green check?

[zartan9]

HI I downloaded and seemingly set up emuhawk to run saturn (a downloaded file works) but when i tried a different file I got error

so i researched a bit and it said the firmware should have a green checkmark. How to set that part up?

i'm using version 2.11 (x64) and ran prereq first but i am new to this thank you.

Checkmark is now star, your BIOS is fine.
Your rom seems to have been loaded as DOS instead of Saturn.

SATURN_GAME_1767573415729.zip is there a way to fix? im so new to this sorry.

It may be that our heuristics aren't good enough.

At this step, isIso is true:

BizHawk/src/BizHawk.Emulation.DiscSystem/DiscIdentifier.cs

Line 200 in b8a2b42

if (isIso)

...but sysId is empty:

BizHawk/src/BizHawk.Emulation.DiscSystem/DiscIdentifier.cs

Lines 224 to 225 in b8a2b42

	if (sysId == "SEGA SEGASATURN")
	return DiscType.SegaSaturn;

Hardcoding DiscType.SegaSaturn causes it to load in Saturnus, but it boots to the BIOS with the message "Disc unsuitable for this system". Is standalone Mednafen able to run it?

its not working on other emulators too. gotta keep trying though thanks!

Our heuristics are probably fine. I'm guessing this is just some junk development disc, probably only usable in development Saturn consoles and not retail consoles.
