Genesis Paprium (Aftermarket) SEGA Genesis ROM

[Spike's iconSpike]

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.

If you don't want to overwrite your "genesis_plus_gx.dll" core (so you can continue receiving official core updates), you can rename the modified core to something like "genesis_plus_gx_paprium_libretro.dll". Then create a .info file with matching name ("genesis_plus_gx_paprium_libretro.info"). Use "genesis_plus_gx_libretro.info" as template and change "display_name" and "corename" to something you like.

After you put the .dll and .info files into RetroArch "cores" and "info" folders respectively, you'll get a separate core to use for Paprium alone. However, "genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" and "genesis_plus_gx_paprium_libretro.dll" do share the same folder for configuration files (this behavior is controlled by .dll file, not .info file).

Do you know a way to modify Windows cores to MacOS cores - .dll to .dylib?

A question for those who managed to play this dumped version - is the audio working well, sound effects and everything?

You can't, afaik you can only play the official cartridge on real hardware, this game was made as a big showcase, look what we can do, my cock is so huge, it looks interesting ngl but I wish it's at least playable on emulators, if not on mega drive at least on saturn or dreamcast.

This game was created based on what was allegedly possible with abilities of extra chips from that era. In other words it would be theoretically possible to make it like this in the early to mid 90s. An audiovisual style is always important in video games which are not aiming to be simulators. And it makes it close to Neo Geo level.

this doesnt work on a genesis all I get is the low res mock up. How do I run it on an everdrive on original hardware?

There are two versions of Paprium x64 Genesis Plus GX core. Check the bottom left corner of emulator after a core is loaded.
v1.7.4 f57cf08
and
v1.7.4 0b01cf9 (this one probably has less issues with crashing and freezing)

 

[darthvaderx]

This is not the updated version that fixes some locking bugs, the right file is the 'Paprium (ROM+Core+OST)' that even brings cores of x86, Linux, Mac and R36S.

 

[Signos]

Damn I have retrobat.

 

[Darren]

Yeah I'll just wait until it's on anything besides Retroarch lol

 

[Noside]

I hate retroarch, I rather run the game in a simple Genesis emulator but it seems like we have to run it on that crap.

[consolegamer77]

Does anyone know of a linux version of the modified core file? Tried it on windows and it works great, but I have an arcade cabinet running batocera on an Odroid XU4 and I need .so core not the .dll

 

[Juiceala]

Couldn't this run on sega cd hardware in theory? I know the devs wanted to show off but I'd take a convenient sega cd conversion any day, loading times don't bother me as long I get a convenient way to play it.

I'm sucker for beat 'em up genre so yeah lol.

Same.

 

[qw90700]

Y'all seriously are going to play this crap? If it requires so much extra hardware in order to even run, I don't consider it a Mega Drive game at all

448 MB? Wowza. I imagine if the game had relased decades ago its cartridge would be like a pole lol.

Such size is due to hack using music tracks converted into mp3 files. The game on cart takes only about 10MB.

Haha, finally.

I'm guessing this isn't compatible with retroarch for android tv, I don't have a pc.

 

[Moloch]

Be grateful people put a lot of effort to modify the core for this to work.
Even if it isn't for you.

I think everyone is grateful. However, as it's not in a perfect playable state yet, people tend to complain (as they always do). But I am guessing that now that it is dumped and available, it won't take long until we see improvements and ports.

 

[Scotty]

Hold on... "Watermelon"? The "Pier Solar" devs?

 

[zavbaz]

fake low res "mockup" very cool too :)

 

[parse]

Is this the new version that has crashes and bugs fixed?

 

[Spike's iconSpike]

Oh yeah I'm definitely going to use a random replacement dll just to play a 500MB Mega Drive game and which doesn't even have FM music. Forget that.

It should be labelled with an entirely new category, not aftermark but Anti-aftermarket.

[kai_shmuper]

all that effort just to emulate an play a mid game

Dumb question retroarch cores for any system os (example arkos) the genesis core can use chd format? i know psx cores can handle chd roms,but for genesis i dont know if its possible make paprium chd format rom and load it.
