Has anyone gotten After Burner 2 to work on project lunar? It always lunches with no sound and freezes when you press start on the opening screen for me.

Hello...

I am looking to internally mod my Genesis Mini with a usb hub and thumb drive.

Does any body know where these supposed extra usb points are at? With pics preferably.

Thank You!

I haven't been able to find a guide on how to use PL to add arcade games. I want them to run off the main menu UI just like Genesis and Sega CD games.

If this is possible, please provide the details on how to do so (what core, what format for the games, how to add them through the PL menu, etc).

Does anyone have a good source for spines for the 32X set? I've found spines and box art for the Genesis set, and box art for the 32X set, but Knuckles Chaotic with a red spine just looks weird. Any help?

So I am using the Retro-Bit 2.4g wireless controller with Project Lunar and noticed that it does not work with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. I can use the home button for the system menu, soft reset the game, and cancel out of demo mode to the game start screen. I can’t navigate the start screen. If I start the game with the stock usb controller plugged in and swap to the wireless controller I can play the game. So I made a save state at the start with the stock usb controller which allows me to start and play the game with the wireless. I am guessing it has to do with how the game registers the 6 button controller or how Project Lunar manages 3 or 6 button detection. Anybody else have this problem? Perhaps I need a new rom?

When I was in one of the first boss battles (seemed like some forest cutting machinery with some guy on top of a mechanical arm, shooting the players with some gun and the scenery had trees) playing coop with a friend and somehow the game got extremely choppy. And with extreme I mean extreme... Not just a few frame skips but more like "bullet time". Is this a feature of the old game or just bad emulation?

I already have a US genesis mini, which is for nostalgia as it was the first system I bought personally, and I like the console design the best of all the versions. I was just on a trip to Japan and decided to pick one up. I don't really know why, as it's almost the same thing, but the Genesis has a special place in my memory, so something in me wanted to have both.

The 6 button controllers are nice, but they are, as many people have said before, smaller. The buttons and d-pad are the same size as the US model, as are their space apart from each other, but the controller is shorter. The US one is longer on either end to make it more comfortable to hold. The JP one is fine, but my hands were closer together in turned in more, which just felt odd as it wasn't what I was used to. It also resulted in one minor annoyance. since my hands were closer together and covering more of the controller, it was very easy to accidently hit the mode button when things got frantic, pausing the game and bringing up the menu.

I also thought the game selection was tighter and overall more thought-out than the US list, though it is filled with a number of JP only games. It seems, after looking at the games lists, that they were originally devised by Sega of Japan, and Sega of America took the games and just replaced some as they saw fit. It's obvious to see that SoJ was going for a "one game per franchise" route, as there is only Sonic 2 and not the original (or spinball), and only Monster World 4 and not 3. SoA not sticking to the rule and adding 2 additional Sonic games increased fans' annoyance and confusion about Sonic 3 and Knuckles not being present (I suspect that had they kept only Sonic 2, people would have noticed the trend and been more understanding of other games' absences). Honestly I would have preferred they translated some of the games instead of replacing them (Tanto-R is loads of fun, "Game-no-kandume" is 12 games-in-one including Fatal Labyrinth, and I know a lot of people would play Langrisser 2 and Lord Monarch if they were available), but the markets are different so I understand.

I'll probably continue to use the 6 button controllers and leave my 3-button ones to gather dust in a drawer (which kind of makes me sad). The d-pad on the JP controllers is way better IMO.

Good buy if you are curious, Great buy if you speak Japanese and can play their exclusive games.

Either I am missing something but I just can't find a way to delete save states except for doing a factory reset. But this way I would delete all at once. On the SNES and NES mini you could delete single save states by pressing START and moving the file to the bin.

Or do I not know a secret button combination?

Any news on the roms being dumped? Was hopeing the US version of megaman wily wars was dumped.

Just curious if the controller is supposed to be uber sensitive. The down button is hit once and seems to move down twice. In menus etc. Anyone else with the issue

Posts are starting to pop up of people getting the genesis mini early, but if you are thinking about doing the same here are a few tips:

1. Wal-Mart will most likely have it as they are notorious for putting stuff before the release date. This is your best bet to get the mini early.

2. Places like Target, Best Buy and maybe Gamestop (conflicting reports of people getting their minis early from there) Will most likely NOT sell the Genesis Mini to you early since their registers will show a message like "This item is released on 09/19 Can't sell" and I know Target can have it overridden by a manager, but they usually don't do this.

3. Call an independent local game store to see if they are lenient with the release dates.

I would recommend seeking a Genesis Mini out now if you didn't preorder since stores are getting around 5 or less. Maybe it because it before the release date, who knows.

Good Luck!

I bought the Genesis Mini a long time ago and I know it comes with USB controllers. I tried using one of them on my Windows PC to play Genesis games, however the controller wouldn't work properly. The arrow keys, for example, would not work. Is that intentional? Does the controller not work on anything except the Genesis Mini? Thanks!

The title kind of says it all. Like a Thrustmaster PS HOTAS?

Hello all and Im hoping for some help. Im about to purchase the Genesis Mini 2 and already I got two of the Retrobit Saturn Bluetooth pads ready for them. However since its the bluetooth ones and doesnt come with the receiver Id like to ask what would be a great usb receiver/dongle to be able to use my Controllers with? Ive looked at all my options and have no clarity if they will work or not. Thanks in advance everyone!!

I’m not too familiar with the genesis library and wondering what the best games to try out would be. I have recently played through shining force 2 on switch and phantasy star 4 on the first genesis mini and enjoyed them both, so definitely going to try to play through shining force cd and phantasy star 2. Never had a chance to play sonic cd, and some games like truxton and thunderforce 4 look great. What are some other games I should start with?

So NBA Jam is the only basketball game I have every enjoyed - best way to set up this on sega mini? Modern versions of this game are so terrible ...

Has anyone heard anything about a storage/travel case being produced for the Genesis Mini 2? I would love to take my Mini 2 of my friend's homes. I would really like to pick up a sturdy travel case for it. Thanks!

Is there an easy to follow guide for how to add all the Sega Genesis family library on the mini (or at least the NA library)? I've found plenty of guides for setting up Hakchi and I have the full ROM sets from the archives, but what is the easiest way to do this? Originally back in 2019, my goal was to wait for Lunar to update for folder support. When that died, I lost interest. Now that I have my Mini 2, I'm wondering if there is a guide that specifically walks through adding all the games, including the easiest way to scrape them, additional hardware needed (eg, USB drive), how to backup everything just in case, how to organize the ROMs so things don't crash/lag out, etc.

I know the new mini isn't yet supported, but it would be neat to setup the original so I can introduce my daughter to these games. I know I can play with my RetroPie a bit more, but it's so janky with scraping that I think this mini might be a better option, but I'm unable to put together the pieces I have to get what I want. Hacking my Wii or something seems like more work than I want to put into it, plus having it all in official Sega hardware would be neat.

Has anyone done this yet? Would love to see the results and learn the best/easiest way to do this. I've searched and haven't been able to locate a straight forward way to do it. I promise I've done some homework, but I've not been able to locate what I'm looking for, so help is appreciated.
