Just use Nero to burn the games. It'll convert to wave as part of the burn process.

No special settings.....I just open the cue file with Nero and burn at 8x. Whatever defaults are loaded work fine. It will handle the mp3 conversion automatically.

OGG and APE for Saturn images? I never encountered nor do I know what APE ones are. OGG I think I was able to burn using some program that handled conversion on the fly and then re-ripped it properly....been a long time since I encountered one.

All game files on my site are in either .bin/.cue or .iso/.mp3/.cue format. I try to keep it as simple as possible for people. The sheer ammount of formats I find on other sites is amazing - MDS, CCD, OGG, NRG...just to name a few. And often one site will have games in a myraid number of formats.

I've haven't encountered any APE so I don't know what to use to convert that, but for OGG files, I would reccommend you use OggDropXP. It's a freeware program, just open it, drag the OGG files onto it and it will automatically convert them into WAVE.

APE is Monkey's Audio, which is a lossless form of audio compression. The nice thing about this is that, not only will audio encoded in this format be smaller than their original WAV counterparts but, once you decompress APE back to WAV, you will get the EXACT original file. Therefore, sound quality is not sacrificed at all during compression.

ISO/APE images are quite common on GameTronik (an excellent site for Saturn images and other downloads), and you can use Monkey's Audio to compress WAV to APE, and decompress the other way.
