Well, bad news...
I went through the start of book two, skipping the anoying freeze by checking "perfect sync" in Fusion.
I then whent to the first battle, cast egress, saved, went where the .brm file is stored on my PC, copied it where the original .brm file was in my android device, and I get this message "Backup RAM cartridge is not initialized. Press reset and go to the control screen to initialize".
I don't even know what this control screen is or how to find it

Re: Book 2 freeze. no perfect sync option
Hello alex_man.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I play on an android device ^^
In the meantime, I went to cry for help on reddit, and one guy found out why Retroarch crashed
But Retroarch is just awfull. So I managed to load the brm that I had created with md.emu into retroarch.
Now I just have to avoid the freeze in retroarch; save, and load back in md.emu
Thank you all for your help ♥

So now it works.not all emulators use the same BIOS.
According to this link, the US BIOS needs to be named bios_CD_U.bin.

Thank you all for your help ♥

You can say that again, Bambix, Retroarch needs to take a master class in usability and UI design.Bambix wrote:So now it works.

I'm glad you found a way around it, even if it is extremely troublesome.
It all boils down to the sync issue, really. Every emulator should have it by default, considering the hardware that exists today, it shouldn't be costly resource wise to implement as a norm, rather than the exception.

Re: Book 2 freeze. no perfect sync option
Sorry for the necro...hope someone sees this.
Just finished book 1 on MD.Emu, loaded up book 2, cont. w/ my save from book 1. Obviously it freezes and MD.Emu still has no perfect sync.
2 questions now...
1) Where do I find my BRM for MD.Emu so I can load it into retroarch
and
2) Where does retroarch save so I know where to put said BRM
Bonus question....Pico or Genesis on Retroarch?
I had a completely empty day to play this today and i've been stumped for hours trying to fix it
