View Full Version : Kega Fusion's Sega CD Support Is A Pain on Mac OS X

Forgive me if I sound ungrateful here because I'm totally appreciative of all the hard work people put into these emulators and hardly asking for anything back but I am beyond frustrated with trying to get the music in Sega CD games to work properly with Kega Fusion on Mac OS X (Intel). I can play some of the games just fine (i.e. Final Fight CD) but just without music and I'm sorry but without music most Sega CD games are just really large Genesis games. I heard someone mention before somewhere on this forum that the image file has to be a .bin and the audio files have to be .wav. I've tried numerous things like converting .mp3s to .wavs and renaming a file to .bin, editing the .cue file in a text editor, etc. all with negative results. I've never heard a simple explanation of how to achieve this and to most of you it might seem simple but to people like me, the process of ripping files to another disk image, etc. is daunting. I'm no noob to the emulation scene either, been using emulators since 1997. I've played Sega CD games on a PC I used to own before using Gens and I never had a problem. I use a program called Toast Titanium to do all my disk image management. Please save all the comments like "you have to do this on a pc" or "just hop on your pc and do this", some people don't have both and I personally prefer Macs, so please save the flaming. Could anyone give me some advice of how to do this or at least direct me to a site where I could find some info on how to do it? I've already spent hours on trying to get this to work and I'm at my wit's end. Thanks in advance.

The answer is in generating .cue files for your CD images or more specifically the audio files that come with them.

Have a look at This (http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=15239&highlight=sega+maker) thread.

No idea if it works on Mac OSX but it is the solution to the problem. If the linked program is no good I would suggest searching for a Mac equivalent.

Hope that helps.

:D

I appreciate you trying to help but as I suspected, the solution requires me to have access to a PC and (no offense) but contrary to popular belief, not everyone uses a PC. Looks like I'm SOL, thanks for trying anyways.
