You probably need to register an account in order to upload files.

I have, megamaced

Also, if possible, can you rebuild the m4.2 package with the above patch for "Load Config" / "Save Config As"?

Will do

Oh yeah, I forgot that Sonic Retro required admin validation before you could upload anything to the Wiki. Your account has been approved, so you should be able to upload it now.

Is there any way to make Gens/GS play the audio tracks from Sega-CD games when loading from cue/bin images? When I load the cue-sheet file the game doesn't run (black screen) and when I load the bin file it runs but without the cdda tracks =/

BIN/CUE isn't fully supported yet; however, since Physical CD-ROM support works, you can use cdemu to create a virtual drive and mount the BIN/CUE that way. Once you have cdemu set up, change the CD drive in Gens to the virtual drive (e.g. /dev/scd1), restart Gens, and then select File, Boot CD.

@ GerbilSoft
i don't mean to be repetitive or be a pest, but i asked this before:
could you also look into implementing gens32's improved audio options in gens/gs?

I'll take a look at Gens32's audio options and see what's useful.

Right now, I'm finishing up the m5 release. The major new feature in m5 is integration of the Windows build into the same codebase, but there's also lots of bugfixes in the core code and the GTK+ UI.

I missed converting a few NULLs to "" when converting some functions to use C++ strings. Apply this patch to fix the problem:

Patch should be in the source directory and you need to run patch with -p1 since there's a leading "a" directory in the file path (patch maker used this to separate old code tree from new).

patch -p1 < gens.patch
(or whatever you called it)

Or just do what I did: open the file in a text editor, go to those lines, and change NULL to ""

[megamaced]

Doesn't work. The patch doesn't patch. I'd love to be proven wrong.

@GerbilSoft - I'll get the deb uploaded to Sonic Retro later. Been crazy busy over the last few days

I've released m5, but since I can't edit the first post in this topic, I'm going to start a new topic.
