Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics (PC)

Hello everyone,

I was wondering what category to use when submitting future runs across the SOR series. I currently play on the steam/pc versions, but my run has been re-classified as emu. the PC option has since been removed

Before I submit any future runs I'd like some clarification.

Thanks for your time!

Yeah i've seen people posting on "PC" but the game has not been released on pc. The game you play on steam is an emulator rom on a SEGA emulator for information so it does count as Emulator =)

Makes complete sense. Thanks :)

Hello all. I've just recently discovered this site and the software LiveSplit. I use OBS and Twitch.

I have the Streets of Rage trilogy on Steam and I'm trying to get LiveSplit working with it.

I got it all set up so the timer showed on a live stream but the timer doesn't start counting as I play. It just remains on 0.00

If anyone could assist me with this it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Where is platform PC? in Disney Afternoon collection - PC Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics = emu genesis WTF. PS4 = PS4 Wii = Wii PC (steam) = Emu Genesis... mmm nice.

NeGAtiv4k, you just keep it on Sega Genesis then tick the emulator box. Too many different types of Emulators on PC to list them all.

In PS4 not emulator box? "The game was released for Japan's Virtual Console on May 15, 2007, and then released on North America's on May 21, 2007 and on Europe's on June 1, 2007. The original game was released for the iPhone and iPod touch in April 2011. Streets of Rage 2 is also available on the PlayStation Network. It was published on Valve's Steam platform on 26 January 2011, both as stand-alone purchase and part of the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive Classics Pack 4. On August 29, 2007, Streets of Rage 2 was released on Xbox Live Arcade for the Microsoft Xbox 360 console, featuring filtered graphics and online co-operative play. It was later removed from the service in June 2012 and replaced with the Streets of Rage Collection, which includes all three games of the series " from wiki

There's original console and everything else is emulator. PS, Xbox, Wii, Switch, PC; it's all emulator.

In your logic this would apply to me and all Emu users cause we play on PC too therefore it's PC. It doesn't make sense, we're not playing a game released on PC, it's a Sega genesis rom played by another emulator.

The only flaw this board have is having OG hardware flirting with Emu. It should be separate. The categories goes normally by this :

  • Category 1 (Original hardware) - Category 2 (All emus/Virtual console.)

My logic - add Platform PC because Disney Afternoon collection HAVE too PC and my logic official relise on steam/PSN/etc by SEGA, on all platforms

I'll just quote their words concerning the situation about your Disney collection from the forum post 2 years ago :

Quote "There is no "right way" to do, it's mostly just whatever the moderators and community members decide is the approach they like best or that works best for them."

So yeah, they decided to separate VC only without separating emu in some cases ( Here : https://www.speedrun.com/dt#Any_Afternoon_Collection ) which is not what i want to do.

The only thing that need to be done is to separate Console from this, then PC should make its way to talk about the steam collection and everything should be EMU/VC.

ok, go create platforms Hardware+genesis emu(emulators kega, gens, retroarch etc). PC+PS4+Xbox+Switch and another. i dont know its hard add PC platform because official relise on steam was produced by sega.
