Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I've stuck with Ootake after all. But thanks for your help. 'Double Dragon II' contained a .cue file, and someone suggested I tried to mount it using Daemon Tools Lite. I tried doing that, but the only message I got was: "Unable to mount image. File not accessible."
Any more help please? I didn't realize playing PC-Engine games would be so hard.

Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
The CUE file should have an ISO/BIN or other Cd-Image type file with it..
If the name inside the cue file is misspelled, or the wrong case, or in the wrong location, it will not find the CD image file and mount it.
You can edit the cue file with notepad, or you could try mounting the CD image directly, and bypassing the cue file.
Most people keep the cue file and image file in the same directory, and named exactly the same (except for the extensions of course), that way there is on confusion about where it is located.
So here is an example..
C:\dd2\dd2.bin
C:\dd2\dd2.cue
then inside the cue file, you just have to have it say "dd2.bin", or whatever the extension is, as the filename.. As long as you keep the files together, you don't need to worry about full directory paths or anything.
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I managed to open the cue file with Microsoft Word. I'll PM you the information I gathered.
I mounted the ISO file and it worked. I tried to open it through my CD-ROM, but I got the message: "Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows."
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I'm not sure why that is.. Did you try loading the game from your CD drive inside the emulator? Because that would be your next step.. I really don't know much about this particular emulator so my knowledge isn't gonna be much help from here on..
The info in your PM looks pretty different to me.. It's common to see listings for audio tracks that are on the CD, as it helps them to be accessed properly.
I don't know why Track 1 is listed as an audio file, and then track 2 is listed as an ISO. Usually the image file is listed first inside a cue, then audio tracks are listed, and not even like that.. It could be that Pc-Engine Cd games are handled differently, but here is an example of a CUE file from my Age of Kings CD-ROMCode:FILE "Track-01.wav" WAVE TRACK 1 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-02.iso" BINARY TRACK 2 MODE1/2048 PREGAP 00:03:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-03.wav" WAVE TRACK 3 AUDIO PREGAP 00:02:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-04.wav" WAVE TRACK 4 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-05.wav" WAVE TRACK 5 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-06.wav" WAVE TRACK 6 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-07.wav" WAVE TRACK 7 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-08.wav" WAVE TRACK 8 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-09.wav" WAVE TRACK 9 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-10.wav" WAVE TRACK 10 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-11.wav" WAVE TRACK 11 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-12.wav" WAVE TRACK 12 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-13.wav" WAVE TRACK 13 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-14.wav" WAVE TRACK 14 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-15.wav" WAVE TRACK 15 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-16.wav" WAVE TRACK 16 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-17.wav" WAVE TRACK 17 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-18.wav" WAVE TRACK 18 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-19.wav" WAVE TRACK 19 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-20.wav" WAVE TRACK 20 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-21.wav" WAVE TRACK 21 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-22.wav" WAVE TRACK 22 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-23.wav" WAVE TRACK 23 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-24.wav" WAVE TRACK 24 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-25.wav" WAVE TRACK 25 AUDIO PREGAP 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00
I'm not really experienced with dealing with CD based games though, so this is really out of my element.Code:FILE "Age of Empires II - Conquerors.img" BINARY TRACK 1 MODE1/2352 INDEX 1 00:00:00 TRACK 2 AUDIO INDEX 1 34:02:15
I looked at a Sega CD CUE file for comparison and again it looks different that your cue to some extent.. The .WAV file designations are there, but again it is "called" differently than your CUE file calls its audio files, and also the CD image is the first track, once again..
I hope someone else can help you out with this.. I think its just a question of making sure your CUE is done properly and getting it to boot the CD in the emulator.. You should still be able to see the data in windows explorer though, so maybe this has to do with the Track 1 / 2 issue I noted before with the CD image.. also, you do have those seperate .WAV files in the same directory with the CD image and CUE, correct ?Code:CATALOG 0000000000000 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 01 of 25)[!].iso" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 02 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO PREGAP 00:02:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 03 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 04 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 05 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 06 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 06 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 07 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 07 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 08 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 08 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 09 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 09 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 10 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 10 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 11 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 11 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 12 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 12 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 13 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 13 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 14 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 14 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 15 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 15 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 16 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 16 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 17 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 17 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 18 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 18 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 19 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 19 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 20 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 20 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 21 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 21 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 22 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 22 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 23 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 23 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 24 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 24 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74 FILE "Earnest Evans (1991)(Wolf Team)(NTSC)(Jp)(en)(Track 25 of 25)[!].wav" WAVE TRACK 25 AUDIO INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:01:74
You should give Magic Engine a try, if nothing else just for troubleshooting purposes to see if you can get the same to work. I believe it has support for Cd based games, but haven't used it in a while

Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
Yes, although my emulator doesn't seem to pick it up. It can oly detect ROM images under zip, pce or hes files.Originally Posted by Zach
Yes, there are separate .WAV files. I had a little tweak with the .cue file and changed Track 1 and 2 into this:
I still had the same problem, though. Would you be familiar with somebody on the forums who knows more about CD based games? It would really help. Thanks.Code:FILE "Track-01.iso" BINARY TRACK 1 MODE1/2048 PREGAP 00:03:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Track-02.wav" WAVE TRACK 2 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I've done some research and it seems you may also need a SuperCD System Card ROM in order to play the games.. I'm not really sure how that all works.. But I am in the process of getting a USA CD set (Double Dragon 2 is not in it.. guessing its a Japanese release?) so I will experiment and let you know, hopefully in a couple days, if I come up with anything
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I got Ootake 1.44 and I was playing Magical Chase it plays fine on my PC with 60 fps are you running Vista
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
Vista x64 Ultimate. I haven't tried running magic engine under Vista yet.. haven't found the time to mess around.. But I'm willing to bet the issue isn't really a "speed under x OS" issue. Especially on a Core 2 Duo.
At any rate if it is a Vista issue then that's no excuse for an actively developed emulator.
Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
It's confirmed..
Magic engine runs 100% no problems... No slowdown that isn't part of the actual game. No sound slowdowns, glitches, or anything. Graphics smooth as silk like a hot knife through butter I'll test out CD loading tomorrow.

Re: Double Dragon II on the PC-Engine.
I'm not too sure if I have Vista. What's that?
