Download

File Who needs it Where it goes
MegaCD_SS_20261024.rbf Everyone _Console on the SD card. Remove older MegaCD_SS_*.rbf.
MiSTer from 20261010-megacd-savestates-r9 Games from disc images (.chd, .cue) on the SD card or the network SD root, in place of MiSTer (keep a copy), or only for MegaCD through MiSTer.ini.
MiSTer_Physical-CD from v2.10.0-megacd-savestates-r9 Games played from a CD in a USB CD drive, with Physical Disc Support SD root, in place of MiSTer_Physical-CD (keep a copy). Tested with disc images only.

Install the core and the Main for the way you play: the two go together. Slots saved with any earlier version still load.

What you get

  • Four savestate slots per disc, kept on the SD card. Save and load also during videos, CD music and loading screens: the CD drive comes back where the game left it. Controls.
  • Fixes for Microcosm, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Ultraverse Prime, Thunder Storm FX (Japan), Flashback and Dune: full list.

New since v0.1.0-pre9

  • Dune no longer gets stuck after a save or a load during its intro.
  • Saving no longer pauses the CD drive, and a save is kept even if you change game right after it (Main r8 and later).

Known limits, every change and the version history: status page.

What was tested

On MiSTer with the r8 Main, from disc images: 68 Dune runs with saves and a load in the intro, none stuck (13 in 158 before); save and load in the 19 games of the standard round; 100 save/load cycles in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; krikzz's mcd-verificator and its CD drive test; slots from earlier versions. The Main for a real CD drive was run with disc images only.
