hello everyone, I've recently bought a 2nd hand GP32 and am having some problems getting either DrMD or fGEN32 to work. The guy who sold me the machine left some emus on the card and these work correctly. However, although the genesis eumlators copy over correctly, none of them seem to be able to find the roms in my GENESIS directory. I've tried both zipped and .smd files. The files were also copied via a usb SMC reader. I'm stumped - any help would be gratefully recieved!
Help! Genesis Emu's Can't See Genesis Directory

thank you for the reply! i've tried rescanning, but sadly DRMD never seems to find anything. Fgen seems to freeze while searching.

Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal
get the newest versions from the gp32 file archive and follow the instructions in the readme's.
Both Emus are the latest versions and i've folllowed the instructions for each. Gigadrive seems to work though.

Your GENESIS folder is definitely in GPMM?
Have you tried unzipped roms?

I first tried it with a load of roms, but i've since tried it with a small number of roms. I've also tried with a small number of zipped roms and a small number of unzipped roms. The Genesis folder is is in GPMM - giga drive is able to see and Roms that the other emulators are unable to find.

Format and try with just one rom.
Thanks for your help everyone! I formatted the card, but for some reason it still fails to find the roms.

I don't want to sound harsh but this must be something that you are doing wrong.
Re-read the readme and make sure you are doing all the steps well (specially check the "easy" steps).
Are you using GP-Manager or Pc-link to transfer roms? If you use GP-Manager just delete it and use Pc-link or a card-reader.

Thats what i thought, but i really can't find anything. The main fxe file is in the GPMM directory, the ROM file is in GPMM/GENESIS. This appears to be all that it asks for. Also, Gigadrive works fine and can see the rom file. Im confused

I had pretty much the same deal. ok. make sure your roms are under a folder labeled genesis. (i always stick everything in the c drive. It always seems to show up there. now go up to the upper right square under gpmm. highlight or click the dr md folder. then just drag the genesis folder from the bottom to the top and stick it right into dr md. it should do all the work for you.
Ok, i'm a little confused. I thought you just had to have the GENESIS folder in the GPMM folder? what should the directory structure actually look like, sorry?

I think you might have a bigger problem and your already ahead of the advice im giving you but here goes anyway. I had problems adding roms and shit to preloaded apps, dr md and little john but what i did was just load the two back on there (stuck it in gpmm) and then stick what I wanted in there. But what I had to do was reformat my smc and THEN highlight the dr. md, then drag the folder (CALL IT GENESIS) with all my roms into it. try that.
