Need Some Help With Mamewah & Fusion / Opening a Sega CD image?
M.A.M.E Power:
Ok so I have fusion up and running just fine, boots 32x, genesis, mastersystem games with no issues.
The trouble I am having is with Sega CD images - as I have a large HD I have put the roms onto that instead of all the discs. Is it possible to play these games if they are in zipped format?
I create the list in mamewah, go to launch the game, and the sega cd screen comes up and tells me to reset to open the CD draw. I copied the ini file from John's site, and I think that could be part of the problem (please see below)

I imagine it is a simple fix - but cannot seem to find the answer.
Thanks

IIRC you need to create a folder for each CD game within your rom folder. Then each of these folders should contain a bin/cue/iso image of the CD and relevant MP3's.
eg:
\fusion\roms\Sonic CD\Sonic CD.iso
_________________\Track 2.mp3
_________________\Track 3.mp3
etc.
I am 99.9% sure this is explained in the Fusion docs otherwise I wouldn't know how to do it! ;)
Note to seamlessly have these games integrated with a list of 'normal' Sega games, you would need to use the latest Mamewah beta...

Thanks for the reply!
I have unzipped the folders, they do not all contain bin files.
I can open the image up through fusion (using the unzipped folder and selecting the iso image).
The trouble is getting mamewah to load it - I know it is me @ fault, but cannot seem to put my finger on it.
The list can be generated in mamewah if the folders are zipped - but how do I create a list using the folders when they are unzipped?
I tried telling the mamewah ini file to look for iso's but that showed nothing up.
The folders contain other tracks as you mentioned - do i need to rename these from there original format?
Suggestions welcome.
Am using the latest release of mamewah.
Thanks

I am also interested in this discussion. I tried to set up my SegaCD as well, but MameWah only generates one game in the list. I have 6 game directories (see below) which each have an ISO or BIN file within (as well as MP3 files)
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Adventures of Batman & Robin\<files>
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Earthworm Jim Special Edition\<files>
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Jurassic Park\<files>
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Mad Dog McCree\<files>
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Secret of Monkey Island\<files>
C:\Emulators\RomFiles\SegaCD\myCDs\Sonic CD\<files>
I have my MameWahv1.62b9 INI file "rom_extension" set to "iso;bin" and when I generate a game list, then only the first CD directory game (ie: Adventures of Batman & Robin) is displayed.
When I start the Batman game in MameWah, it asks me to press RESET as well. If I start the game from the command prompt it asks me to simply press START and when I do this, then the game starts.
Why does MameWah only list one game in the gamelist and why does it ask for me to press RESET ?
Here is my MameWahv1.62b9 INI file as well

First off I would post these questions in the MameWAH forum.
That being said, you have two options.
Option 1:
Leave them in ISO/WAV format and put each in its own folder and modify your ini file accordingly. Not many people use this method.
Option 2:
Convert all the images to bin/cue format, place the bin/cue files all in one folder and then mount them using Daemon Tools. This is the preferred method.
