Hi guys,
I've just acquired a Mega CD and have become aware that I can play backup games burned onto CD-R's. I've done my research into how to do it and have been up to this point unsuccessful in getting them to play.

Can someone give me an idiot proof step by step guide to getting them to work?

The problems I have had up till now are as follows :

Saturn region changer that I was told will work with Mega CD images will not work.

Mega CD region changers will not work on win 10 64 bit.

I do not know how to change regions of.cue files, all the guides only tell me how to change regions of iso's.

This is as far as I have gotten! Not even started on converting audio yet! 😞

Thanks in advance

This is what you're looking for:

how update rest of help under
http://www.retrocollect.com/News/custom-sega-dreamcast-bios-replacement-in-development.html

http://www.zophar.net/utilities/segacdutil/convscd.html

If using legitimate discs, you have to install a new BIOS in the Sega CD and install a region switch in the Genesis.

for new bios write : sega cd bioses

Yeah thanks for the help guys, however none of these articles help me with the issues I've had. The guides give you instructions on how to change ISO regions but not how to change the region of a CUE file.. Also, how do I get the convertors to work on Win 10?
