Changing Genesis/Megadrive Region in GroovyMAME?
« on: May 29, 2018, 06:06:27 am »
Have a few Japanese title I'd like to play, mainly the arcadey ones but can't seem to change the region in the .ini or using any of the tab menus. Is there anyway tochange the region?
Thanks

download the Japanese rom

misunderstood the question, thought he was trying to region change a US rom and have it show the Japanese version like you can do with some neogeo games n stuff. My bad.

You need to run "mame.exe megadrij" for the japanese Megadrive. "genesis" for USA and "megadriv" for Europe.
