Latch Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have all the BIOS named correctly, RA is looking in the correct folder for them, but the mednafen core just wont load. If I switch to Yabuase core then everything loads properly. Any ideas? I followed the V2 Video on youtube to the letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Are your games in cue + bin format ? Mednafens Saturn emulator is more particular over its disk dumps than Yabause and SSF. Games need to be cue + bin, no external audio tracks at all and even then they may not be "proper dumps". If you can, look for dumps from the release group Darkwater. They have pretty much 100% dumps, I don't recall ever running in to a bad dump from them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latch Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Cue+bin + Audio tracks so I guess that's the issue here. I tried a DW file, it came with these, when booting the game I get a message "Uncorrectable data at sector 0" and I get booted into the Saturn CD player part. Just another bad file(s) then? As its at least booting into the saturn emulator core^Those are the files that came with the Darkwater Guardian Heroes file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Usually that's a bad disk image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 screw it ill go back to yabuse works there lol im not fixing 225 images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 actually possible bad bios , i was just playing twin bee and now most of my images dont seem to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yeah it could be bios as well, bad bios and bad disk images are the 2 most issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 i would say its a launchbox issue now. i can run the games perfectly through medanfen . i m using the exact same bios for both. but when i gothrough LB and retroarch i get the "drive is empty" error . any clues ?

Lordmonkus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well if your games are loading through RA on it's own then you have something set up incorrectly in Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 well you have any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Make sure your command line parameter is calling the correct core you want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to find the universal bios? I have downloded some files but i dont know which one to use. Also, where did you copied the files to? edit* i managed to find where to copy the files ( i found some files and used the EU.bin if thats correct) but still mednafen does not work. yubause works. Weird. Edited November 8, 2023 by Stavros75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
