sega cd emulation question
Re: sega cd emulation question
The ISO format should really not be used for CD based games. There's no reason not to use BIN/CUE. For DVDs, ISO is perfectly fine though.

And never any damn Alcohol 120, Nero, Disk Juggler, or any other proprietary garbage.
We are prepared to live in the plain and die in the plain!
Re: sega cd emulation question
Well I can almost understand the need for CDI (Diskjuggler). It is said that the CDI format is needed for a self boot Dreamcast image. But what I don't understand is how I can rerip a self boot CDI to BIN/CUE and still have it be self boot (even though I read every where that ripping it to BIN/CUE will break the self boot).
But yeah, Alcohol and Nero are for the birds.
CCD/IMG/SUB/CUE (Clone CD) is a different story though. Proprietary, yes. But apparently you need it to rip some (all?) PS1 games otherwise you'll break the protection (it wont copy correctly - you'll get garbage in your image or at some point during the game you'll get an anti-piracy message). Again, I usually rerip my CCD's to BIN/CUE and have never had a problem. Though I'm guessing you need the CCD format for the initial rip, then a rerip to BIN/CUE wont break anything (or maybe it does and I haven't played the right game). At least this is what I'm guessing, I haven't been able to find a clear answer. So many people pretending to know, the whole truth seems to get lost.
Oh man, that was deep.
