Sega of Japan Releasing MegaCD emulator with games

[deadearth]

Remember how Sega of Japan was selling MegaDrive roms along with an emulator? Well, they are beta testing MegaCD games too!!!

From what i can tell, during the beta test they will be giving away Mansion of the Hidden souls. 😀

That is pretty cool. Sega seems to have a big interest in emulators. It's like they recognise how valuble that market is.

I want 32x/cd emulation 🙂.

Anyone know when this is suppost to be released?

Hmm, is it anyhow related/based to Gens Emulator?

 

[GaijinPunch]

A bit more info... not a ton.

You guys do realize you only get the rom/image for X amount of days, yeah?

Considering that the Mega Drive emulator was based on Gens, I'd say it's a fairly good bet.

But Gens is GPL now, right? So wouldn't SEGA have to release the source of their emulator if that were the case?

Maybe if this is successful enough, they'll do 32X emulation... then maybe that will open up its userbase big enough to make new 32X games profitable. Come on Kolbri 2! :lol:

Just because Stef released at as GPL doesn't prevent him from licensing it to Sega under a different license.

Nemesis from Sonic Cult managed to write a program to decrypt the disc images from the service.

Yeah, I guess that's true (about the GPL thing).

As for Kolibri - wasn't that already based on / had sprites that were taken from some other game already?

 

[retroborg]

What's the english name of this SEGA Genesis game?
