Kega Fusion

[Elfo]

So, I've looked high and low but I can't seem to find a solution for this. I'm attempting to get Kega Fusion (3.51) to work run Sonic CD. I really can't get it to run any game, but I've got the three bios's, and the game is in bin/cue format.

What happens, is that the load up screen appears, and it checks the disk, and then it goes to the funky music player. I can't get it to boot the game. I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking...

Anyways, thanks for any help.

Sorry I and others have yet to address your questions.

It would appear that Kega isn't seeing the disc image for some reason.

Are you loading it via a Virtual CD\DVD drive? or are you sending it directly to the emulator?

What does your commandline look like?

If using a Virtual CD\DVD drive what does your Launch Before\After entries look like?

Have you opened up the CUE file and made sure there is no additional pathing information contained in it?

Thanks a bunch for replying, and don't worry about the delay. I just now checked in because Midterms suck!

At any rate, I'm sending the image directly to the emulator, as I've found nothing definitive telling me I must mount it prior (like in Magic Engine). It has been implied in the reading I've done that it is safe to send directly to the emulator.

I've also tried three different images, to try and rule out a corrupt image; Sonic CD is just the one I care the most about

I've yet to try to get it to run inside GamEx, as I want to get it running outside first, and then worry about calling it. All other systems emulated by Fusion seem to work normally, it's just the CD portion I can't get to work.

Okay your commandline should look like so:

Fusion.exe -scd -fullscreen "[RomPath]\[RomFile]"

Now another thing to keep in mind is that Kega Fusion only likes BIN or ISO based disc images...anything else will have to be mounted in a virtual CD\DVD drive.

Now when sending the BIN or ISO...you'll actually be sending the CUE file to load the image....its important to make sure the CUE file doesn't contain any pathing information...strictly the file names.

So if you see something like:

FILE "C:\Sega CD Rips\SONIC CD.bin" BINARY

Change it to look like:

FILE "SONIC CD.bin" BINARY

And of course all file names in the CUE file must match up withs in the directory.

Its also important to make sure you're using the correct region CD BIOS as things may not emulate correctly or at all...hehe haven't tested.

Also worth a mention is enabling Options\Perfect Sync as this can be critical to proper emulation of CD games.

Perfect Sync did the trick, thanks!

I knew it was something simple
