How can I play Sega games on my Amiga?

[Christian Johansson]

There is a very good MasterSystem emulator (i know, not as fun as MegaDrive but..) called AmiMasterGear iirc. Doesn't work with gfxcards though.

Try unzipping the files first ;-)

Thanks. I tried that last night but Dopus reported that they were encrypted. But I've just chosen to open the file for Sonic 1 using a PC. This shows two files called 'romguy.html' and 'Sonic The Hedgehog (W) (Rev01) [!].bin'

However, if I try to copy either of them to a Jaz disk to take to the A4000, a box appears for me to enter a password.

BTW I'm using Mame060 to play old arcade classics like Mr Do, Berzerk, Bombjack and Mooncresta. This is really cool but the files *do* remain zipped. Yeah I've tried putting the Sega roms into Mame060, as you do, but they aren't recognized.

@ AMIGAZ

I've tried AmiGeneratorT.exe as well with no joy. Can you confirm whether the Sega game roms remain zipped or not please mate?

The must be unzipped

So they're encrypted. You'll need new ones - try another site.

Yeah, that's what I was suggesting by using one of the Mac emulators as a framework - they use the Amiga's own 68000.

macs 68k classic macs anyway have dumb frame buffers and simple dacs for audio nothing has to be emulated there you just have to make sure the memory area is clear for the buffer and reformat the data and send it to the amigas display and audio

sega genesis dont have dumb frame buffers they have a video chip that can handle two independantly scolling backgrounds and up to 80? sprites simltaniously it also has the z80 and a fairly complex audio chip that has to be emulated. that is alot to emulate.

second that if anyone wants that stuff they really should look someplace else (still not edited out yet)

@ Piru and KThunder

Sorry for the delay but after messing with this till 3AM, I've just fell asleep for a few hours.

Let me know if I have edited out the wrong link?

Amazing what some sleep, a fresh start and some luck can do :-) My 5 year old daughter can now play Sonic The Hedgehog and I can play WhipRush on the *Amiga*    8-)  :-D  :-D  :-D



@ KThunder

Thanks for telling me about AmiGenerator  :pint:


@ Matt H

You were correct about the files needing to be unzipped :pint: (Odd that they remained zipped for Mame060)


@ AMIGAZ

You were correct about needing to use AmiGeneratorT.exe  :pint: We have a great picture and very good sound too. The screenmode is 320x240 8bit.


As she cannot read or write properly yet I have created and left out some icons to start AmiGenerator and run the games.

(no laughing at them :laughing:)
