The file size is due to the music files on mp3. The actual game is 8MB. To play this on retroarch you have to use the core included, a modified genesis plus core, else the game will play a fake low res "mockup". So go to your retroarch cores folder, backup and delete your genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll and replace it with the one included with the game. After that just load content and find the game .bin.

Download from Repo​

 
after extracted paprium folder dont delete anything in that folder or copy.. you just choose paprium.bin and good to go.

working perfectly on mine.

The Android version posted here in the comments works perfectly, but you have to manually install in a retroarch that has never downloaded the core of Genesis Plus GX, this is the big 'trick'.

Time Extension reported that no, it does not. Kind of like the enhanced Space Harrier II on the mini Genesis2, it doesn't run on stock Genesis hardware. Must have a custom chip inside the real cart or something,
Woah the man himself! :whistle:

It does. The whole thing is custom.
 
And the Russian posted more versions on their forum, including one for 32-bit Android at my request because I have friends who use this system.

Same here, Android RetroArch, let me know if a fix is created, also would like it if I can just use an alt core for this game and keep my official one, thanks.

The core provided by the Russian website works perfectly...
 
There seem to be a few more checks in place. Got a soft lock before fighting the rooftop boss, even with the latest core, so beware.
in android behave weirdly after saving the game it is constant lagging and then freeze entire retroarch... so i do not reccomended to anyone using save feature for now.

after game over the game lag and then freeze.

the issue likely within emulator or the game itself.

i rebooted 3 times after that jeez.

even i updated the game, the game still like that.

do not use save feature the game include save feature after you finish or game over.

if anyone want to download retroarch updated version here the link


get the stable one most reccomended or nightly build for regulary update.

I've installed the core on Retroarch/Emudeck but when I go to boot Paprium.bin I get a list of Suggested Cores that doesn't include the custom core I downloaded. What am I supposed to do here? Can I skip the suggested cores or add the custom Paprium core to that list? Thanks.
 
I tried the Android core on my Android TV RetroArch, no good, it installed on top of my already installed Genesis Plus GX core and broke it, took me a while tinkering with it trying to restore it to its original version.

I guess I'm sol with this game unless somebody makes some kind of an unofficial port, maybe an emulator on an emulator kind of thing, like a mega drive emulator made specifically for this game that is ported to the dreamcast alongside the game, one may dream...cast!
 
Can't extract android core...

I doubt they will, as there is a lot of controversy surrounding this game in particular, so you can only expect this kind of support from cool folks that see past the drama. It happened with Pier Solar too, in the past.
