SegaCD will not launch from GameEX - but it does work outside of GameEX.. Says Bios Error..?

[Skid]

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to get the GameEx working with my SegaCD emulator and am having a very bizarre problem and I can't find help for it anywhere. I use Fusion364 for the emulator and it works incredibly well on it's own for SegaCD. I have all the bios set up correctly and it's great.

 

When I use GameEX to load a SegaCD game it gives me a problem though. It tells me the BIOS is not configured, but it is. I tried renaming the file. I tried multiple different BIOS versions, nothing works. Meanwhile, every bios works outside of GameEX. Sega Genesis works great, it's just the SegaCD that I'm having this problem with and there doesn't seem to be any help available, at least none that I've found.

Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?

[Tom Speirs]

Lets work on the old version issue first please. Thanks.

Also, please be aware of where you are posting your threads. I moved both from the PinballX General forums to GameEx General

Hey thanks Tom, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I thought I had the latest version of GameEX. Are you suggesting I try GameEx Evolution?

[Tom Speirs]

No and you might have the latest. The 3.2 threw me off. I think thats what the setup wizard says though. Plese post log\log.txt

[Tom Speirs]

You might also want to try the default retroarch emulator download too.

He is referring to your other thread where you noted that you are running GameEx 3.2 which is WAY old. 

 

[Tom Speirs]

I think the setup wizard says version 3.2. that's the confusion. I think he's on the latest.

[Draco1962]

Why those support files (gameex.ini and log.txt) are so important when reporting an issue .

Sorry I didn't realize there were such things, let me grab it.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks guys.

[Tom Speirs]

No worries and sorry for the delay. Not sure what emulator your using for SegaCD but I would recommend giving retroarch a go. That was what I used last time with that system and I didnt have any issues. Let me know if you need help then ill look at the rom filter issue.
