|

- Games are sold on Steam individually or in smaller bundles.
- The Steam version includes both the "Hub" launcher with the "Simple" launcher as a fallback. All non-Steam versions only includes the "Simple" launcher.
Essential improvements
Run in other emulators
- For the Steam version, uncompressed ROMs of the purchased games can be found under
<path-to-game>\uncompressed ROMs
.
Copy Steam ROMs to an external folder for use with other emulators[citation needed]
|
- Copy the contents of
<path-to-game>\uncompressed ROMs and paste to another emulator's ROM folder of your choice.
- Rename
*.68K and *.SGD file extensions to *.bin so that other emulators will correctly recognize and run them.
- Workshop mods are
*.bin files inside folders found in steamapps\workshop\content\34270 .
- External emulators can load these Workshop mods, copy the contents of
32470 to your chosen ROM folder, and rename the *.bin filenames as you see fit to prevent future confusion, then load them with your emulator.
|
Extract *.pak files with QuickBMS (non-Steam versions)[citation needed]
|
- Download QuickBMS.
- Download the Sega Classics script (further down the page).
- Run QuickBMS and choose the Sega Classics script.
- Choose the installation folder containing the
*.pak files.
- Choose the folder to save extracted ROMs to.
- QuickBMS will now extract the ROMs. Press ↵ Enter when done to exit QuickBMS.
- The ROMs are now extracted and named appropriately, ready for use with a different emulator (see Emulation:Sega Genesis)

Issues unresolved
Unable to disable controller
The input settings should contain a checkbox to disable a controller, but the checkbox is sometimes missing: https://imgur.com/DfHsFom
The inability to disable the controller affects Alien Storm. The second controller must be disabled to access one of the game modes.
