I haven’t needed to mount the images as it seems to work just fine loading ISO files. Re: playing actual sega cd games on an emulator by Curlypaul Wed 9:35 am I have yes and I had the same issue that you have - To load from a disk you have to tell it which drive to use (even if you only have one it wont default to it). This can be done by clicking on the “File” drop-down menu and either clicking on “Open ISO…” (CTRL+I) if you have the image saved on your hard drive or “Open CR Rom…” (CTRL+C) if you’ve either mounted the image or have it on a physical CD still and want to try loading the game directly on your computer. Alt+ loads those states.įinally, we need to load our games. For fast use of the save state features, CTRL+ are the speed keys to save a state. The load state feature is sitting next to it. This shows the save state feature when I click on the little down arrow next to it. This can easily be found on the tool bar: The next step is to find the save and load state feature. When you have mapped every button, your controller screen will look like this: When you have set that key, you’ll get a little green check mark indicating that the button has been mapped successfully. From here, simply click on the buttons on the picture to input a key (so, for example, you can click on the up arrow button on the controller and hit the up button on your keyboard to set it). To modify the keys, click on the magnifying glass next to “Pad”. This is what this screen looks like after selecting “Pad” in the correct part of the screen: This will allow you to modify your virtual controller. In Port 1, click on the first drop down menu labelled “None” and select “Pad”. You’ll now get a screen that looks like this:Ĭlick on the “Input” tab to go to the Input settings. This can be done either by clicking on the magnifying glass along the toolbar, clicking on the “File” drop-down menu and clicking on “Settings” or using the CTRL+S speed key. Put all of the CD images you have into this new folder.įrom here, we should probably define the keys for our virtual controller. After that, I would create a folder for the CD images (the games) next to the shortcut. This can be done by clicking on the File drop-down menu and either clicking on Open ISO (CTRL+I) if you have the image saved on your hard drive or Open CR Rom (CTRL+C) if you’ve either mounted the image or have it on a physical CD still and want to try loading the game directly on your computer. Inside this folder, I personally choose to create a shortcut to the emulators executable file just to help keep things simple.
