[MadMan]

Hi

I am totaly new to this so please be gentle!. i have an old Mega CD it says V1.00 in the top left/right of the screen when it boots up and you have to press restart to get it to eject the cd tray. I have just readed the FAQ on how to burn sega cd games with nero . i down loaded the sega cue program i ran it and got the cue working which my nero 6.6 accepts i burn it in my old 4x cd-rom and ive tryed it in my dvd burn neither work. when i used the sega cd program to make the cue all the music for the cd was in mp3 form. do i have to convert it to WAV or should it work as mp3????

could someone help get a game ANY GAME WORKING!!!! as this is driving me nuts!!!

You need to convert the mp3s to wavs with a program called winLAME. Google it.

Did you convert the region of the game you are trying to the region of your hardware?

Also I recomend you first to try a game that is originally made for your region as converting the region isn't 100% (though there is an updated region converter around)

testing with an emu from CD may be a good idea to make sure it has burned correctly to start with

The only thing you can try if you done the above is try a tune the laser of your hardware though I'm not sure how you go about doing that with that system

You can use it to not only identify and properly rename your Sega/Mega CD ISO, but also find out what region it is, and also make a cue file for it.

You said you have a Mega CD console, but you didn't say if it was Japanese or European.
Assuming it's European, then you need games with Europe for their region.
If your game is not for Europe, then you might be able to convert it's region to Europe with this:

Obviously, if your console is a Japanese Mega CD, then you need games for that region instead, and you might be able to patch Europe and US region games to Japan region using ConvSCD.

Heh, that's the exact same advice I gave him in PMs, and yeah, it was a European MegaCD console Also, the latest version of SCDToolz comes with the converter.

Thanks again.

I've been using 3.40, so I didn't know that a convertor was added to SCDToolz 3.50.
I just downloaded 3.50 now though, and I see that he added ConvSCD to it.
