Help Getting Shinobi X to run on SSF Apha and Beta

[blackmanta]

Ok so I got both SSF Beta and Alpha, I got the Saturn Bios files and in SSF options added in EU bios, I have the area code set at Europe, Australia, South Africa, I have the Shinobi X ISO, I've mounted the .cue IMG with Daemon Tools, I start up either SSF Alpha or Beta and it goes through the system intro and then takes me to the Saturn dashboard and in the bottom left it says "disc unsuitable for this system" I know the game is compatible with SSF, I don't get what I'm doing wrong, someone help please. Thanks.

Read this and your woes will go for good

Sorry it's a guide for SSF that I wrote just for this issue

You probobly just have the region setup incorrectly, this has nothing to do with the bios image as any can run all regions it's more to do with the settings, explained in detail in my guide

Thank you so much for the quick reply, I will read the guide!

Well I went through the guide and did everything and it still will not work, the only that was kind of confusing was the notepad editing, I opened up the .cue in notepad and couldn't really tell if it was correct or not, here's what it looks like:

FILE "Shinobi X (E).BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
PREGAP 00:02:00
INDEX 01 42:32:56
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 00 45:02:29
INDEX 01 45:04:29

looks fine to me

I will do a quick test then upload my setting ini for that game

Personly I use my moldel 1 Saturn with a swoptrick/swaptrick

Anyway extract the attached to the folder that you store ssf in (keep paths though, it should drop a file into the /settings/saturn folder of ssf)

the attached only has settings for that one game and you will need to reconfig the controls as it has my controls setup in it for now

I also used the latest release SSF 012 beta R3

I downloaded that and it extract it to my SSF beta R3 folder and tried to run the game and still same error

[Zorlon]

SSF version number goes here then Beta R3

But I am guessing the same version that I have

make sure the correct drive is setup

make sure D-Tools Lite has SPTD drivers installed

[blackmanta]

Woo I finally got it working, I got it to work with alcohol 120%, not sure why daemons tools wasn't working, oh well thanks alot for all your help!

[Zorlon]

Ah thats good to here

No idea I'm not the one that had issues with it

If I had more spare time I could of played round until I got the same results so asides from lack of the SPTD driver or maybe enabled RMPS, SafeDisc Securom or LaserLock issues none of those are needed to be enabled and may actually hinder it working correctly no idea what the problem could of been.
