Its not recognising the disk image. Go to 'file' from the Fusion toolbar and select 'Load Sega CD Image' then browse to the Game ISO.

If it still doesn't work then its likely your ISO is no good or you haven't unzipped it. Also make sure its actually a SegaCD/MegaCD game you're trying to run.

An ISo is a digital image of the original game disk. Once you've sourced and downloaded one, you need to unzip it then use the emulator to run it.

You need to use the Sega Cue maker to create a cue file for the disk.

Download it Here.

When you launch the game point it at the cue file that the cue maker creates rather than the game ISO. Your music should now work (so long as the audio files and cue file are also in the folder with the game ISO).

You need to use the CUE maker you downloaded with your disk image to create a cue file for the game. Putting the cue maker in the file won't do anything.

So launch cue maker, show it where your game is then hit create cue file. Put the generated cue file into the folder with your game ISO and sound files, then when you run the emulator and select load sega CD Rom, select the CUE file rather than the ISO.

"Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" displays when i try to open the cue maker.
