Title: Sega SG-1000
Post by: Disney Rob on March 24, 2020, 02:49:35 PM

First off hope all are well with the Corona virus thing. And getting through the quarantine
Second just tried to get Sega Sg-1000 working through the interface
I am using Kega fusion, and it works well   when I use the emulator as a standalone.
However when I try to load a game through mGalaxy...I just get a black screen
Also all I am getting from the interface is the game name. Not getting any screens, or animations.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Would like to help but unfortunately I can't reproduce your problem. SG-1000 games loading nicely here (mGalaxy v7.6, Windows 10)...so the problem is not coming from the command line sent by mGalaxy

Here the rule is simple:
Based on your rom file name, mGalaxy will try to launch media file named the same way! (for pacman.zip, mGalaxy would look for a pacman.png for bitmap, pacman.mp4 for video)
So, here are all the reasons that would prevent mGalaxy to display media:
- the folder path to media is not specified or invalid
- the media filename doesn't math the rom filename
- the file extension is not correct (.png or .mp4 allowed)

They are the Japanese files. They have the sg file extension. Could this be my issue?
