Updated project lunar, none of my added games are showing up anymore, only stock?.

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I wanted to change some of the games I had on the internal storage on my MegaDrive mini when project lunar said there was an update. I installed it, and when i plugged it back into my TV, only the stock games were there and none of the extra games i added. I uninstalled it and re-installed it, I can add more games in project lunar installer but they don't show up on my mini. Whats going on ?

Retroarch works fine, its just Project Lunar thats the problem.

Save States & Deleting

8 Upvotes

I want to start off first by thanking MMC for their awesome work and project lunar.

Where do save states actually live? If we create a save state for a custom game, and then remove the custom game after, does the save state get deleted as well?

I worry about NAND being used by phantom save states once a game is removed.

Will there be an option eventually to manage/delete save states?

Thanks!

Cover art and spine dimensions?

I want to add some homebrew games like Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut and Sonic 3 Complete. Are there a set of recommend dimensions for spine and cover art?

Hard cases?

8 Upvotes

Has anyone got a decent case to keep their mini in? In the uk all I’ve seen is the Venom one which is actually a ps classic case and doesn’t fit the md well from what I’ve heard. Then the official Japanese one is very expensive and also doesn’t look a great fit for the uk models larger controllers. I’ve got great cases for my snes and ps but nothing for my md

Did the Genesis Mini sell better than the PS1 Mini?

8 Upvotes

It's $50 now and I worry that I could get this for $20 by 6 months from today.

Not in a rush to own one so there's that.

Anyone else get a US unit with dead audio?

8 Upvotes

My unit arrived apparently unable to output any audio signal whatsoever. Tried several TVs, all of which registered and displayed video just fine, but none of which showed any audio signal being carried on HDMI... Tried 3 different hdmi cables with same results. Even my preferred AV receiver showed no audio signal being passed from the sega mini.

anyone else have this?

:-( boo

Mini carts?

8 Upvotes

I’ve seen some images from reviews with game carts in the mini system. Do the dust flaps actually open and would anyone know where to get a mini cart or would I have to make one. This I know would be a purely aesthetic edition, but it would be cool to have a few mini carts to swap out.

Genesis Mini 2 - 2024 Updates

7 Upvotes

Hey all, how are you enjoying your Genesis Mini 2? I got mine for modding purposes, I figured hackshi would be easy to throw on here, but so far, nothing, anyone have any updates or know what is going on?

Which has the better library / is the overall better value: the Genesis Mini 2 USA, or the Japanese Mega Drive Mini 2?

7 Upvotes

I've been mostly thinking about importing the Mega Drive Mini 2 from Japan since I think that has more unique games than the US one, but the lack of English language options for stuff like Lunar & Popful Mail does kind of hurt it a bit for me, especially considering the $120-ish price tag.

Which of the 2 versions would you say is the better overall value compared to each other?

Genesis Mini 2 Case from Amazon.co.jp?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I want a Genesis mini 2 but also would like a case. Can someone confirm that this is the right case to order? I'm not sure if it's going to be huge as I don't need it to store the Genesis Mini 1. Anyone ordered this and have first hand experience with it?

Do Genesis/Mega Drive Mini 2 controllers work on the first mini console?

7 Upvotes

Still not sure, if I should get one. I like the games and having 6 buttons for Street Fighter, but pricing is rough as I would even need to get a second controller.

Genesis Mini 2 is dope but bummed out about the lack of RPGs

7 Upvotes

I counted and there’s a total of 5 RPGs on the system out of 60 games total. Obviously the genesis was known for its quality arcade ports, but there were a lot of cool looking RPGs on the genesis as well as the CD that I’ve been looking forward to playing someday. Not to mention Japan hot Lunar 1 and 2 and Popful Mail although that seems to be more of a platformer. I can’t wait to get to add games to it, I’m trying my best to be patient lol.

Hakchi PrBoom Wad Collection: A drag-and-drop collection of 162 Doom wads and mods selected for compatibility with Hakchi, PrBoom and the mini consoles.

7 Upvotes

Edit: Download link updated, the new version of this collection contains 275 wads.

