Almost All Cue Files Wrong

I'm padding out my collection at the moment but I'm having to hand-correct almost every single game I download as the CUE files for every BIN/CUE pair has been made very specifically and thus would only work on that individuals machine. Here's an example...

Code:

---

FILE "C:\SATURN\043 PANZER DRAGOON SAGA DISC 2 OF 4 (U).BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    PREGAP 00:02:00
    INDEX 01 52:50:71
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 53:02:24
    INDEX 01 53:04:24

---

For example this CUE file specifies that the BIN file is in a folder named "SATURN" on the root of your C drive. A correct, generic CUE file (that will work anywhere) would look like this...

Code:

---

FILE "Panzer Dragoon Saga (Disc 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    PREGAP 00:02:00
    INDEX 01 60:59:23
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 61:07:60
    INDEX 01 61:09:60

... note the pack of a path. This way it'll assume the BIN file is in the same folder as the CUE file itself (and is named "Panzer Dragoon Saga (Disc 1).bin" obviously).

Not sure who exactly uploads the files but this may be worth keeping in mind in future and act as a warning for anyone wondering why the games don't work. This isn't unique to the Saturn, it applies to every system on EmuParadise that has CUE/BIN pairs available for download by the looks of it (I've seen the same with PSX and PS2).

This is a reoccurring problem with many images from uploaders who don't know any better, I used to go through this hell myself until I was enlightened by superior archiving methods like Redump.

All I can tell ya is if you want a proper dump of a game send me a PM and il try to fulfill it, I have all the saturn greats redumped.

It's from an old set and easy enough to fix if you know what to look out for though still very annoying

Can't say I have seen any PSX or PS2 games with the same issue though, but this is a well known issue with the Saturn set uploaded to the main site

PSX is only a pain for those ecm file and the ecm and ape combos that require converting fully ecm to bin and ecm+ape ones not only need converting to bin+bin or bin+wav but also need to be converted back to a single bin+cue
