Android retroarch sega cd tutorial plus#

Now, being completely stymied by all of these failed attempts, I tried uninstalling the current retroarch I was using, and tried installing a different version of retroarch. I even go through the process of checking the core information, and I'm still getting the same notification that the required bios are not installed. Once I had everything set up, I booted up my system, tried to fire up a Sega CD game, and I'm booted back to the menu screen. After that, I went through the entire reinstall process. This time I decided to go scorched earth, and I uninstalled hakchi from my system. So I repeat the uninstall, and reinstall process again, this time making sure the bios files were removed before reinstall. Then I start up my system, and still get booted back to the menu screen. I then FTP into my system again, and noticed that for some odd reason, the bios files were still in the system folder. Then reinstalled retroarch, and the aforementioned cores. Desperate, I uninstalled retroarch, and the cores. I even went through retroarch's file directory to see if I could find the bios, but once again no dice. It's only when I'm running my mini, and go to the core information on Retroarch, that it says the bios are missing. In fact, when I FTP into my system, the bios show up in the appropriate folders. I found this to be quite mystifying, as I've double, and triple checked that the bios were in the appropriate folders. (!) Missing Required bios_CD_J.bin (Mega CD JP BIOS) (!) Missing Required bios_CD_U.bin (Sega CD US BIOS) (!) Missing Required bios_CD_E.bin (Mega CD EU BIOS) That's when underneath where it says 'Firmware' I get these messages: Frustrated, I finally do something I should've done from the start, and I checked the core information. So I go into retroarch, and try to run the Sega CD games that way, and I'm still met with the same issue. I also made sure that the games weren't the issue, and I still get the menu screen. This time, I installed the RA Master Module, and put the bios files there, and I still get booted back to the menu screen. Once I was absolutely sure I had the right bios, I tried again, and was booted back to the menu screen yet again. When that didn't work, I checked to make sure I had the right bios. So when I boot up my mini, and try to run the Sega CD games, I'm booted back to the menu screen. I made sure the files were all correct with notepad ++, assigned to the appropriate cores, and that the added files were not compressed.

I added them to the system folder, and added my games, which were mainly bin & cue files, with the occasional CHD file (which I am aware only runs on Genesis Plus GX). I used the file path 'etc/libretro/system', and added the following bios, case sensitive as instructed, which were bios_CD_E.bin, bios_CD_J.bin, and bios_CD_U.bin. When setting up Sega CD games, I followed Patton Plays tutorial to a T. I'm able to get all of my Genesis/Mega Drive games, as well as Game Gear, Master System, and 32X to run fine, and mainly through Genesis Plus GX. The main cores I use for retroarch are Genesis Plus GX, and PicoDrive. Up until I tried installing Sega CD games, I've had no issues getting games to run. Every time I try to run the game, I'm kicked back to the menu. Be forewarned, as this may be a little TL DR, as I'm not going to leave any stone unturned, as I explain everything in detail to the best of my ability.įor well over a month now, I've been having issues trying to get my Sega CD games to run on my Genesis Mini. Before I go any further, let me catch you up to speed with the specific issues I've been facing.

As the title suggests, that for whatever reason, retroarch doesn't seem to recognize that I've installed the Sega CD bios in the appropriate folders, by saying the files are missing.
