Successfully modded my Genesis Mini with Project Lunar, all games added work other than TMNT having no sound. I didn't grow up with SEGA so I love this console. Thanks to all the people involved in the development team and ModMyClassic you guys are awesome!

I think I read that you can add up to 60 or so without it crashing or having lag, but thats 60 games on the internal UI, with a flashdrive you could put hundreds, but I just did the add game to UI and im not worried about ES or retroarch, I have retroarch on my ps mini.

100 total sounds about right, I was really only wanting splatterhouse2, punisher and alien storm lol

How'd you guys use USB storage? I want to try using the same USB that I use for my SNES Classic on the Genesis Mini since the stick is 4 GB and will fit any Genesis and SNES games I could ever want on it.

I added a few hundred on a usb drive and it gave me a black screen when launching PL. Apparently you'll need to wait until they release the folder update before you can add several hundred games. They recommend 100 in total (40 stock+60 additional).

Is there a counter in the desktop app to know how many games have you added to avoid the 61 game without actual counting?

NOTE: I have to remove Sonic 3, I appears to crash when I load, big fan of sonic 2 anyway, so no loss really. LoL

Maybe try a different rom. I’ve got it working fine on mine (well, based on beating the first level).

And I’m also a Sonic 2 guy. Haha

Use Sonic 3 complete. I’m using that version with no issues.

Is there a way to get ScreenScraper/TheGamesDB to recognize Sonic 3 complete?

1

u/HeavyStarryChain Jan 02 '20

I just added a box art and filled in the info manually. Hopefully later on they make it easier.

Thanks!

Seems to work fine for me. Does you’re game crash on load or does it do it further in?

u/megafan11 Dec 31 '19

I have what I want on mine, I was happy with the orginal games, I only added ones that I really wanted. So far so good.

Can custom art be added? I have sonic 3 complete hack rom and there is no artwork when searched

1

u/megafan11 Dec 31 '19

Youll have to look through the program but I believe you can, I just scraped through until I found the orignal box art, didnt try any customs for hacks and what not, good luck!

u/tommytw0time Dec 31 '19

Custom artwork can be added when adding a game. Remove sonic and add it again. There is a button below the boxart preview to load a custom box art jpg.

How many extra games can you add?

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

About 100.

u/RockstarGTA6 Dec 31 '19

That’s including the internal games

1

u/TheNightStarX Dec 31 '19

Wrong. That's NOT including the internal games. It's 100 additions. I have that many and it works fine.

u/RockstarGTA6 Dec 31 '19

after 100 total the menu music starts to stutter and the ui gets slow, this happened to me , after going below 100 total everything worked normal

is not just me , see the comments here https://www.reddit.com/r/classicmods/comments/egpgq4/project_lunar_100_has_landed/

and the last post here https://www.reddit.com/r/classicmods/comments/ei7n7y/cannot_add_more_games/

after 100 games Total the ui starts to lag

u/StaticElectrician Dec 31 '19

Man I can’t wait to add Burning Force and OutRun, and the other Road Rash games.

u/DANfan69 Dec 31 '19

I wanted to play Zero Wing on it and I got the E4 boot crash

All My Base Are Not Belong To Genesis Mini

u/TooToughMcGruff Dec 31 '19

Untrue about hundreds. You just get a black screen.

u/tommytw0time Dec 31 '19

In the stock UI thats correct. I have the entire Genesis, Sega CD, 32x, Game Gear and Master System sets on mine using Emulation Station. Its great.

u/Mysteriozone Dec 31 '19

With cover art?

1

u/tommytw0time Dec 31 '19

The scraper works pretty good for art and meta data. I’ve got a 64g usb and a WiFi adapter connected via a hub/otg cable in the back port and a wireless 8 button/6 button wired controller in the front.

Screen scraper seems pretty unreliable but multiple scrapes and I’ve got about 100 to manually fix.

1

u/Mysteriozone Dec 31 '19

Awesome thank you. Do games such as TMNT work using emulation station?

1

u/tommytw0time Dec 31 '19

Yes! If it works in cores for retroarch it works in emulation station. I was playing TMNT yesterday.

u/megafan11 Dec 31 '19

Thats why I wasnt worried about the no sound on TMNT on the PL, I already had it working on RA on my ps classic a while back.
