Okay it sounds like a) your not converting the music files to proper format B) you need to re make teh cue sheet.
Show us teh cue sheet for a game you plan on burning.

Is there a particular reason what you want ISO files instead of BIN/CUE?

I was told i need to in order to change the region to be able to copy my games to use on a cdx console which for some reason has a jap bios.
Al my games are PAL.
Email as follows.
CD games only work in a single region. If Japanese CD
games are working in the unit then it probably has been modified in some
way. If you are willing to open up the case you can look for a relatively
large rectangular chip and see if there is a second chip stacked on top of
it. Also check for a chip with a small circular window or a label on it.
To use convscd you need to rip the disc to an ISO file first (look for a
Sega CD ripping guide,
but don't follow any directions for BIN/CUE,
you need
an ISO file). convscd is used from the command prompt (go to Start->Run and
type in cmd and hit enter to bring it up). I believe there are directions on
how to use the program packaged in the zip file.

Not that I know of... it should work in Bin/Cue format.
Anyways, most any CD burning tool will let you rip out to ISO files. For instance take Nero. Just go to copy and select the destination drive to be a disk image and then select the disk image type to be ISO and not nrg. It should work fine...
But like I said, Bin/Cue should work fine and is the format I always use.

Thanks heaps mate!
How would i then put in the right region code?
Do i have to remove anything from the iso? etc?
thank you greatly!
Ok i went into nero selected copy..as for destination drive it only lets me select my cd drives..no image drive! ??
This is what i get when i put a mega cd game in my pc.
Abs.txt Files
Q1s4.Bin files ETC ETC
Ok i have gone thru the faq on here to create a bin and cue file.
Im testing it on nba jam.
I have nba.bin
and i have a nba.cue
What do i do now?

I am a big fan of ISO+MP3, so much smaller, and I can never get bin+cue to work. I usually just make mds or clonecd files if I care about perserving the game perfectly. On my setup however it doesnt make a bit of difference, I will never notice the difference between a ISO+mp3 and bin+cue on my saturn, except the ones that dont work.

Guess I missed that
The CD formats are the same between the Sega CD and Saturn, so the burning and ripping would be the same
