no

Also check the readme file to see how to play Sega CD games directly from the ISO with the MP3s in the same directory.

some even support BIN/CUE files (though they are a bit larger)

I seem to remember Steve Snake saying only AGES has BIN/CUE support...

 Link Hylia Jul 13, 2002
okay, 1 currently supports BIN/CUE,

some will soon support it.

until then, you can always make a VirtualCD drive of it.

if you're running kega and you want music then you have to burn a copy of your game

CDRWs just fit fine that purpose, btw ...

Snatcher seems to hang in KEGA 0.04b if read ahead option is enabled and you are using a real CD-Rom disc. (Maybe it's a issue related to my specific configuration, but it's a worth mention anyway)

Kega won't run isos from emulated CD-Rom due to the way it fetch the audio data. It relies on digital data extraction. I consider it a really good feature, but the problem is that at least the emulated CD-Rom I tried (daemon tools) won't liked the way Kega tried to acess the data.

I have a bin of Lunar Eternal Blue and it plays fine in Gens 2.0.

Gens only plays the data track of the .bin. Because it doesn't use a .cue, Gens has no idea that there are audio tracks in the .bin. My guess is that using a BIN in Gens would give you the same results as using a lone ISO.

In the case of Lunar EB...

The game contains two audio tracks, neither of which are used anywhere in the game (e.g. you can only hear them if you pop the CD into a CD player). So it doesn't really matter if EB's audio tracks are present or not, or if Gens *thinks* they're present or not.
