So it's best to just rip the game yourself, whenever possible.īreetai wrote:Anyway, I think the point is that if you are using emulation, you are seriously missing out on how the game should be played. You can download a BIN/CUE image, but that doesn't mean some one didn't convert that from an ISO+mp3 image in which case the audio is still a lower quality. In addition to that, you never really know what you're downloading. So for all these reason, BIN/CUE is the best way to go for a Sega CD game (as well as many other CD based games, but not all). But you still have to deal with a handful of audio files and a CUE for them. If they left the image ISO+wav, then it might be equal to a BIN/CUE rip. I'm assuming people convert the wav to mp3 to save bandwidth when down/uploading. Also, mp3 is a lossy format, so the audio quality wont be as good as a 1:1 copy like BIN/CUE. This is all fixable, but still a needless problem that you'd have to deal with. The CUE is usually missing, and if it's included it's usually corrupt. What you are usually able to download is ISO+mp3 with a CUE. If you rip a Sega CD game to BIN/CUE, it'll be an exact 1:1 copy of the game.
ISO doesn't have to be inferior, but it usually is. My apologies for giving an inferior ripping format. I don't really use emulators, as it makes you less of a person if you do so. It might even be illegal.īreetai wrote:Good point. You won't know how a game is really supposed to look and sound unless you use an actual copy of the game on real hardware. My apologies for giving an inferior ripping format.Īnyway, I think the point is that if you are using emulation, you are seriously missing out on how the game should be played. But you're absolutely right, ripping it yourself is best. ISO sucks, BIN/CUE is the format you wanna use for a Sega CD game. This is the best way to make sure that it will work.įixed that for ya. make sure you are using an ISO rip BIN/CUE image from a copy of Sonic CD that you ripped yourself. Here is the most important thing that will help you: I've heard the newest one gets better and is almost as good as Mavericks at least.TuckettIII wrote:Hi everyone! New to the community here, and Emulation in general and in need of some assistance making Kega Fusion 3.52i launch ISO's for Sega CD.
Only Mac OS i've disliked more was either 8.0 or 8.6 (can't remember which one it was) that was even worse. And I have 16 GBs of RAM in this thing (and all I ever do with it is browse the internet really, it's not like I'm doing much with it). My computer is a little over a year and Yosemite instantly already made it start lagging and pausing and having issues. Because of stuff like this.Īnd oh yeah, Yosemite sucks ass. But DRM that requires you have an account to use your items (meaning you have to log in at least once in a while) is bad.
Hell, I have no issue buying digitally even full price with GoG cause my biggest problem with digital is exactly shit like this and many other ways you could lose the games you rent on Steam (sorry, but if they are DRMed so you have to have an account to play them, they're rentals). this is why I the few times I buy for my computer I avoid steam and prefer GoG.
This update shit is the long-term death of happiness with Apple products, in general. I don't want to restart all that Poker Night and FTL, no SteamCloud cross-platform support on those.
So do me a solid and please advise me how I can set this Steam install to allow me to forever play my games on this MacBook without having to Boot Camp over to fracking XP where Steam will run fine. My much-newer work MacBook has been a dog since Yosemite graced it, the trackpad options are shit, the full-screen green corner dot is a joke. Last time I checked, Poker Night at the Inventory was never updated to work past 10.6.8. The MacBook is pretty much an FTL and Poker Night at the Inventory machine at this point. Yes I still run PowerPC apps now and then. Logged into Steam on my creaky MacBook today and it notifies me that support for 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is ending November.
