Until today, I could not get Genesis roms to work properly. They all simply froze on the DGen logo. But then I converted my Sonic the Hedgehog .bin file to an .smd file, and it worked great. At that point, that was the only Genesis rom on the Pi. So I went ahead and converted all of my other Genesis .bin files — all 900 of them — and copied them onto the Pi. And now, when I try to run any of them — including the Sonic file that had previously worked fine — I get sound, but no picture.
Is this a memory issue or something? Any advice?
If it makes a difference, I’m using HDMI.
In my experience, DGEN can work fine for one or two ROMs and, when starting a third ROM, the screen may stay black – even when using HDMI video! For me, the only way to solve this temporarily is to restart the RPi.
I added the Genesis libretro core “Picodrive” to the RetroPie Setup Script. I would suggest to try this. It does not come with the SD-card image, but using the binaries-based installation will install and configure it on your RPi.
