Can I play Sonic CD on Gens?

Well with the new BIOs it just takes me to a different sound text screen. When I first see the BIOs screen it says SEGA and says press start. I press start and it takes me to a sound test screen again, but the layout of it is different this time. Perhaps I'm not doing the right thing in the BIOs logo, or maybe my CD is messed up...

Maybe your CD rom drive it's not supported, or ASPI its' not correctly installed.
I'd try to make an ISO as the_g_ghost said, but with CdrWin, CloneCD, Nero, etc. Those are shareware and great programs. Please use google for get them. Use the image creation option from these apps.

i cant play cds on Gens either
i had to make an ISO to play sega cd games

and CDRwin comes with its own Aspi drivers
weather or not these are the right ones i cant tell

Horay! I finally got the game running! But there's no music and minimal sound effects. Could someone please tell me how to fix it?

JUST PLAY WITH THE SOUND SETTINGS
THE SOUND WORKS FINE ON MY COMPUTER

THE SETTINGS SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

IF THEY ARE ALREADY SET LIKE THAT THEN TRY DIFFERENT SETTINGS REMEMBER
OUR COMPUTERS ARE NOT THE SAME DIFFERENT SETTINGS APPLY TO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS

you can just call me ghost for short (the_g_host=the ghost)

How did you make it work? From ISO or CD?

Afaik you previously can listen the music but not play the game, now you can play game but not listen to the music... :wacko:

I've never had a problem playing a ISO+MP3 rip of the game I have in Gens

Yup, but ever it's better a the real CD or a cue-bin, because of imprecission of mp3 format.

Horray

Ive figured it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i did some research and found out that the version of soniccd that i have is the BETA510 (very rare) the first sonic cd version(i think).
forget using the CD, you have to use the ISO format.

You have to find the soundtrack mp3 files on the internet(make sure that they are for version of the game.if you have the beta, then you need the beta mp3 files)and rename them accordingly.

If your Iso image is named soniccdb.iso then rename the mp3 files soniccdbxx.mp3(xx=track number) (example take track 2 and rename it SONICCDB02.MP3(IF IT IS A SINGLE DIGIT TRACK THEN MAKE SURE TO PLACE THE "0" INFRONT OF THAT NUMBER)

Once you have renamed them correctly create a folder and name whatever you want to name it and place sonicCDb.iso into that folder place then place all of the renamed MP3 file inside that folder also (the beta version has 32 tracks)

now run Gens and select OPEN ROM and find the directory with the ISO and MP3 files inside them select sonicCDb.iso and click on open
(remember the mp3 files have to be in that folder also for the music to play)

I know this works because i tested it myself with both the beta and the US final versions

if you have questions about this method than PM me
