Coinops FW ROM Question
« on: June 02, 2019, 10:54:49 AM »
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask about this.

I am trying to add some Genesis/Megadrive ROMs to Coinops Forgotten Worlds.

Some ROMs show up whereas others don't (Rolling Thunder 3 shows up, Robocop Vs Terminator doesn't).

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

It's not exactly the right place to ask, but I might be able to answer it.

If one rom gets added properly, but another does not, the most likely cause is that they have different file extensions, and the extension of the second rom is not defined in the settings.conf file of that collection.

Ah apologies, wasn't sure exactly which forum, thanks though :D

I have a mix of BIN and ZIP files, I was thinking that maybe it was a mix of Genesis and Megadrive files and maybe that was the issue.

Thanks again.

EDIT: I added BIN to the Genesis list and the games appeared, thanks. If a Genesis ROM says it cant be played as it is in the wrong region, is there anything that can be done to rectify it?
