| ||||||||||||
genesis4iphone is a Sega Genesis & Sega CD emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This software was developed by ZodTTD. It was ported over from Notaz PicoDrive for the GP2X.
At the time of writing, it is available on Cydia for Apple's firmware 2.0 and higher.
[edit] Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I install genesis4iphone on my iPhone/iPod Touch ?
- How do I transfer my ROMs and the bios to my iPhone/iPod Touch ?
- Follow this SSH tutorial. The files must be placed in /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/GENESIS/.
- Alternatively, you can install both Safari Downloader (free) and iFile ($4) through Cydia. Safari Downloader allows you to download files onto your iPhone, but you need iFile (or something similar) to move the files to the appropriate location. iFile can also extract compressed files and set file permissions. Remember to set file permissions to Read/Write/Execute for User, Group and World.
- How can I enable sound in the emulator ?
- Start the emulator, go to Now Playing and put the sound slider to the right (on the control pad). Be aware that when enabled, it will play really choppy.
- How can I play Sega CD Games ?
- You need BIOS files.
- I tried putting bios files in with the Sega CD bin and nothing starts up. Am I doing something wrong?
- Why there is no sound of the .mp3 files in the game?
- Because you will die in 7 days.
But ask on the forum first.
- How does savestate work?
- I will post this here since the forums don't exist anymore... I just lost about 2 hours of an aerobiz supersonic game because savestate doesn't work exactly like I'd assumed it would. After playing around a little bit, I'm fairly sure the only reliable way to save state is to exit via the menu and select 'save to a new file' (don't hit the home button to leave or attempt to save over an old save). I then manually delete the extra save files via ssh.
