Either post the thing, post an ftp site for it, or shut up.

Had enough of what? Had enough of rude undergrads copping an attitude, and
being rude. If someone has an emulator I would be interested in knowing
some of the tech details, if they know them. If not, and they cannot post
it, which could happen for various reasons, so be it.
So less of this shut-up business. So you are at MIT, big deal, that means
little in the outside world. Some of us are trying to solve real emulator
problems and every bit of information helps, even if it only that someone
has been able to do it, if only partially. The list of games that it can,
and cannot run, would tell me a lot about its capbilities.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about if a sega emulator for a pc can be dome.
Well I’ve not only heard of onne I’ve got the thing and YES it works. Has
rather nasty system req’s. 486 8 megs ram 1 meg VL vid card. But it do in
fact work.

Thank you very much.
I will be posting it soon but as I’m on a shell
acount still and the file is over a meg it may take some time.

As for some tech info. here goes.
in order to use the thing you must build or buy from teh people that made
it an adaptor that plugs into the sega. This alows your PC to controll the
sega and pull the code off teh cartridge and rebuild it in a speacial type
of asembly code file. Dont try and edit this as its not normal asm’ code.
Any how. Once you have the files you type sega-em and pick from the list
of games you have on the disk. Pack a game plug in a Gravis pad turn up
the SB-Pro and kick back.
I think (but am not sure) it will use a normal copier like you can get via
internet. But you may need there ver’ of the thing.
System req’s are as follows.
486.
8 megs ram.
Sound Blaster Pro/16 (No normal SB)
1 meg or better FAST V-L bus vid card.
Thats it but there rather steep.
Scuse my spelling in this as I’ve not slept for a while
(Arrgh. Why won’t the newsreader put the right From: data?)
It’s just that, I’ve seen several posts that say:
"I have a Sega Genesis emulator. It’s really cool."
And then your never see another message from the person again. No product
name, no ftp site, no company name to call, nothing. I believe that a
Sega Genesis emulator is possible, but posts like this do nothing but cause
50 people to post "Where can I get it?".

Ive said this once I’ll say it again. I will be posting the program soon
as I get my slip acount up and running as I dont want to take the timer to
upload then uu-encode then post a 1+ meg file. Bottom line is that its not
worth the time. i will post it both on use net in some sub or other and on
an ftp site. I did not get this file via ftp nore have I seen it around.
Feel free to look for it with archie however.
The file name is sega101.zip if you find it all the better for me.
All I wanted to do was share some information I thought people may like to
hear. All I got was people flaming me via use-nat nad e-mail. So next time
I’ll know better and just keep the info to myself.
Have a nice day.

1. What’s your beef with MIT? The author of the post didn’t make an issue of it.
Why are you? Wait. Don’t answer that – there’s enough garbage here already.
2. I haven’t seen anything at all helpful or useful in any of the Sega emulator
posts. I just see a lot of people bickering back and forth about whether or not it
is possible. I really hate to hear people talk like that. It’s easier than thinking,
which is why there’s so much of it. I agree with the original post: either post
an FTP site or give some source, or stop saying it exists. As for the "is it
possible" posts: drop ‘em. Try it out for yourself and find out. If you want to
discuss emulation issues ("How can this be done", etc) then do it. Stop this nonsense
boasting about programming experience and the similarities/differences between
80×86 and 680×0.

Nah,

I agree with that.

You ever get the feeling this has been elevated to myth status?
on the NEXT Unsolved Mysteries:
A man who went nude sunbathing with the aliens at Roswell
A woman who saw big foot in a washington gym
A man ho say the loch ness monster ice skating.
and some people who have claimed to play a Sega and SNES emulator.

No problem. I have a 486 DX-33, 8Megs of ram, Sound Blaster 16 with ASP,
VLB motherboard with VLB Cirrus Logic Accelerated Video Card and VLB
I/O card. The Cirrus has 2Meg of ram installed if the emulator uses
any resolutions that need it.
No problems.. I know how you feel

Someone mentioned that it was available on wuarchive.wustl.edu although
I looked everywhere and could not locate it. I also used archie and that
couldn’t locate a copy of the program under the filename you gave or
under the many variations I thought up.
So could you ignore all these idiots who keep flaming and still post the
file when you have the time and account to do so.
I thought I would send this as email incase all the flaming had turned
you away from reading the group.
I will post a copy of this in the group for other peoples benefit.

Well, I’ll stand up for him here. Sega101.zip *does* exist; I’ve seen it
(I didn’t download it though). However, I am reliably informed that it
contains executables and data for various italian and spanish versions of
MS-DOS, renamed to things that look as if they might be a Sega emulator.
The things some people spend their time doing really begin to worry me…
