch loads straight into the game. I have the bios file in the system folder, have gone into the options, but it won't load the intro screen. Some of us want to see the Sega logo come up before a game starts. Nostalgia. And the hidden snail game...
