Created by TurboCharged Technologies
Thank you for purchasing this program. Please note that the use of
this program is at your risk, and authors may not be liable for
software/hardware compatibility or damages caused by this program.
This program is offered as a freeware from TurboCharged technologies.
You may distribute freely. This program is simply a PLAYER that will read and play SEGA games
play SEGA games on your PC!
But first you must CONVERT your SEGA cartridges to a file! To do so,
you need to order our special KIT, which includes:
- Special PLUG-IN adapter
- Special interface connector
How does it work ? It's very easy ! First, you need to SNAP the
special PLUG-IN mini-cartridge on yur SEGA cartridge, then you
put the cartridge in the machine, as usual. This small adapter
contains ROM code to disable the regular functions of the cartridges,
and instead READ it and convert the signals to digital video which is
then passed through the special cable onto yur PC!
Once the cartridge is in, turn on your SEGA! You should see a message
on your screen telling you to PRESS START to start transfering ! But
before, take your cable, you'll notice on one end it's an RCA plug
and the other end it's a SERIAL connector, and on the cable itself
there is a convertor box! First you plug the RCA plug side on the
VIDEO OUTPUT of your SEGA, by doing this you won't be able to use
your monitor because you will have to use the VIDEO OUTPUT. Next,
you plug the other end into the SERIAL port of your PC! And there
you got it !
The next step is to run SEGACONV.COM provided with this program, then
press START on your sega joystick! And the transfer will begin! This
should take less than 7 minutes! Once it's done, you'll have a file
saved on your hard disk, with the extension .SGA! Filename will be
chosen AUTOMATICALLY according to the game! Once the transfer has been
made, all you do is run SEGA-EM and it will show all the available
.SGA files, you select the one you wish to play, using the cursor
keys, then press return. You'll think you're playing on the SEGA !
This programs has been tested and works 100% with ALL sega cartridges!
It emulates the sound directly on your SoundBlaster, and graphics
are emulated on your VGA card. However, you do need a minimum of 1 meg
VGA or SVGA card.
This program requires lots of work on your CPU's behalf, since the
program has to take care of many details, gfx, sound, etc... Unfortunately
you cannot run this on a 386 with slow vga cards.
Program requirements are:
- 486 DX/33 or DX/2 66 (RECOMMENDED)
- 8 megs of RAM! Why ? Because program creates large .SGA files that
have to load all at once and DECOMPRESSED into memory!
- Very fast VGA or SVGA graphics card with 1 meg. LOCAL BUS video
is required.
- Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 ASP are supported! If you don't
have one of those 2 sound cards, program won't run! Sorry, program
does not support regular Sound Blaster.
- DOS 5.x or higher.
- You must run from a CLEAN bootdisk, without ANY memory managers
like QEMM, HIMEM or any others! The emulator uses its own!
When you run SEGA-EM.COM, you'll see a message "Please Wait" flash on
your screen. You'll have to wait about 10 seconds for the
program to initialise and configure your system. Then you should
see the sega logo along with the voice exactly as if you were using
a SEGA. Then you'll see a menu of all .SGA (SEGA) files on your HD. You
make your selections and press RETURN. What about the SEGA joystick ?
Well this program emulates the SEGA joystick on your keyboard, unfortunately,
due to technical limitations. Use cursor keys, space, alt, A and B keys.
or at ANY time press F1 for HELP!
DO NOT try to edit or modify .SGA files, since they are not PC assembly
language files. They are non-standard files which will look like
garbage when you read them.
PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER
============================
PROBLEM: Program displays "Please Wait" and seems to do NOTHING!
CAUSE: This can have many causes! Program has difficulty autodetecting
and configuring your system, either because your SoundCard,
CPU or VGA/SVGA card is not compatible with this program.
SOLUTION: If this happens on your system, then do a RESET. Then make
sure you are booting from a CLEAN BOOTDISK without ANY
TSR's or other drivers loaded. Then try again.
If problem persists, then, while you see the message
"Please Wait" try pressing ALT-CTRL-ESC and keep your
fingers on the ESC for 3 seconds. This should solve
the problem in some cases. You will be presented with
a CUSTOM CONFIGURATION SCREEN!
If problem still persists, then your hardware is not
supported by the program. Sorry!
