    I"m having issues with the Sega CD ISOs burned onto discs. Now do I need to dismantle the ISO before burning or what? Please help me ASAP.

    Are you using a cuesheet. You have to make a cuesheet describing the audio and binary data. Remember to give the first audio file a 20 second pregap. (AFAIK)

    How do I make a cue sheet? Oh and by the way, I ended up burning one Cue Sheet that came with an ISO but it still won't work. Do I still need to dismantle the fucking ISO?

    Sega CD doesnt read RWs, so don't even try that...

    Make sure the disc is R

    How many times do I have to fucking ask? DO I NEED TO DISMANTLE THE ISO BEFORE BURNING IT? Also it is a fucking CD-R! I'm sorry I'm getting pissed off but I'm wasting discs and they are only good for one time use!

    The thing is, is it an ISO/MP3 with RedBook audio, or does it only use PCM. It depends on whether he wants audio or not I guess.

    Sorry, Ugh I'm just so frustrated at the moment because so far I haven't had any luck and I'm wasting CD-Rs.

    Just try that little tool I linked to. If that doesn't work, tell me exactly what game you are trying to burn, I can build you a cuesheet. Also, what burner are you using?

    Well first I was using the CD Writer Wizard. Now I'm using Sonic Data Disc burner. If I need an ISO burner then I'll have to download a new one because the one I currently have doesn't burn them to the disc unless I register. It refuses to let me. Got any good suggestions?

    CDRWIN4 if you can get it to work, that one is pretty much tailored for Sega CD burning. Personally, I am saddened that it kinda lost support on XP. It all depends on if you have ASPI drivers though.

    I'm using Windows XP.... I've tried it and I can't do anything with it. Its my burner that's the problem not the Cue files now.

    I have burned the MegaMix ISO without using a cuesheet, and the game has trouble loading on my SegaCD.
    I used the tool provided, and it created this. Do I need to add anything, or just burn the cue?

    Also, try using ImgBurn, instead of CDRWIN.

    Code (Text):
    1. FILE "Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix.iso" BINARY
    2.   TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
    3.       INDEX 01 00:00:00
    4.       POSTGAP 00:02:00

    ImgBurn is even worse. It burns the images but when I go to view the files it has a single Text file that says: "I'm lonely and cold." Imgburn is as useless as the next one. The only one that will work doesn't support my
    CD-Rom Drive so nothing on it works.

    I'm glad :-D


    Yea, the ISO is only supposed to have the one TXT file in it. Weird, huh?

    being an asshole =P
    Yep, the Megamix ISO has set the ISO 9660 filesystem such that it points to a TXT file and nothing more. This isn't a problem for the game because the Sega CD has no real filesystem defined (the BIOS only provides low-level functions such as reading sectors) and the game program has to define it instead. As such, Megamix has a custom filesystem. This isn't a problem for emulators either because they just read the raw data from the ISO instead of using the ISO 9660 filesystem =P

    And no, I didn't disassemble Megamix to get this info, but it's obvious if you know how the SCD works >_>
