Homebrew developer Notaz today unleashed the initial release of PicoDrive for PSP, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. The author notes that most Genesis games are running full speed in this release. Certain Sega CD games will not run well but speed can be improved by enabling frameskip.
[blockquote2]This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for PSP, but with Sega CD / Mega CD support. Although it has been originally written having ARM CPU based devices in mind, it has now been ported to PSP too, by replacing ARM specific parts with portable C code. The base code originates from Dave's (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville's Gens.
[/blockquote2]For detailed installation instructions and how to prepare your Sega CD games for use with the emulator, refer to the included readme file.

PicoDrive for PSP released - Genesis/Sega CD Emulator for PSP [DC Emu]
 
I was wondering when he'd release that. Someone had pointed me at PicoDrive when I first started work on my own SEGA emu, and the author PMd me to request I not work on it because he was. I hadn't really planned to, so that was easy enough to agree to. :)

This will make a lot of folks happy. :biggrin:
 
It REALLY works well - makes DGen look like a pile of c--p. :biggrin: Even plays the SEGA CDs really well. The main three CDs I play are all full speed.
 
Indeed, this emulator is awesome. Runs Castlevania: Bloodlines at a smooth 60 FPS :D
 
Oh..my... god.. this dev finally was able to make the PSM sound go properly in sync and retain full speed! YAY! This is a keeper! Bye Bye DGEN and PSP Genesis. You've just been replaced.
