to format the mem.when the sega cd title screen is showing,(the bit where the logo spins)press the c button.then select the options i think it is.the prob with the games could be anything from your pc not being supported to the mp3 files not being named correctly.becouse if the mp3 files aint named right,most games just hang.

you format the RAM cart?

press the Genesis's A button when no game is loaded.

format the RAM cart, and choose to use the largest available RAM cart size (in Gens menu) (this is is Gens.txt which seems almost nobody reads)

you do have the names correct

lunar.iso

lunar02.mp3

lunar03.mp3

...

remember, the name is CaSe-sensitive

Lunar.iso

and

lunar.mp3

will not be paired.

with gens, i think the naming convention is lunar.iso, then lunar 01.mp3 (be sure that space is in there), etc.

From Gens.txt


  
	
	

		
		

			* Running a Sega-CD/Mega-CD Game from a CD image/Mp3 file:



----------------------------------------------------------



Gens also supports CD images (backups) in .iso/.bin/.raw format with .mp3



audio. It is recommended that when using CD images that you have both the CD



image and the correct .mp3 files available as many games will not run if the



audio tracks aren't present.



For Gens to correctly identify any .mp3 audio tracks for your CD images they



have to be placed in the same directory as the CD image file with the same



file name as the CD image followed by a track number. For example if you are



using a CD image called Blaster.iso with three .mp3 files you would need to



put all the files in the same directory and rename them like this:



   Blaster.iso



   Blaster 02.mp3



   Blaster 03.mp3



   Blaster 04.mp3



There are a couple of important points to remember when setting up your CD



images & .mp3 files for use with Gens:



   * The CD Image should NOT be numbered, it won't work if you have



    "Blaster 01.iso" instead of "Blaster.iso"!



   * The CD image acts as track one so the first audio track will always



    be track two+.



   * The track numbers must also be a TWO DIGIT number: 02, 03,...10 etc.,



    NOT 2, 3,...10.



   * The space between the file name and the track number is optional.

Reading the included documentation certainly answers a lot of questions, doesn't it?

Does it?

I hadn't noticed.
