What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? to get the "Tms" bios correctly running

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)? r478

Please provide any additional information below (Video settings, Console region,...) anytime i try to turn them on i get a code dump

Still working fine for me, nothing has been changed in the late revisions.

Please be more specific: when do you get a code dump ? When the option is turned ON in the menu ? When you go back to the game ? When you load a new game ?

Anyway, it might be possible that your BIOS.bin file have been corrupted, try to replace it with a fresh copy.

Nope, it's working fine for me, having your compiled build won't help me figure why it crashes. Just copy the last 2 lines of code that appears when the exception occurs

alright well now its letting me turn on the bios option in r80 but now when i go to select any game of the ntsc-u region im receiving a CD(code dump),well by chance is there a certain directory the bios file needs to be placed in?does the name of the file need to be named a certain name?do it need to be a certain region?a certain file type?

I don't understand your last question.

about BIOS, read the documentation, it's supposed to be named BIOS.bin and placed in the /genplus directory, along with config file and /roms, /saves, etc

if the BIOS file is not a proper genesis BIOS image, wrong thing can happen, yes

Scratch previous comment, the CORE dump shows that the emulator crashes while processing cpu instructions in the ROM program.This happens because the BIOS ROM is not a valid genesis binary image. I will add some proper ROM checks but in the future, you should first read the user manual...
