Can't mount .CUE files. It's not a naming problem, please help!

I've had this problem for two months and gave up. I really miss my Saturn emulator though.

It all of a sudden stopped letting me mount new .CUE files one day. Whenever I download one now, from any site it's generally only 1kb in size. I'm not sure why it randomly decided to start doing that to every .CUE I've downloaded but it's really annoying. I can still mount the .ISO files if the download has one but they are generally missing sound for me. Please help me fix this problem.

Here's the .CUE opened with Notepad.

Also there are some .Cue files it will let me mount but they are only 2kb and have nothing but sound instead of the full game.

Hmm, I think either you dont understand how this works or you left out info on the post...

Cue files are not rom images, they are instructions for the reading so it knows where the audio is on a bin file. So for every cue file you need the matching bin.

The reason I say this is...

"Whenever I download one now, from any site it's generally only 1kb in size. " - Correct it should be that small, the bin is the large file.

Also iso files for saturn are normally iso/mp3 files. So you need the mp3's to get the sounds. Something is not clear about what you are doing.

I'm really not sure but I used SSF with no problem for months until one day it stopped letting me mount .CUE files.

It won't even let me select .BIN files to mount and some of the roms don't even have one. Basically every Saturn Rom I've ever downloaded came with a .CUE and a .BIN or .ISO

For example, I delete the Shinrei Justasushi I posted here and downloaded it from theisozone. This one doesn't even have an .ISO file. It's just a .CUE and a bunch of .BINS for every track.

Also I've used several mounting softwares including Daemon Tools Ultra and Lite which both worked before.

I think I just got it working actually. It's good now. I had just forgot to reset SSF after selecting ROM location since it's been months since I've used it. Well now I can play Shinrei again so I'm happy. Thanks sir!
