2017.01.10 官方的MD模擬器，歪果人大掃除時翻到的，有興趣的人可以燒出來在DC上跑看看。 "Official Megadrive Emulator For Dreamcast Discovered" Megadrive/Genesis emulation is nothing new on the Dreamcast, and Sega even went as far as releasing an official emulator (of sorts) with the Sega Smash Pack compilation that was only launched in the US. Since the death of the Dreamcast, various emulators have sprung up, some of which were based on the very code found on the Smash Pack GD. It's a really cool story and well worth checking out if you have the time. It appears that there was an alternative Megadrive emulator being worked on as a joint venture between Sega Japan and Sega Europe, and - like most stories about vapourware - this has never been substantiated with hard facts. Mentions of PAL versions of Sega Smash Pack with a better and more varied library, twinned with superior emulation can be found in Dreamcast magazines of the era but nothing concrete has ever been seen. Until now, that is. https://goo.gl/VYOszj This is all thanks to a Dreamcast fan called Comby Laurent, who recently found a mysterious GD-Rom in a bunch of discs he acquired. He posted a short video and a few images on the Dreamcast Junkyard Facebook group and I recognised the Megadrive emulator as the same one I had played when I visited an ex-Sega employee some time ago to record footage of the unreleased Take the Bullet and Colin McRae Rally 2.0. I did record some video of the emulator back then, but my MacBook went into meltdown about a week later and the footage was lost. https://goo.gl/3gU8sE https://goo.gl/W42lO8 As I said, I instantly recognised the interface and the list of games as being the same emulator that I had played all those months ago (the two different versions of the disc known to exist are shown below), and I've since had it confirmed to me that the project was an internal thing and wasn't (at the time) intended for public consumption. Whether the emulator was destined to be turned into something along the lines of a commercial 'Megadrive Collection' like the ones found on more contemporary systems is hard to tell, but one thing is for sure - the presentation and front end is far, far more professional than anything you've probably seen in any home-brew emulators. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. Comby and I confirmed that this thing is the real deal, and since then he has done far more digging and even spoken to some of the people who worked on it to confirm authenticity. https://goo.gl/uZUHRv https://goo.gl/FTfRFM So, here it is. A Dreamcast Megadrive emulator made by Sega Europe and Sega Japan, which has a super-slick front end, a ton of options (50/60hz, the ability to change console regions, controller configurations, VMU support) and a huge list of 175 roms that spans multiple genres. The emulation is hit and miss in places, and some games will completely lock up the emulator (the infamous Virtua Fighter vs Taken 2 being one of them) and there's a load of odd tech demos on there too. The roms appear to be baked in to the emulator so I'm not totally sure how (or even if) the rom list could be removed or changed completely, but that's not really my area of expertise. Indeed, Comby has expressed that the sole reason for releasing this emulator to the wider community is to give amateur developers the opportunity to tinker with it. "I wanted to release this to preserve the build. I release all of the games I find in order to preserve them. If some amateur developer can take this software and create an even better Megadrive emulator for the Dreamcast, then that's great." https://goo.gl/l6Hj5w https://goo.gl/pxprj1 Thanks again to Comby Laurent for releasing this to the internet. The files can be found at the link below and there's a video below too showing the emulator in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2HZCzWQ6RY

It's probably worth noting that the Megadrive Emulator was ripped from the original GD-Rom using the 'ISO ripper' function found in Dreamshell, and as such works perfectly with an SD reader. That's how I was able to record this footage and if you need assistance with burning to a disc it's probably worth joining our Facebook group and asking the fine, knowledgeable folk there. You can also find some further info on this emulator by checking out the Assembler games thread on it. You can download the Megadrive emulator ISO via this link (https://goo.gl/3qbdee). The file has now also been archived over at Hidden Palace so you can get it there too.
