Problems with SSF
Problems with SSF
I've gotten SSF to work with many Saturn games except the one I want to play the most! I've downloaded Shining Force III and burned it with alcohol 120% but it will not load. SSF says that the drive is open. I've down loaded it from a couple of different places and got the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks. 
Re: Problems with SSF
Try loading the bin/cue in a virtual drive using a program like daemon tools (or alcohol 120 even.) I recommend running all saturn games like that simply because you don't have to burn any cds.
Re: Problems with SSF
i have it working just fine...but i know how temperamental SSF can be. the version im using is 010_alpha_R4. i would recoment doing the same thing lwcook said. it surly saves cd-r's. if you have alchol use it...otherwise use daemon tools...although if i can remember right i had problems with this. oh and make sure you have it set up to the right drive.

Re: Problems with SSF
I only have the trial version of alcohol.
Re: Problems with SSF
May I suggest Daemon Tools Lite? The lite version allows you to mount and it is also free:

Re: Problems with SSF
I use MagicDisc because Daemon Tools refused to install on my computer under any circumstances.
Re: Problems with SSF
MagicDisc is good as well, I just have been using Alcohol 120% and Daemon tools interchangeably for about 10 years or so.

Re: Problems with SSF
I've set up a virtual drive using Alcohol 120% and it still says that the drive door is open on SSF.....Help Please... 
Re: Problems with SSF
I think I know what your problem is. Open SSF and go to options, what is the CD drive option set to? You want it to say "Generic DVD-ROM".
Other than that, make sure that your BIOS and area code are correct.
EDIT: Oh, you're not using Daemon tools. Just change the CD drive option to whatever Alcohol mounts images as (you probably only have one other option).

Re: Problems with SSF
It works for all of them with the virtual drive except for Shining Force III. I guess it's a bad file? This is the third time in the past week I've downloaded from different sites. Oh, well...
