Problems with the Mega CD ISO files on the KEGA emulator.
« on: October 09, 2009, 07:21:34 AM »
I got some new ISO files of japanese Mega CD titles to try out, and NONE OF THE MUSIC WILL PLAY ON ANY OF THEM. WHY IS THIS? And how do I fix it?

EDIT:Oh yeah, another thing:Some games like Devastator and Earnest Evans wont even LOAD past the screen that says Produced by or under license from something something Sega Enterprises, and the Sega logo under it.

yes but what BIOS file are you using for the Sega CD emulation...

if youre playing Japanese games you have to have a Japanese BIOS file setup in the config

I have a japanese bios file. The games play, but they don't play the music.

I've never played an iso before, but did you convert the mp3 (or whatever format) tracks into wav files first?

Yes, and it's STILL not working. What am I doing wrong?

I'd guess that your rips are of dubious quality (the mp3s are a dead giveaway), and the cue file is off.  Is there anything for MegaCDs similar to NightWolve's TOC Fixer?

Why don't you try buying a real Mega-CD game and ripping it to test?

Make an individual folder under roms folder for the game. Put the ISO and the MP3s in that folder, you don't change them to wave. Make sure the tracks are labeled like Example:Final Fight.iso, Final Fight02.mp3, Final Fight03.mp3 etc... The name of the iso and mp3 files has to match. Final Fight.iso and FinalFight2.mp3, Final_Fight-02.mp3 won't work if the iso is named that way. Are you using KEGA Fusion? That is the best one.

Actually it's probably your .cue file.  If you've converted the mp3s to wavs, then the cue file is certainly wrong.  You could edit it manually, or get SegaCueMaker to generate a new one automatically.

You don't even need to use .cue. Just load up the iso and the mp3s will play as long as they are named the same way as the iso.
