Hi All Could anybody get Sega Master System to work? I can’t find any RetroArch cores for the GS ([https://buildbot.libretro.com/](https://buildbot.libretro.com/)) , but see there is one for RetroArch itself - ([https://docs.libretro.com/library/emux\_sms/](https://docs.libretro.com/library/emux_sms/)) I’ve not tried it, BUT assume it won’t work? Any thoughts? ---

There possibly isn’t one specifically for sega master system, since PicoDrive runs them. The Picodrive core is actually one that does a lot of Sega consoles! It’s a bit messy, but you can actually just put your master system roms in the same directory as your megadrive/genesis/gamegear/sega cd/32x/pico etc roms. > **[Sega - MS/MD/CD/32X (PicoDrive) - Libretro Docs](https://docs.libretro.com/library/picodrive/)** > > This is RetroArch's document page, modification or development information outside of this repo may be incorrect.

Ah! I have PicoDrive, I’ll add the file extension to config file 😃 Much appreciated @javelinface #staysafe ---

Yeah! Picodrive should come on the stock 0.5 image. Ooh good idea re: adding more extensions! I shall do the same with my custom images and configs! ---

Hold off for about an hour! I accidentally overwrote the action.config file of PicoDrive with PCSX while doing some editing! It will be worth the wait! ---

Is there any other emulator except the RetroArch that can support [Master System ROMs](https://www.romspedia.com/roms/sega-master-system) on PC? I don’t want to waste my time finding codes or cores for RetroArch just want some simple emulator to install load the game and start playing. ---

Woah you might wanna remove that link. We all know what Roms are, and where to get them if we need them. Just … probably better to you know, not have them up here as a link. Also, for PC? You do mean… Gameshell, or Devterm right? There are certainly plenty that aren’t Retroarch, however if you have trouble using Retroarch, there’s a very high possibility you might have trouble with a standalone. You might be able to get support here, but keep in mind that this is a clockwork Pi forum. There are no doubt dedicated forums for PC emulation. I could just imagine things getting very cluttered and disjointed if people started doing things like asking for PC emulator support in a clockwork thread. Check here for a list: [http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Master\_System\_emulators](http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Master_System_emulators) I can’t really help any more than this, since a) I don’t actually ever play master system, b) don’t use a PC for emulation and c) have never used any of the aforementioned emulators. Good luck! ---

the more those links get shared… the faster they get taken down…
