Description
 
You probably stumbled over some ROMs which didn't work on either of the emulators. That might be because it is really a corrupted file - in that case, no patch on the world will help. The other possibility is that the game uses a special Genesis feature which isn't supported by the emulators yet. The patches which are available on this page will make those games run on the emulators.

The patches are in the IPS format. To apply them to your non-working ROM, you will have to follow these steps:
1) Convert your non-working ROM to BINARY format using Megatool.
2) Apply the patch using Segatool.

Or, if you want to do it the convenient way, simply use the Genesis Launchtool made by Felipe Schnak.

After that, you should be able to play the game in your favourite emulator.

If anyone has some patches to contribute, please contact me, and I will put them online.

Requests
 
One of your favourite games does not work on the emulators? Well, if this specific game has been dumped correctly, chances are high that a patch can be written. Simply mail me the name of the game which you want to see running, and I'll mention it here. Some well-known Sega-lo-maniacs visit this site, and if we're all lucky, they may show some mercy and patch those games. :-)
