metzger130 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I did a search on google for homebrew sega games and really can't find much at all for the genesis/cd/32X. Is there a place to look for some games? I do love the older games but would love to try some newer ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzger130 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I tried to look for pier Solar for genesis on the internet but I don't see a rom image of it and I also don't see that it is even for sale anymore. I love RPG's and would like to play it but can you get a rom of it to put on my everdrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Guess you did not look to hard...... http://www.magicalgamefactory.com/en/factory/shop/ No legal ROM for everdrive etc....... No Genesis / MegaDrive version left available for sale but other platforms available. PC / Mac / Linux / Dreamcast Pre - Orders.

metzger130 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 So the game basically can't be bought anymore for the genesis and no "legal rom" for it. Not sure hat you mean by "legal rom" but hopefuly someday I can find it. Are there taht few homebrews for the genesis/cd/32X that they are harder to find. I own other systems and see all kinds out for coleco, intellivison, 2600, but the genesis is the only system I currently have a flash cart for and would like to find some homebrews to compare to the games from when the system was actually around new.

"Legal ROM" meaning there is a pirated version for those who know where to find that was dumped without permission and even "fixed" for use on the Everdrive however I wont be sharing info on where to find that. The only LEGAL ROM (IE: Approved by the publisher) was a Beta Demo released sometime ago. Hope that clarifies things. There is not a whole lot of Genesis homebrew available in general retail or otherwise.

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Desert Bus was part of a 3-in-1 multigame of vintage Sega CD homebrew, perhaps the most arduous game ever made since you basically steer a bus for 8 hours with no pause, then you do it all over again. Charity events have been held where gamers play marathon sessions of this game. There's also a modern Fix it Felix remake but for whatever reason the author decided to only make 3 copies. Genesis isn't any harder to develop for that SNES, and SNES homebrew is just starting to take off. I imagine Genesis will follow in the path of Atari, NES, and SNES before it. However, popularity of a system does not equate to a thriving homebrew scene. There are far more Jaguire homebrews while N64 is virtually non-existant, even though they share similar architectures (MIPS) despite N64 being far more popular and capable.

The only LEGAL ROM (IE: Approved by the publisher) was a Beta Demo released sometime ago. I knew there was one out there "fixed" for a specific version of the MESS emulator, but I hadn't heard about a fix for the Everdrive. It's a shame the publisher is no longer interested in selling the game or even providing the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The mix of homebrewers using both high and low level tools at AtariAge is a rare and beautiful thing. I was quite surprised to find other systems didn't have the collaboration that we do here. Although the Sega Genesis has a BASIC compiler and C and assembly I don't think there's much synergy. Less releases follow from that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dreamcast homebrew is alright, but honestly nothing compares to AA and the homebrews. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Super Fighter Team has a few newer cart releases. From them I only own Star Odyssey, but it was pretty solid. They're not really homebrew, but I get the feeling this thread really has left homebrew anyway. "Legal ROM" meaning there is a pirated version for those who know where to find that was dumped without permission and even "fixed" for use on the Everdrive however I wont be sharing info on where to find that. Looks like I'm going to have to get my google on tonight. It works 100%? I own two copies, but carts are an unnecessary hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's too bad there isn't a vibrant Sega Genesis homebrew cart scene, especially one in which you could trade in Genesis cartridges to be re-used. If there was, I'd have a ton of credits because I know several places that have lots of Genesis sports cartridges for a song-and-a-dance. Better to re-use them than them end up in the landfill and enriching goldbug operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well, there are tons of people making repro carts of unreleased titles, hacks, and the occasional PD homebrew or port (e.g. Barbarian). I have 4-5 of them myself. If you can get sports carts for well under $1 each -- especially non-Electronic Arts carts, i.e. ones without the yellow tab -- I'm sure some folks would be interested.

What's wrong with EA's yellow tab cartridges? Is it for aesthetics or general disdain for anything related to EA? From what I've seen, I guess you couldn't take a hollowed out EA cartridge and install a bare Everdrive board into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well, folks do use EA carts for repros of unreleased games that would've been published by them; I have an It Came from the Desert repro that uses the EA form factor. But yeah, I think it's partly aesthetics -- not wanting to use an EA cart for a non-EA game -- and may have something to do with PCB shape too. Also, the yellow tab makes EA carts trickier/more annoying to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Willy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 There is a "standard" for custom PCBs to fit the standard SEGA cart case. If you use that PCB layout, it won't fit in an EA cart. There's no layout for a PCB to fit the EA cart case, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if anyone's interested, I could get a bunch of EA carts; not as easy with the non-EA carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, do you have any leads? Are they over at Sega-16? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no layout for a PCB to fit the EA cart case, either. Back when I had the time to do these things, I made a cartridge board that fits in both Sega and EA cases. So it's possible. Still, the EA cases just aren't as attractive and won't fit into cassette tape storage like the Sega cases. And FWIW, I may be having time to work on this stuff again soon.

I'm sure some folks would love that... me, I'm in the "hate the EA cart" camp. When I need a Sega cart case for something, I just hop on ebay and get another "throw away" NBA Jam cart.
