		Jesús this is what I talking about wizards, Sir I take off my hat to you, by the way it’s possible play it on Saroo, I tried but said that can’t be load, I need to convert the wave archives to bin? Or what I need to do? Sorry I’m totally new with this Edit: I finally knew what to do with the cue-iso file, now I’m playing it on the console, damn the colors just pop, for me the best version by far. In other hand it will be possible port Sega CD games to Saturn?, it will be amazing get the best versions of the Earthworm Jim games in one console or play Silpheed with the mission stick (well just dreaming). Thanks again

Hello friend, I even managed to make it work on the saroo, but the music didn't sound, could you tell me what you did to solve this issue?

If it works for you, it means that you have already converted the iso to bin, the only thing left is to modify is the CUE file, open it and change the words WAVE to BINARY of each line that appears ejem: FILE "track02.wav" WAVE" > "FILE "track02.wav" BINARY, that's all, you don't have to convert the wav audios to bin

Wow, I tried everything, and I couldn't get the game to run anymore, much less join everything with the WAVE files like you told me, the first file that I managed to run the game without sound I ended up deleting, now I can't do it either by BIN and CUE or by ISO or any other way, Couldn't you upload your finished work to Saroo?

		it's a bad way, create a bin+cue with power iso or whatever tool you want

But that's the problem. When I just put the ISO into SAROO, the game works, running normally with just the game sounds, but no music. But no matter what I do to convert this ISO to BIN so I can add it to the CUE file, when I put all the files in SAROO (ISO, CUE, and WAVE files), Saturn recognizes it as an AUDIO CD and won't start the game. Or when I try to create an ISO of everything, SAROO won't open it. Can you help me? I really want to play this version.

Amazing work, thanks to VBT and everyone who helped with this port. This is one of my favourite Amiga games from back in the day.

Our video just went out tonight covering the port.

Nice video, but I tried the solution of renaming the ISO to BIN and tried to run it on SAROO and it didn't work, I'm eagerly waiting for someone to bring a solution for this.
