Well, in case anyone has just NOW caught wind of a SegaGen, (otherwise known as the emulator used to run Smashpack) I just want to say don't bother. Here's why, aside from the basic fact that it's in Warez status and thus not supported by the online community.
1) Not self-booting. I know alot you have backup games that require a loader, but this will come into play frequently.
2) Doesn't support all roms. Basically, if Gencyst can't do it, neither can SegaGen. My Experience, anyways
3) Once you do load a rom, you're stuck playing it unless you either open the lid or re-boot. Then, you have to go through the entire loading process again. Annoying and frustrating.
4) IF you use a VGA adapter like I do, good luck getting finding a boot disc that DOESN'T have the ability to possibly fry your monitor. I've #####ed the VGA patch in the archive here, but still no go.
So anyways, in conclusion I hope I've enlighted a least a few fellow newbies out there regarding this, so you don't end up wasting your time on it. Administrators, if I've broken any rules in any portion of this, please accept my apologies, and bear in mind I did this with good intention. Thanks for all the great work.