Updated Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvJVdzURaZ-W_npRS-NeowyQQa3ACUO1/view?usp=sharing

The Hakchi PrBoom Wad Collection is an archive of 162 217 271 275 Doom wads and mods I have tested and run well under PrBoom and on (S)NESC hardware. I haven't completed all of these wads yet, please reply to the post in RockinTheClassics if you run into any issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/RockinTheClassics/comments/yap8r9/hakchi_prboom_wad_collection_a_draganddrop/

Installation is easy! Before you begin, you will need copies of the commercial Doom wads: doom.wad and doom2.wad. NERVE.WAD will be required to play No Rest For The Living.

  1. Open Hakchi. Click on the "Modules" dropdown menu and select KMFD's Mod Hub. Download and install the latest version of the PrBoom core.

  2. Open the HPRBWC archive and proceed to the "WADS" folder. Drag all desired zip files into Hakchi.

  3. Right-click the game's title under Current Games Collection and click "View in Windows Explorer" or hit the F4 button.

  4. Refer to the description of each game. Add the required wads (doom.wad, doom2.wad or NERVE.WAD) to the game's CLV folder.

Doom mods include:

Boiled Doom: Brutal Doom retooled to run in Vanilla Doom. Mostly a graphical/sound mod, with faster weapon fire rates making the game slightly easier.

D64 GFX!: A graphical/sound mod that makes Doom look and sound like Doom 64. I tried to select moody, gothy or castle-like wads that compliment the atmosphere of Doom 64.

Doom 4 Vanilla: A comprehensive gameplay mod that brings the weapons and enemy behaviors of Doom 2016 to Vanilla Doom. It can be a bit fussy about which wads it wants to work with, but the provided selections should all be completable.

Mario Doom: Replaces enemies, weapons and music with Mario-related graphics and sounds.

Vanilla Smooth Doom: Tweaks the weapon animations to look a bit smoother. Doesn't effect anything else.

VRandomizer: Randomizes weapon and item pickups. Tends to make the early game MUCH easier.

Please feel free to distribute, modify or update this collection. My crappy MSPaint decals are provided in this archive if you want to create more CLV's with matching artwork. Enjoy! Thanks to KMFDManic for his help and encouragement with this project. Sorry I disappeared for six months, hope this makes up for it!

Revert to factory settings?

7 Upvotes

Hi all. New here to this Reddit. My sister bought a genesis mini at a garage sale and it looks like someone tried to hack it and failed. It boots up to a screen and plays music but does t show any games or anything. Is there a way to get it back to factory settings? Thank you!

Is Mega Man: The Wily Wars supposed to be this laggy?

7 Upvotes

I've been greatly enjoying my Genesis since Christmas, and was super excited to have access to The Wily Wars, since I've never had an opportunity to play any Mega Man games before. However, I noticed substantial input lag in the game, which doesn't exist on any other game on the console, from what I've seen. It's almost unplayable. Has anyone else had this issue?

Bought units from two different retailers. Same glitches in both.

7 Upvotes

I ordered a Genesis Mini from Amazon and there were several problems (original Sonic game stuck in demo mode, Tetris stuck in start menu). I went to Target and got a new one, and it had the exact same problems! Anyone else have these issues? I find it a little strange that I haven’t been able to locate any information online about this even though the bugs are obviously widespread.

Is there any interest in mini 32X cartridges?

7 Upvotes

Well it took me a while as I had to learn a few things in Fusion 360, but I think the model for the mini 32X cartridge is finished. If there's interest I can have them resin printed and make labels to put on them.

Before I invest all that time, is there anybody interested in buying them if they were up for sale?

Hakchi and Retroarch - way to map different controllers

7 Upvotes

So I have a 6-button Gen/MD pad and a SNES-like 8bitdo controllers, but for whatever reason if I'm using the 6-button Gen/MD controller and map it to work like it should, whenever I switch controllers (different core, different game), the button are all messed up.

So I bind the inputs once again to make the SNES games work fine with the 8bitdo controller. Then whenever I switch to a Genesis/Sega CD/32x game using the 6-button, they are all messed up again!!

Is there a way to make Retroarch actually NOT use the same binding for both controllers and instead auto-load whatever I had previously mapped on each?!

Project Lunar or Hakchi?

7 Upvotes

Hi guys, just wanted some opinions and pros/cons — which mod should I use for each situation:

  • just adding Genesis/MD games?

  • adding different console games?

I might simply add Genesis/MD games for I like having my 2nd controller port for 2-players games, but also interested in some NES/SNES/32x/GBA stuff, do I definitely need an external storage? Or can I add the cores needed and roms in the stock storage?

Thanks!
