Sega Genesis Emulator on AppStore – Sorta

It seems that for Sega, it was cheaper for them to make some sort of an emulator rather than post a game because with their recent release of Sonic the Hedgehog in the AppStore, after some snooping within the files there is a fil called rom.bin and if you replace it with any other Sega Genesis roms it works!

Please DIGG IT

It does not work with most games and Sega only allow the use of d-pad and the A button but games do work.

Some games that have been tested and work are:

1. Sonic 1
2. Sonic 2
3. Afterburner 2
4. Ecco the Dolphin
5. Altred Beasts (thanks to Marco for this tip)

So if you wanna play the a different Sega Genesis game here is how you do it:

1. Rename your Sega Genesis Rom to rom.bin – this will only work if the rom was originally a .bin file.
2. Navigate to /private/var/mobile/Applications/xxxxx-xxxxxxxx/Sonic 1.app and backup the current rom.bin file.
3. Copy over your new rom.bin file and see if it plays.

Here is the AppStore link to the ‘Emulator’: HERE

If you get a game to work, please post a comment so we can keep the compatibility list updated.
