FINALLY A GUIDE TO EASILY BURN SATURN ISOS

Killer of all evil
After a long search in the net i found this guide out.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP CREATING YOUR OWN GAMES TO PLAY IN SATURN.
THIS IS THE GUIDE

On this screens I have used Nero 6, but you may also use another softwares like Alcohol 120% or the freeware CDBurnerXP Pro (you can found here)
For the Nero 5.5 version it's the same thing than the 6 version, but you have to go in the files menu instead of the save menu












You choose the .cue file






You don't choose Track at once but Disk at once
and you burn to a reasonable speed like x16 or x24

OH SHIT I CAN'T LOAD THE IMAGES CAUSE I CAN'T POST ATTACHMENTS,HEY PEOPLE PLEASE LET ME POST ATTACHMENTS JUST FOR THIS POST .

IT'S CRITICAL PLEASE ADMINISTRATORS ONLY THIS POST.

I hope tomorrow i can post with pictures demonstrating the whole thing.

Funny, you can upload it on Photobucket or elsewhere and then try to link it. Just what I did below signature. :)

I remember that i used something like that a long time ago in this forum when i was having problems with my CASTLEVANIA LEGACY OF DARKNESS IN N64,anyway i 've already forgot it at this time.

Could you tell me a step by step explanation of this PHOTOBUCKET?

It's my first time that i hear about it .

Many thanks in advance.

Well then everybody can create his own games or play them in the emulators in this form.

I WISH I COULD POST A HTML LINK BUT I CAN'T CAUSE THE SITE ALSO CONTAINS A LOT OF GOODIES :)

You can find some site selection where you want to upload from here.

>CLICK HERE!<

Some of the sites need registration and some is not required at all. After you've done uploading the images to the web, try to link it as



Good luck trying! :)

I Guess i will use another way,I WILL TELL YOU WITHOUT PICTURES,it's not the same thing , but i guess who really knows something about emulation and ISOS can figure it out by themself.

OKAY HERE IS MY STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION

1)Download the ISO and extract the files,in a directory (for example i will name it DARIUSGAIDEN and i will take this game as an example)

2)After you download the parts of the ISO,you run the.EXE executive file and it will ask you where to extract all the files,choose the directory you just created DARIUSGAIDEN as directory .(Don't forget to put all your parts of the ISO in the same directory)

3)There should be these files

1 TRACKNO1.ISO which in some times is replaced by the name of the game for example DARIUSGAIDEN.ISO
2 TRACKNO2 UNTIL 16 (there may be more but the game DARIUSGAIDEN has only 16.
If your trackno2 until trackno16 files are .ogg or any other file format REMEMBER TO CONVERT THEM IN .WAV FILES,for ogg files is a program named OGGDROPXP ,for others file formats search at www.bestsearch.com
3 THere should be a cue.cue file which is the most important file of the ISO.

Now after you downloaded the ISO and converted the tracks into .wav files,there should be these files

1 TRACKNO1.ISO
2 TRACKNO2.WAV
UNTIL
TRACKNO16.WAV
3 CUE.CUE
and the one you already have,the ogg files

REMEMBER PUT ALL THESE FILES IN THE SAME DIRECTORY(it's better to create a new directory and name it as you like,this is for not making this thing a whole mess, for e.x create a new directory at the directory DARIUSGAIDEN and name it for e.x DARIUSGAIDENIMAGETOBURN)
Copy the files i mention a few rows up TRACKNO1.ISO all .wav tracks and cue.cue file in this folder.DO NOT COPY ANY OGG FILES,THE ISO WON'T BURN THEN ONLY WAV TRACKS AND TRACKNO1.ISO AND CUE.CUE FILE


Okay once you 've done this this is what you should do by using NERO BURNING ROM 6

1) OPEN it and click CANCEL at the first window.
2) Go to RECORDER and under that tab choose BURN IMAGE.

3)When you browse for a file go to the directory DARIUSGAIDENIMAGETOBURN and select CUE.CUE file

4)Okay last step,at the writing method don't forget to check not track at once but DISC AT ONCE,and write the disc at the minimum possible speed.
(STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)

After you burn the file CUE.CUE you should now have a disc which the name is automatically DARIUS_GAIDEN and you should have all the files of that game which are BOSS FILES SOUND FILES and many other files which the ISO doesn't show.


I HOPE THIS WILL HELP A LITTLE AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE AT THE SEGA FORUM which is the forum i like most cause i haven't tried still DREAMCAST AND SATURN EMULATION ,i 've tried everything else.

