I doubt the built-in sega CD emulator is accurate for anything, but the cartridge game rom data is usually all good like said. It probably doesn't store saves the same way but I don't know when that difference would make an impact. I also don't know how to get it to work with lock-on stuff like Sonic & Knuckles but there might be a way.
It doesn't just emulate the disk, it emulates the whole thing. The sega CD has its own CPU, RAM, etc and can do things the base console can't. That's different than a regular ODE like they have for the Saturn. Phøde is supposed to be more like a regular ODE that you use with a real sega CD, if they ever finish it that is.
I haven't seen any evidence for mega ED pro being hardware accurate.
Anon, the last line of your post should have been
Suck my dick, get a life
So that your schizo post would spell breasts vertically. Since you mention it though, it's kinda sad that people pay so much just for an emulator.

Wouldn’t work on real hardware if it wasn’t at least somewhat accurate
In what way anon?
It’s accurate as in it plays the rims as a real cartridge would
CDs seem to work without skips or audio quirks though it probably loads faster
My ED64 plays NES games using an emulator but I don't go around telling people about how it's such a great NES flashcart. It isn't.
It is a good N64 flashcard though.
I bet you thought that was smart
It isn't, it's not even comparable
The Mega CD needs to use the Mega Drive to play games, otherwise it would have video out on the Mega CD itself
>it's not emulation because the device being emulated is dependent on another device to output video

Is the Mega EverDrive PRO hardware accurate?
For genesis games, it's just a rom loader. If you're talking about Sega CD or SMS, i cant vouch, i never tested them side by side and went turbo autist, but im fairly confident it's just as good. If you have a genesis, i'd highly recommend it.
Just know it still needs a real 32X to play 32X games though

The 32X has it's own video out moron
If it worked like you say then it should work without a 32X but guess what?
it doesn't

mega cd and 32x both process graphics and are both reliant on the base system
just because the console is functioning doesn't mean it is processing the game accurately

Not really true, just because the game runs on real hardware does not mean it's 100% accurate. Not that I am saying it's not either, just that "it runs" is not a valid way to gauge accuracy.
The 32X has it's own video out moron

it doesn't
The video out means nothing, the SegaCD had it's own audio out after all. The 32X cannot function without being connected to a Genesis. And I don't mean the whole "mixes the video of the genesis" thing, I mean it can't run anything at all if you try it standalone, it's dependent on the Genesis to run even it's own code. So not really a good argument to make.

correct, because the SEGA CD processes its own audio

My point was that the Mega Drive can't push through graphics that are processed on an external chip

What about the $100 extra nes emulator in the everdrive N64 x7? How accurate is that thing? I'm looking for an authentic nes experience but all I have is a N64 and $200 spare change unfortunately
Isn't there a raspberry pi inside a famicom cartridge that you can stick in the slot and it runs video out the back of the console kek. I think that's a thing you can buy for real
>accurate
it either feeds the console the game rom or it doesnt
yea but is it accurate tho
This is all a game cart does at the end of the day.
It does have to accurately reproduce any enhancement chips or mappers if those are supported.

I’m sure it’s as accurate as any other ODE
It has scaling chips. Are you telling me those scaling chips are hardware accurate?
Lmao imagine actually caring about that.
well what's the point in buying one for over 200 bucks if it isn't accurate?
you'll care when I scale my wiener into your ass

To process the discs data
I see what you are trying to do
This is another bait FPGA gotcha isn’t it

It's not that simple when you have games with enhancement chips
Also there is the whole SegaCD FPGA emulation thing

lol
SF2 was 24 megabit for comparison
In what way anon?

Roms*
The hardware is already in the Genesis. The flash cart just feeds it the rom. This is like asking if your classic Sonic 2 cart is "hardware accurate"
It emulates the entire sega cd system. It's an emulator.
And it works in conjunction with real hardware, therefore it's accurate
You mean partially accurate.
So you agree, it's accurate
glad that's settled
Imagine paying 220 dollars for partial accuracy.

Is the master system a fpga emulator too?
it emulates this
Yeah, there isn't much to emulate, basically just a bus, the genesis itself does all of the lifting.
No wonder there were so many backports and releases so far into 90s, it was all just to please avant garde owners of this
When do we get the flashcarts that lets us solder all of the chips onto it
