vegassio.bin ? What is it?
« on: January 19, 2006, 08:46:39 pm »
Some of CHD files also have a "vegassio.bin" file with them ..... what is this and do I need to do anything special with the file?

I assume you mean the vegas games :-)...

The CHDs are read only I think that mame writes to the bin file....

Not really sure...

Roadburn.chd and sfru2049.chd files both have associated vegassio.bin files.  Not sure if these are Vegas games ..... 

Anyway, I guess I should just keep them together with the CHD files ...  correct?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say yes keep it. 

A quick google search shows that it's part of several different rom sets, i.e. Gauntlet Legends, Cart Fury, San Fran. Rush.

Are any of those games even playable?  If not, who cares?  By the time they are playable, the .rom, .bin and .chd files will probably all have changed anyway.