So people now you know how to make your own SATURN GAMES.
REMEMBER YOUR SATURN MUST HAVE A CHIP TO PLAY THIS GAMES.


THIS IS ONE OF MY GREATEST POST ANYWAY :D

Just tried on several emulators with a game I grabbed a year ago. That's what I could find out.

SSF
Can't run, as it seemed that I don't have both SSE and SSE2 support for my PC. Too bad.

I could only use the older version to run but with no sound.

Cassini
A Giri Giri Saturn hack, managed to run but having some glitch on graphics.

Satourne
Somehow, I don't know what to do with it. Doh!

Saturnin
Good. But it ran on 8 FPS.

Unless you tell me what did you do on Satourne especially for plugins, then I will test them again. :)

I have a post where i am stuck with SATOURNE and no one knows how to handle it,about your question i just CHOOSE THE PLUGINS,SET THE BIOS-ES and the emulator send me some messages i don't understand like

CLOCKCHANGE320 REQUESTED?

Interesting that SATURNIN THING,so how you managed to launch it,in my PC it crashes ,and about that 8FPS thing,maybe you should try a little faster PC,even if you have a very fast,may be it goes to 16FPS,i know it's not a big achievement but it's better than 8FPS,i actually played N64 with 14fps a few months ago,and i was not happy ,but i was not bored either.

So can you tell me a step by step explanation how you've set up SATURNIN?

Many thanks in advance

Hey where to get the older version of SSF ,please a link if it's possible.

But before you mentioned that, I have a weird message which indicates missing file like MSVRT70.dll something like that. Can't do anything about it, even you try to select it and configure a plugin. :eek:

Not really even you have a faster PC, it still resulted like that. Plus there is no much of a problem configuring that, at least you set the BIOS. (And there is a possibility that it needs WNASPI32.dll if I'm not mistaken.)

One more thing, there will in smaller size which can't be in FullScreen.

You can find it from here.

Note : I found the method you mentioned about burning the disc method does not work on my emulator since it failed to detected a Saturn game, only Audio CD. :rolleyes:

Darius Gaiden? Just found out that file is been corrupted, need to grab it again......

So these are all the files of my disc which are a total of 79 FILES and 330MB
The disc according to the files seems correct,and the name is automatically DARIUS_GAIDEN
At least my cd rom reads like this DARIUS_GAIDEN (E:)

Thanks for the link.

Though i don't know why the emu does not recognize this game,it's a bug of the emu you are using
When i burned it like the instructions i had no problem making it.At a real SATURN with a CHIP it works.
I don't know about the emus though.I haven't tried out still.

About that dll file you miss you can get it from www.dlldump.com

You also need the winaspi32.dll for the CD ROM PLUGIN

I am talking about SATOURNE,anyway i am waiting the next version 2.0 which is being prepared to be much better than the actual version.

I don't know what to tell about the BURNING METHOD,just burn a ISO (DARIUS GAIDEN) and tell me if your files of the disc are the same of my disc.

Round 3 reports :
It finally works, tested on Silhoutte Mirage and the other one.

Using.....
SSF 0.06
Saturnin
Cassini

You need to change the region from Japan to Europe to make it work.

Still trying.....
Satourne (It managed to detect, but somehow something weird as it failed to play the game.)

Note : Actually, I didn't burn, only mounting for the first place. You'll never know what would happen unless you make a preparation for it. :)

Totally my fault , i didn't tell here that the ISOS at the site i download were only for EUROPEAN SATURNS,well i am glad they work,at least this is something.Man i will get that 0.06 version and try out just now.

Round 4 reports (Could be final)
Still trying on Satourne (using the older version since the latest one didn't work), no matter how many times I'd try, it'll end up showing 'Loading' sign and freeze in the end. (Using ISO plugin)

I could guess that it is mainly CD plugin faulty that cause all the mess. Anyway though will wait for Satourne 2.0 since I can't use the latest version of SSF which required SSE2. :)
 

leon_belmont

Killer of all evil
I can't use even SSF older version,i got a message which from i don't understand a damn thing,my PC support MMX and SSE which the old version said my PC need.I have the BIOS,i have WINASPI32.DLL,so what the hell is wrong with my PC:mad: ??????

That really sucks man , but i will see what SATOURNE 2.0 has in serve for me.

It's a good thing that this emu ,contiues to develop,i guess at version 3 or 4 it will be a connectix with plugins,at least i hope so:)
