Sega CD on Mame
acidblue0:
I own tons of Sega CD games. How do I play them on Mame without using a CD? I want to be able to have all of them on Hard Drive and be able to have a list on Maximus Arcade. Can this be done?
Ginsu Victim:
You can't play them in MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). You can use a Genesis/Megadrive emulator that supports loading ISOs, though. I use Kega Fusion. I don't know if there's anything more modern, though.
acidblue0:
So I will have to a CD drive setup up on mame cabinet to run them?
Ginsu Victim:
No. You have them on your hard drive, so they are already in a disc image format.
Turnarcades:
If you rip the games to .bin you can convert them to .iso and .mp3 files to play in most emulators without the CD. By far the best and most cabinet-friendly I've found is Kega Fusion. ensure you have the appropriate bios files, test them in the emulator from Windows first, then set your front-end up to identify the .iso files to create your game list.
