    Default Steam Heart's emulating on Magic-Engine

    Excuse my, if i missed right part of forum.
    I want to play this game (Steam Hearts) on PC Engine CD platform. As i know (and tips on page says) this game can be run on Magic Engine, and some peoples alredy played. But i don't know how use the iso with this emulator. As i read, Engine doesn't work directly with ISO. But i not found the instructions, how can i run game on this emulator. So, may you help and give me a short guide about it?
    /Sorry for mistakes, my english is bad.

    That emu is not worth using.

    There are two great alternatives, Mednafen PC Engine and Ootake.

    Mednafen PC Engine can be ran via Retroarch http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly...4/RetroArch.7z

    Ootake - http://www.ouma.jp/file/Ootake275.zip

    Bios pack for Retroarch - http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/in...Emulator_Files Top link, you must set the bios directory in Retroarch first, put the bios files in the retroarch system folder.

    Regarding your Steam Hearts image is it a Bin/Cue?

    Magic Engine runs from a CD drive or a virtual CD drive like Daemon Tools Lite, you can use either emulated bios or actual CD bios images (the later is a better option)

    The game runs perfect in it

    Up to you as to what to use there are plenty of free options for emulating that system now and Magic Engine is a payed for emulator

    Okay, i'll try to use mednafen. So, i must download first link, then bios pack, and then it will work with iso files Steam Heart's?
    And no, i downloaded SH from emuparadise, and there is a cue/iso files.

    the PC Engine images on the main site should be OK ish.

    There are a few mounting choices other than deamon tools but il just mention my favorite on windows, I personally would not recommend deamon tools.

    http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/

    using that is as simple as right clicking on the descriptor file (cue/ccd/mdf/toc) and selecting "Select Drive Letter & Mount"

    But ist's not bin/cue. Or it doesn't matter now?
    Well, RetroArch is only for 64-bit systems? Okay, another point to reinstall windows again
    (Yeah, I'm still on 32-bit)

    Well, first time i must download the Arch. it's will be next day, i think (my connection is bad, so i can download only morning). I think, anything will be okay, if the ROM from emup was correct (cue/iso file)
    P.S.: And big thanks for help!
