PSPMaster: Sega Master System/Game Gear Emulator

greg | July 30, 2006

Remember these classic Sega innovations - the Master System console and the Game Gear handheld? Well if ya don’t, here’s a little blast from the past: the cartridge-based Master System, predecessor to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, was released in 1985 in Japan (1986 for the US) during the 8-bit gaming era. In 1990 Sega released the Game Gear in response to Nintendo’s Gameboy. Yadda, yadda, yadda…

Now onto this newly released emulator from [Bo]Trops, PSPMaster - emulating both the Sega Master System and Game Gear! I just gave this a quick test-run and it runs quite well.

The emulator uses the old Marat Z80 emulator by Marat Fayzullin, some parts of SMS Plus by Charles Mac Donald, and is heavylly optimized for the PSP system. PSPMaster is running at full speed without frame skiping when the YM2413 sound emulation is disabled. Please do not change default options if you don’t know what you are doing.

SEGA Master System

v0.0.2b changelog:

  • Game Gear emulation is ok.
  • Some speed optimizations.
  • The analog button can be used as the SMS DButton.
  • Fixed a sound bug.
  • Options menu.
  • Screen shots in gif format.
  • Language file suport.
  • Suport for YM2413 sound chip, but emulation became slow when enabled.

I think the word is “predecessor.”

Always nice to see a new emulator!

aaa: you get the roms in a far away land. in this far away land you will find a cave. in this cave is a map stained with coffee, duck fat, and semen. this map will lead you to the roms.

who ever knows who originally said this owns.

“lol, what good games did the Sega Master System have?”

Actually, quite a few, for those of us lucky enough to live in countries where the system had a decent run. It was more powerful than the NES, but Nintendo’s stranglehold on 3rd parties was a prime cause of it suffering Stateside.

Just a few gems that spring to mind:

Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Basketball Nightmare
Desert Strike
Ecco the Dolphin
G-Loc
Mickey Mouse - Land of Illusion
Paperboy
Phantasy Star
Populous
Prince of Persia
RC Grand Prix
Rastan
Ristar
Secret Commando
Strider
Shining Force - Sword of Hajya (Game Gear)
Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic Chaos
Trans-Bot
Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy in Monster Land

And Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon’s Trap, being my all-time favorite.
