			Satourne can load them, just click on the "Load Saturn BIN" button on the main window. If you're going to be programming using an emulator, beware of incompatibilities and differences to a real Saturn. If you want to test it on real hardware, you could try downloading the CD version of Charles Doty's Shooting Clays game, IIRC it came with all you need to build a disc image. The easiest way is using an Action Replay and a Commlink card, as you don't have to waste CDs every time you want to test something.

			You can also make an ISO(mounted with daemon tools) and try it on SSF and on Satourne. When it works both on SSF and Satourne it should work on a real Saturn.

			Ya! Wooo but can i use Mkisofs ? but the problem is i dont have the tools to make the saturn disc, I dunno where to get them :/ oh I tried Satourne LOAD SATURN BIN and it gave me Invalid SH2 Master Op Code, Do they still sell COmms LinkS? and a action replay? mmmm thats not a bad idea but for now i need to use the emulators

			Grab the ISO build files package from Saturn Development Central..., it should work pretty much as-is. Commlinks and Action Replays are still available, you can find them at Lik-Sang, among other places.

			Ah, forgot about those. Hop over to http://dev.paradogs.com/tools.html... and get the cdtools.zip package.

			WEll, I made a img then i strip iso'd it. now i converted it to U. but its 140kb!!!!! it wont load up on the Saturn. I tried it on Satourne. it loads up the saturn logo & the Copyright black screen but then it stops loading. dammit.
