did not know that as well, thanx from me too @mitu

@mitu said in Sega CD Game Not Loading - Annett Futatabi:

What's the actual name of the file you're launching (.cue, .chd) ? I think some characters from it might trigger this error in runcommand.

Annett Futatabi (Japan).chd
Annett Futatabi (Japan).cue

I just renamed the file to "Test.chd" and guess what, it boots! Thanks for the help.

@clyde Also, that different emulators for the same system can require different bios file names/versions. (as is the case with lr-genesisplusgx and lr-picodrive)

@theautisticgamer The reason the Past music works is because it's PCM audio (part of the game code), whereas the rest of the game's music is RedBook audio (meaning it's streamed from the CD). Check your .cue file in Notepad or some other text editor, and make sure that your files are named exactly as they appear in the .cue file. It might require the audio be in .WAV format instead of .MP3 format. And if you're trying to run the game from the .iso file, use the .cue file.

Get a verbose log from lr-picodrie - see here how to enable it during startup - and post the log file contents on pastebin.com.

@mortalwombat said in Any SegaCD/Turbografx-16 fans here? Recommendations welcome:

Never really played the PSP and am a bit skeptical to do so if the Pi already has trouble/can't play the PS2

A pi 4 handles many psp games surprisingly well. Even more performance can be gained by overclocking and setting the display resolution to 720p instead of 1080p via the runcommand menu. Some games will require a little frameskipping and others will be fine without it.

@iandaemon I'm in the exact same boat. I think the last new game I finished was Red Dead Redemption.

@tpr said in Question about Multi-Disc Consoles:

Going back to the Sega CD question, what are my current options? Do I just have to have all the discs listed in the rom directory?

Yes, since no SegaCD emulator supports .m3u files at the moment, so you'll have to load the game directly from a disc.

I haven't use .chd files yet. Are a game with .chd format require more processing resources to run, than bin/cue format?

Works a treat! Thank you so much.

lr-opera worked on Lemmings with Player 1 as the mouse, it didn't occur to me to try Player 2 for Sega CD.

I've only had it happen on my 3B+ setup with the lr-genesis-plus-gx emulator. And it wasn't unique to megadrive games. I has some Master System ROMs also do it.

Hope they can resolve this in an update before long.

Case sensitivity INSIDE another file has gotten me multiple times.

@mitu I have been trying to run Flink(U) and Dragon's Lair

@quicksilver thank you, I was going to try that it's nice to have a confirmation beforehand

It is from MAME 0.205 (x64) release.

@Dinsdale The bios for picodrive can basically be copied and renamed to
bios_CD_U.bin
bios_CD_E.bin
bios_CD_J.bin
and then the cd should work for lr-genesisplus-gx.

The audio seems to be baked in with the .bin, this usually will work so I don't know why it isn't.

Maybe the .cue has a line break edit that make it incomplete, and you could try checking for carriage returns with edit+, maybe the emulator accepts them anyways.

Could try searching for a method to separate the audio tracks. extract audio from segacd.

Or try to convert to CHD with chdman; "sega cd .cue to .chd"

@krytern said in CHD games not working for Sega CD.:

Looks like it is a problem with the CHD file.

sounds like you may not have converted it properly.

I downloaded Sonic CD to test ...

Firstly, you need to use CDmage (V1.02.1) to convert the 35 *.bin file tracks of Sonic CD into a single *.bin before you can use CHDMAN

after that you will have just 2 files ..

Sonic CD (USA).cue
Sonic CD (USA).bin --------- which is 587,601KB in size

after running CHDMAN

Sonic CD (USA).chd --------- 329,386KB

which is approx 12MB larger than your 317MB file

Tested it with my setup, and it works fine

You can use iso+ogg for more space (edited with cue files) with games who have many sound track and lr-genesis-plus. Turborip is fine for compress in that format.
Chd is fine too and more easy, but more heavy in general. Picodrive use cso+wav but i don't use it.
