Sonic 1 Mega CD Port - with source code. Rom hackers and developers more familiar with the Mega Drive standalone can use the code repository as an example of how to bring more full-fledged MD projects over to Mega CD with as few changes as possible.

Testing with a US Sonic CD in a EUR Case lol

It’s a Optima 6 drive, laser swapped with a Saturn laser. It wouldn’t even spin the disc!

Model 1 sony drive. After hitting the reset button, the disc should stop spinning, and the door opens. Mine still spins a little when the door opens. Any idea what causes that?

[WIP] Traducción al español - SHINING FORCE MEGA CD | Primer vistazo

Thumbnail
youtu.be
12 Upvotes

Muy buenas a todos!!

Os comparto un trocito de otro juego que llevo un tiempo traduciendo al castellano,, espero que os guste y me deis vuestro feedback

Actualizacion 13/10/2026

Esta ya completo al 100% Busco alguien que le apetezca probarlo para darme feedback del juego .
Dejo video nuevo ya se ha corregido los textos, accentos, etc

https://youtu.be/8um5SxW7mDg

🎮 Shining Force CD (Mega CD) ya se puede jugar en español.

En este vídeo, 15 minutos de gameplay con la traducción al español que hemos hecho en Bytechip. Es la versión europea del juego, que reúne los dos escenarios de Shining Force Gaiden: la guerra entre Gardiana y Cypress, y la historia de la Espada de Hajya.

✅ QUÉ ESTÁ TRADUCIDO
• Todos los diálogos y mensajes del juego (más de 2.000 textos distintos), con tildes, ñ, ¿ y ¡
• Narración de la intro y de los finales
• Menús y etiquetas
• Nombres de objetos
• La pantalla de título

📌 QUÉ SIGUE EN INGLÉS
Hechizos, nombres de personajes y de enemigos, y créditos.

🛠 UN POCO DE TÉCNICA
El texto del juego va comprimido con un sistema propio, así que hubo que estudiar cómo funciona, regenerarlo para el español y añadir a la fuente los signos que no existían: á é í ó ú ñ ¿ ¡. Todo se ha verificado ejecutando el propio código original del juego.

📥 CÓMO JUGARLO
Se distribuye solo como parche, sin el juego. Necesitas tu propia copia legal del disco "Shining Force CD (Europe)". Instrucciones en el archivo LEEME incluido.
👉 Descarga del parche: Pendiente de revision completa

⚠ AVISO
Proyecto de aficionados, sin ánimo de lucro y sin relación con SEGA ni Sonic Co. Shining Force es marca de sus propietarios. No se distribuye el juego ni la BIOS, y no se resuelven peticiones de ROMs.

🙋 ¿Has visto algo mal traducido o un texto cortado? Cuéntalo en los comentarios y lo corregimos en la próxima versión.

If you want to convert a MegaSD CD save file for use on MiSTer or Analogue Pocket...

5 Upvotes
  1. Open the .BAK or .SAV file (in the BUP directory of your MegaSD's SD card) in a HEX editor. I just used https://hexed.it/.

  2. Delete the first four characters in the file. In the files I've looked at, it's usually BUP followed by a digit, e.g., BUP3. Your file contents should now begin with a bunch of empty/00 characters.

  3. Delete every character from the 2000 index onwards. Your file contents should now end with RAM_CARTRIDGE___.

  4. Save the file with a .SAV extension in your Saves/MegaCD directory for MiSTer, or your Saves/megacd/common directory for Pocket. MiSTer save filenames should match the name of the ROM, and Pocket save filenames should match the name of the BIOS file (as of this post).

If this is common knowledge that I just never managed to find, carry on and ignore me. After years without a solution and with two Lunar saves locked on my MegaSD, I finally did the legwork tonight and converted them successfully.

Posting this here for the 2-3 other people in the universe that have been in the same predicament. Cheers!

Dusted off the old Sega CD

In the UK but always preferred the NTSC systems, I've recently refurbed my Genesis 2 with a LinkRetro shell, and a Type C mod from Retrosix. Forgot how much I love Sega CD, it's all coming back to me! Any recommendations on titles I should try for someone who's put this into storage for 20 years. This time around we have OSSC and other awesome enhancements over the panel displays of the 2000s

PAL compatability question

3 Upvotes

Hi there! I live in the UK and own a 60hz Region Modded Mega Drive, and I'd love to get a Mega CD to go with it, I know for region breaking the CD You need to swap the bios, but if I did get one, would I need to import JP or US games to get them running at proper speed, or would the region mod and 60hz compatibility allow me to run PAL games properly? Any info on this greatly appreciated, thanks all. :)

What’s up guys. So I’ve been working on my sega cd for repairs and along the way I managed to remove the FL301 inductor.. by any chance can someone point me toward the right direction as to replacing that same part? Or possibly doing some kind of bypass? I highly appreciate the help! Thanks!

I had loose game disc for Spider-Man, Final Fight, Sonic cd, and Dragons lair. So Enigma customs made me case and manual for those. And for the rare insanely priced games that I wanted to play like Snatcher, Keio flying squadron, and Soul Star he did the case, manual and cd
