help needed.. cant seem to get my Dragon force running... sigh

[scar]

sorry guys, i know this problem is getting old, but ive read and read everywhere on the net and tried all the possible solutions, but i still cant seem to get that game running. when i click on "run CUE/BIN" and load my cue file, the sega saturn screen starts and it stops at the spaceship thingy(the one with the play,stop,rewind,etc. buttons). so how do i go on from there? how do i even access and start playing the game?

- im currently using -

Dragon Force (US) [ bin + cue ]
Virtual DAEMON
Cassini 1.0

i wanted to play this game on a virtual drive and i read that D-tools pretty good for it. so these are steps that i did.

1) start daemon and mount dragon force bin file
2) start cassini ("auto choose CUE/BIN, CD rom region" ticked.)
3) Click on "Run CUE/BIN" and load my cue file

then this is where im stuck.. i dont know how to get the game started.if you know the solution, pls help and thanks.

Cassini it's a hacked version of the commercial and dead GiriGiri project, so bugs are expected. If your CPU support SSE2, you might run SSF which it's currently the best Sega Saturn emulator.

hey there, thanks for the replies. i did try what u guys said. about the cuemaker thing.. but i couldnt find any sound files that were in mp3.. as a result i couldnt make the cue.



guys, i got a feeling maybe my whole procedure of using daemon and casssini is wrong? maybe my cue file is corrupted as well. well i wanna play this game on a virtual drive.. am i doing the right steps?



i changed my bin file to iso and mounted that on daemon. after that i open up the cassini and run the cue file..? by right, the game should have started instead of going to the space radio thingy right? well in any case this is the cue files i have, i heard tat the line of "FILE" like for example "CD.bin" should be the same name as the bin file? or iso... k guys, i just wanna play this game without having to use a cd, sorry for being abit problemactic... but i have been at this problem since yesterday... plus im having less problems with cassini than ssf or sse





This is the original Cue file that came with the game:



FILE "CD.bin" BINARY


REM SESSION 01 ; Not supported by other applications (*)
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM MSF: 00:00:00 = LBA: 0
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 00 62:31:40
REM MSF: 62:31:40 = LBA: 281365
INDEX 01 62:33:42
REM MSF: 62:33:42 = LBA: 281365

REM (*) SESSION directives are unfortunately not properly supported
REM 'out there'. IsoBuster however supports them !



But this is the cue file im using(i downloaded from a forum somewhere)



FILE "CD.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
INDEX 01 00:00:00
POSTGAP 00:02:00

It's much better to got the CUE-BIN, so this is not a problem. Also don't change you CUE-BIN into ISO, just mount the CUE file on Daemon Tools, but I'd use the original one.

The problem is Cassini I think, try other version, GiriGiri od SSF if you can.

mount the cue file on daemon? i thought it was bin file.. nevertheless i get the "unable to mount image: file not accessable" message when i try to mount my cue file.

Perhaps you may try to change the region to Europe (or others) to test it out.

The line where you read "CD.bin" should match with the real BIN file name.

i would just use the newest version of gens b/c cassini is pretty ghetto imho. gens works good. i've played sonic cd on it.im sure it would at least be worth a shot.

We're talking about the Sega Saturn game Dragon Force.
Gens is a Genesis / Mega Drive , Sega/Mega CD , 32X emulator
Cassini it's a Saturn emulator
I think you get the picture

I just started on this tonight so please excuse my newbishness. I have got my bin mounted on dameon but what do I do with my cue? the same thing? I get an error message of some sort when I try to mount my cue. Also I can not run ssf 7 due to the fact my cpu instruction set is only MMX/SSE. When I try to run the program I get a crazy non language with only sse2 visable. So I guess I need SSE2 instruction sets. Is there anyway to update/ upgrade this. Is there any other Emulators out there that can run this game? I looked for info at intel's site but now I am really confused. Do I need a compiler or was I going in a completly wrong direction? So I guess I am asking is there any way to run ssf7 on a cpu with only MMX/SSE and if not can I add SSE2 instructions to my cpu through a download? My E-mail is XxZandarxX@yahoo.com. Any help would be great!
