		why is it so complicated to burn saturn games?????????? i really want to play samurai shodown, the files i have are: -samurai shodown 3.cue -samurai showdown 3 TOC.txt -track1.iso -track2 - track37.ogg i've read through here but there's no mention of ogg. also, i have cdmage but what the heck do i do with it? there is no help file... is there a simple, simple program like bootdreams for dreamcast where i just click on the file and it does all the work? i tried burning these files 'as-is' with alcohol120, and it didnt do anything. it said it was burning, in fact it went to 2100% (!) before i closed the program only to find the cd was still empty (at least it didnt make a coaster, whew!). i tried discjuggler, but -even though CUE is one of the programs recognized formats- it wouldnt open the cue. oh god, what do i do? i'm still working on getting the system to even play backups (i'll give a big thank-you in that thread once its successful!), but i'd really like to have at least a few backups ready to go, especially if there's something wrong with the one i've been trying to use. PS i also have guardian heroes, which is the same set of files as SS3, except the audio is mp3, and final fight revenge, which is just ISO and mp3. PS please recommend anything BUT nero. i still have nightmares about that program. chills

		I don't think there is anything wrong with nero. Any burning program will burn a saturn img if you give it what it supports. As for your ogg files try converting them to wav first and then modifying your cue sheet. to convert the ogg files easily use http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html...

		Right, first, go ahead and convert that ogg file to wav. Then copy and paste the cue file contents here (it's just a text file). Once you do those two things, we can better assist you. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Samurai Shodown 3 requires the RAM cart to play on the Saturn... just a heads up. I didn't know that until after I purchased the game.

O SHI-

you're right about SS3, so thats deleted.

i'll try guardian heroes. mp3s are converting to wav..

here's the cue sheet:

Code:

    FILE "guardian.iso" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 POSTGAP 00:02:00 FILE "GH02.wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO PREGAP 00:02:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH03.wav" WAVE TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH04.wav" WAVE TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH05.wav" WAVE TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH06.wav" WAVE TRACK 06 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH07.wav" WAVE TRACK 07 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH08.wav" WAVE TRACK 08 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH09.wav" WAVE TRACK 09 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH10.wav" WAVE TRACK 10 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH11.wav" WAVE TRACK 11 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH12.wav" WAVE TRACK 12 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH13.wav" WAVE TRACK 13 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH14.wav" WAVE TRACK 14 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH15.wav" WAVE TRACK 15 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH16.wav" WAVE TRACK 16 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH17.wav" WAVE TRACK 17 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH18.wav" WAVE TRACK 18 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH19.wav" WAVE TRACK 19 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH20.wav" WAVE TRACK 20 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH21.wav" WAVE TRACK 21 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH22.wav" WAVE TRACK 22 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH23.wav" WAVE TRACK 23 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH24.wav" WAVE TRACK 24 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00

so... once they're converted to wav, its all good to burn? i just delete the mp3s since they're wavs now, and it should load up just fine?

if so, i'll be happy.

thanks very much for the help, fellas!

		That cue sheet looks good. Just make sure that all the wavs and mp3s are in the same folder, and they're all the right case (upper case, lower case, same as cue sheet). If I remember correctly, you have to choose burn disc image, load the cue sheet, and burn Disc At Once (DAO) - I think Sega CD games are TAO. Guardian Heroes is an outstanding game, good luck.
