Massive Errors in CDmage on Saturn ISOs

[andymol21]

Just downloaded a couple of .bins from UG that I wanted to try out on my modded Saturn. I have to region patch them as I have a UK Saturn so I use the SRP v2.1, and then use CDmage to rebuild two sectors (150 and 151) so it works. This worked for about 10 of the games I downloaded, but some of them show massive amounts of errors, meaning that CDmage takes over an hour sorting them all out! These errors are linked to the CD failing (such as in Rayman, where it hangs after the Ubisoft logo, and Sonic 3D, where it hangs after the intro) so will fixing these errors with CDmage fix the image, or do I need to download a new one? Which option (Fix/Rebuild/something else) should I use to get these images working?

On another note, a couple of the files were in MDF/MDS format, which appears to be incompatible with SRP v2.1. Is switching the format with MagicISO the best way to deal with this, or is there an easier way?

P.S. Yes, I know a Action Replay/4 in 1 cart would alleviate all these problems, and the minute I have the cash, I'm going to order one from Racketboy!

I would get new isos if I could. The errors that you are getting are consistent with bad rips. I have burned about 100 games off of UG and have used the method you have described without an issue. Also i believe that MDS files are banned on UG.

Just out of curiosity, what is UG? Can you give me the link to it?
