PicoDrive for Series 60 Released!

The only two options are start emu and close.You have to select start emu to go to the roms selections screen.

yeah unfortunately i cannot get this far with this build. might again be something to do with S60 v2 and the 6600 :-/

A lot of people have reported that its working on their 6600s.Your problem might be firmware specific.

I just updated the first post of this thread with a new PicoDrive version.There are quite a few improvements like a file browser and saving for your config(keys,screen orientation) but sadly enough,it only works on the 7650 right now.A fix is expected pretty soon.

funnily enough the newest build (937) WORKS on my 6600 😃 i installed it to the C drive and my display problem is gone and i can select Roms now. but i can't get key configuration to work :-/ but it's a step in the right direction!

EDIT: ok you CAN reassign the keys, but you get no prompt on screen on how to do this. but the binding order is:

up
down
left
right
a
b
c
start

Hope this helps, so just press 8 then press whatever you want to be the controls 😊

I have just posted build 180.It works when installed on MMC.

Sound might happen,AnotherGuest(the author of PicoDrive S60)is playing with a Z80 ASM EMU,the chip used for sound in many Sega Mega Drive games.

I think it would be great if AnotherGuest would add the sound support as an option as well as option for rendering the screen with anti-alias. If these could be toggled easily, slow-down wouldn't matter (e.g. anti-alias would slow down considerably for normal game play, but when reading text sequences in rpg:s, it wouldn't matter).

Also there is of course the need for the support for save games (either the native save game support or emulator based state-save support).

180 works fine on MMC and the play area is centered vertically, but if I exit via 'c' I can't restart emu without reboot on N-Gage.

By the way Ghosty, not having a go but you are very keen to stamp out illegal N-Gage cracking, phone unlocking, but you have changed the tune a bit on pinching roms off the net to play Megadrive games.
I know you could have the originals,but copying them and even making the emulator is technically copyright violation.

Basically:

N-Gage: platform currently in development, games purchasable with money from purchase going to developer

Mega Drive: 10 year old system. Games only available on ebay and developer gets nothing from their sales. Essentially Abandonware and really i don't see Sega rushing in to obliterate emulation of the megadrive or this particular emulator.

Job,You have to exit the PicoDrive app too which is left running in background after you exit the emulator using the "C" key.

The first post is updated again with two new builds.New menu,aspect ratio and a lot more!

hey man great work (lub ya work ) i was wondering if u can make it possible to play the 32x game's on the picodrive

I think that mortal combat 2 is a 32x game and it works without any problems.

BTW:I'm just the messanger,the guys to thank are Dave - www.finalburn.com and AnotherGuest.

213 version is great. Love the helpful frontend.... BUT now some of the roms that worked before don't work now. All on this list worked before. But now a few don't..

Still Work
------------
Another World
Earthworm Jim
Jurassic Park
Ultimate MK3
Spiderman Animated Series

Don't Work In Version 213 But Did in 180
----------------------------------
Battle Toads
Mortal Kombat 2
Aladdin
Mortal Kombat 1
Lion King
Altered Beast

When I run these specific games - it goes quickly back to the menu?

I have an N-Gage and have the Emulator installed on the phone and the roms on the MMC Card

I thought maybe it was the difference between .BIN roms and .SMD roms but there was no consistency there

32X games arent the same as Megadrive games...so they should not work with PicoDrive. Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 were all released for Megadrive.

The emulator is in version 0.9,its build 213.BTW: Mortal Kombat 2 works for me.

With regards to emu reverting to menu, I got that too, restart picodrive and push the ok button very quickly and carefully, I feel it's as if I'm pushing the C button as well, games that stopped working work again now.

Great yeah. But it seems to be only a few games. Also I think it is because the game is still running and not actually closing. If you are in a game and hit the c button you go back to menu. Hit the c button again your back exactly at the same point in the game. So if you back in the menu the and try to run particular games it jumps right to the menu...

Just uploaded the latest build of PicoDrive - 196.There are quite a few changes but most importantly: Save/Load state.Have fun!

Very good work...

Now i can play at lost of funny games on my n-gage 😃

I've tried SpeedBall 2 and it works very well, but he is too fast !!!!! (funny no ??)
I think that it would be great to have the possibility to decrease the emulated CPU speed...

This emulator would be very fun after this (it is already in fact 😊)

A great thanks for this incredible work !!
Just hoping for a better compatibility and a correction for the text box bugs in some RPG (Phantasy Star 2, Soleil, ...). But whatever, this emu is already a great program, far better than I would always have expected fo a Genesis emu before its release .

Im downloading all roms and testing them with an N-gage, just putting my bit back into picodrive 😉

WORKING!

How do i install the program? do i just copy the one file over?
Thanks.

the lastest build is great! the stretch portrait looks brilliant and the interface and save states are also brilliant!
