Mednafen doesn't run

Hi

I downloaded mednafen and I want to run SEGA Saturn Roms and all the 17 systems that it emulates.

I renamed 2 BIOS files from Sega Saturn BIOS (USA).bin to sega_101.bin and Sega Saturn BIOS to mpr_17933.bin.

Can you help me?

And I really don't know very much about this piece of emulation.

Thanks in advance

Help me is very important!!! I need to run SEGA roms on Mednafen

@MamePPCA1

My MD5SUM for my "mpr-17933.bin" is "3240872c70984b6cbfda1586cab68dbe".

That file should go into the "firmware" folder of the Mednafen configuration directory.

But, you are not going to have a good time trying to play Sega Saturn games with Mednafen on your Amiga. Here are the minimum requirements:

I have tried it on an X5020 - and it is not a good experience.

All the other systems work okay, although, PSX is only just playable with an X5020. Anything lesser than that is probably okay with other systems.

Thanks for all explanations and I expected to be able to run SEGA SATURNS roms flawlessly on my AmigaOne X5000/20 but I received a deception with your explanations.

Anyway I am very happy because I configured the joypad for VICE with AmigaInput anywhere and after some months I can play games witn this awesome joypad support.I am very happy and I played Out Run too.

I expect to play some games or roms too.Amiga hasa great variety,richful of amazing emulators.

Thanks anyway

You really are one interesting person @MamePPCA1.

Have fun :)

@rjd324

Yeah I know I am an interesting person

You I don't know,but probably too.All of the members of this comunnity can be interesting.

Thank you too.

What about Mednafen configuration? How can I run roms? And which files I needed?

I am dying to see mednafen runnnIng SEGA SATURN ROMS and more

1. Set an environment variable named MEDNAFEN_HOME. For example, in your user-startup:


2. Run mednafen by just going to the mednafen installation directory and type "mednafen" assuming that your MEDNAFEN_HOME variable is already established

It should have created some files/folders in games:.mednafen

3. Add ROMS into "firmware", for example, the Sega Saturn ROM or the PSX ROM - whatever system you want to use

4. cd to your game - where it is installed and simply run:


5. Consider changing some of the configuration parameters. The following should pretty much always be done:
- Change "cd.image_memcache" to value "1"
- Change "sound.period_time" to value "100000"

It is in the README document.

Once you have it configurd then you can avoid the use of the command line by using something like eGame.

@rjd324

I have never regretted having written a papyrus as a quick guide to start this emulator

@rjd324

Many thanks my Amiga friend? Where do you live?

I have great expectations for the Amiga in the near future and for my is just important to see new games and be able to play roms on emulators and games like Tower 17 that I still don't have.

About Mednafen I will check later with your explanations.And I want to run all the Roms specially Sega Saturn Ones and Sega 32x.And must be great and very playable I hope.

I will try later

@MamePPCA1

The 32x is currently not supported by Mednafen nor by any other emulator for Amiga.
Mednafen is very slow, but if you have atleast a Sam460 or a G4 you may atleast expect to runs decently the 16bit home consoles

@rjd324

I want to know what are the file extension naming of the roms in Mediafen say".rom",".iso" or ".bin!?

I need to know this for sure.

@samo79

OK I see

So they have to release a new version soon?

On my case I am happily trying to download and doing it A SEGA Megadrive and SEGA 32x romset that I love to see on my great AmigaOne X5000/20 PowerPC processor with lots of RAM and infinite possibillities.Amiga rules!!!

@MamePPCA1

I don't know, maybe...

@samo79

Yeah you can write one

@samo79
But if it runs decent on SAM460 or MAC if must fly or run fast on AMIGAONE X5000 no?

@MamePPCA1

Mednafen can run fast most of the 16bit consoles on an X5000 hardware while the PSX still only usable ...
(Saturn still unplayable on every current Amiga hardware) ...
If you don't have atleast an X1000/X5000 better use FinalBurn and FPSE instead

Does Mednafen support software rendering or is it limited to 3D acceleration?

I would like to do some tests with this emulator.I only ask because I get this error when running Mednafen:

In the README it says: paraphrase.

Create an environment variable named MEDNAFEN_HOME. Just read that section and you should be fine.

Is it easy?

Thanks

Let me make a step by step video later on.

@rjd324

OK that must be the key!

Thank you
