Sega CD on Mame
« on: October 20, 2009, 10:12:07 pm »
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?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

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.

Introducing The Tone Ledger, a premium 5x7 inch, 100 pg notebook designed for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists...pretty much anyone who enjoys using amps and pedals. Great for experienced musicians, hobbyists, or students just getting started.

No. You have them on your hard drive, so they are already in a disc image format.

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.

Test run worked. All I need now is a BIG drive to put these Sega CD games on
