Sega CD ISO's and Go!Zilla

[PupilEX]

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, but I do have a very big question.

I've been at this for a while, but, I can't get it to work. Well, Apparently, you can't use Sega CD ISO's with "Gens" unless you
use a Download manager such as Go!Zilla. In other words, the ISO won't work unless you download with it, (or DAP which i don't know where to find). Any how, I just want to play Sega CD!

But like it says, those ISO's don't work when I download them regularly. I've tried Go!Zilla, but I can't seem to get it to work. It keep downloading "download.cgi" which is totally usless to me.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me get this working.

Here's what I've accomplished so far.

The Sega CD US Bios V. 2.0 is in place and working fine. So all I have is that Sega CD intro that brings back so many memories!

That's all though.

If anyone can help me get these ISO's working, in any way, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm also wondering if I'm better of burning these ISO's or not.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance.

I've downloaded several SegaCD Iso's without using a download manager, and they've all worked for me.... It's rather odd that the download program you use would make any difference, and in fact I'm positive it doesn't.
As for the rest, I'm afraid you'll have to be patient, and wait for someone else with a bit more knowledge on the subject to help you.

oh ok.

It DOES say to use a Download manager on this very website. In the Sega CD ISO section.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Right, and your comprehension skills are lacking, apparently. See, it suggests you use a download manager to get the games, and not to use them with the emulator. See, the emulator would have no way of knowing just how you downloaded the games, and thus it makes little difference how you get them!

[PupilEX]

Actually, on the Sega CD ISO Page
http://www.emuparadise.org/roms/segacd/

it says, and I Quote

"You must use a download manager such as DAP or Go!Zilla to download these files, or they won't work!"


Thanks for replying again tho.

It means that if you don't download them with a manager, you run a greater risk of coming across errors which may cause the file to come out messed up.
The method you use to download a game doesn't make the slightest bit of a difference as far as compatibility with the emulator goes man. Not a tiny bit of difference....

EDIT: At any rate, I hope someone comes along soon enough to help you with the rest of your troubles, and I hope at least this much is clear to you at this point...

[PupilEX]

oh ok. Thanks.

But, How do I get these ISO's working on Gens? They won't work for me.

the Bios loads, but not the game.

Thanks for clearing that other part up though.

Well, It's been awhile since I've used Gens, so I'm not really too sure. I'll look into it and get back to you later.

Are you trying to play the game using the download.cgi? Or did you get a .rar file? :\

[PupilEX]

LOL, Of Course not, It's the Rar File I can't run, and it unzips it self into many files for the ISO. So unzipping it won't work. I can't run the .rar file on it's own with gens. That's the problem I'm getting.

Thanks for replying though.

And thanks for lokking into it Cyberxion.

I will get the thing working for you with a bit of time but I need to know what files you have first so tell me exactly what files do you have including there extentions, please

Edit.. I'm talking about the files for your CD Image by the way

[PupilEX]

Well, I'm Trying to get Popful Mail, Sonic CD, EarthWorm Jim, Sewershark, maybe others in the future, what i really want to know is how to do it, but if you could help me get them working that would be great.

Well, right now I only Care about Popful Mail, and Sonic CD.

so here's what's in "popful mail(usa)-iso.zip has inside.

POP.RAR
POP.R00
POP.R01
POP.R02
POP.R03
POP.R04
POP.R05
POP.R06
POP.R07
POP.R08
POP.R09
POP.R10
POP.R11
POP.R12
POP.R13
POP.R14

And each of those have their OWN files in them, ....

I wonder if I just run POP.RAR if it will unrar the nessesary files and it will work... well, I'll go try that now, but incase it doesn't I'll post this anyhow.

Thanks

hmm, doing that actually booted up the game, but unfortunately it froze at the Sega Logo.

[Cyberxion]

That's more a problem of compatibility then anything. I have the same problem when I try to run Popful Mail.

[PupilEX]

hmm, I tried Sonic CD and it ran fine untill the point where where Robotnik is holding a sign saying "RAM Cartridge is not initialized. Use options screen to initialize RAM cartridge."

I wonder what that means? Any one know?


Thanks
