I still disagree. EB CD has the Star Dragon Guardian and much better music.
Maybe you felt that a few months is bit too long ? But I think it is fine actually, so I don't think you are bad at allMaybe I'm bad, but it took me a few months of playing to finally beat it. I think it's a little too hard.
I think we can all admit that The Silver Star was absolutely superior on the Sega CD.
Eternal Blue... however, was infinitely inferior on the platform.
I prefer the Sega-CD version to the PS1 version. The animated scenes look better to me, I love the pixel-art from this version and I think the OST is higher quality.Eternal Blue... however, was infinitely inferior on the platform.

No, you get this entirely backwards, as I said earlier in this thread (discussion starts middle of the page) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1122548&page=28
Lunar 1 is better on PS1/Saturn (though the SCD version is great too), and Lunar 2 on SCD.
I also think Lunar 1 has it's good points on each system (Sega CD/PS1) and lean towards the PS1 version.
Aren't the spell effects supposed to look better on Saturn than PS1? Shame that never got localized.
I left it out not because it doesn't measure up to the other versions, but because I have no experience at all with it. I've heard that, similar to Grandia, we lost out on getting the PS1 version instead, but what can you do?

Your post title triggers me greatly. :c

not if you didn't like the big plot changes
Really is a shame we never saw a 32x port - good piece of kit there.
yeah, fair point
ISO's are more for DVD sized images; sega-CD & that gen you're gonna want bin/cue files
A .CUE contains track information. Most CD based games include a data track and audio tracks. An ISO won't be able to differentiate them which is why you usually want to use a BIN/CUE. A BIN/CUE will always work in that situation but an ISO will only work if the game only includes data.
Does it matter which you use? I was using imgburn I think and it defaults to .bin.
BIN files are pared with a CUE file. The BIN file contains all the data and the CUE contains information about the tracks. Use BIN or CUE, whichever it asks for, because they go together.
Do you recommend an emulator? Because I was trying retroarch but it doesn't seem to acknowledge my sega CD stuff even as .bin
I can't help you there since I'm a real hardware purist. Sorry.
This is a question I was trying to figure out earlier too, since I have my games but don't want to deal with putting the MCD together, finding space for two AC adaptors, a TV, etc. Can Kega run games normally right off a CD drive? And do fast-forward functions etc. work even when playing off the CD?Kega Fusion is a great emulator by a former Iguana programmer (acclaim) named Steve Snake.
Works great on windows - but the current OSX version is broken, unfortunately.

Dude, you're awesome. My rip just worked perfectly on this after trying like 5 different emulators. Thanks!

Ok, cool. It seems to be struggling to even rip it now for some reason. :/
My sega cd was sitting and now it won't even power up
That's pretty common actually. Is it a model 2? A lot of them have a fuse that blows. You can either jump it altogether or replace it with a better one. It's probably the easiest console repair you can do and it's good practice for soldering if you haven't before.
It can run games right from CD - but it's been a while since I have used it. I know there are some bugs with features like save states and such when in MCD mode - but you'll have to try it out for yourself to be sure.
Kega is all about accuracy though - so you can't go wrong with it.
I can't speak much for how savestates are handled, but Fusion can for sure run games off of disc. Since so many games used cartridge or built-in SRAM for saving, I always just used SRAM saving to save my place when playing from disc. I can't remember if I ever tried using fast forward with a disc, but at least on the most recent version of Fusion I downloaded (and I don't believe it's been updated for the better part of a decade), fast forward barely/rarely worked anyhow for stock Genesis, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Will Fusion run a disc seamlessly like a faster disc-read version of an actual Sega CD would? Yes.
Great news! Thank you both! While I love the MCD, I guess what I truly love are the games as opposed to the increasingly precarious contraption I have which would run them, so what a joy to know my games can run happily on a computer.
This reminds me in general of the tragedy of how the MCD is probably the least preserved out of any of the great libraries on virtual consoles. All the core 16 and 32 bit libraries largely persist, including much of the PC Engine, but MCD alone is left behind other than...Sonic CD, and I think that's about it!
Oh, I hadn't really thought of the (uneven) international output, though demand may have been relatively limited on those (though I admire your love for Night Trap!). And while there are understandable legal issues that muddy the re-releases of Lunar TSS and EB, I'm thinking of the mass of other standouts, from Silpheed to Keio to Popful May to Shining Force to Urusei Yatsura to Time Gal to...Well... the FMV games are making a resurgence for some reason. Night Trap and Double Switch namely.
It baffles me that we've never gotten the original Lunars revised, but that's probably never happening. I wish they'd get the same treatment FF1 & 2 did.
I have the JP version on PC Engine, but that's about it.
I have a working SCD and genesis combo that's just missing the proper video cable and power adapter.
Where should I go to find those and how much is the system worth these days?
How do I fix the internal battery of my Sega CD? It can't hold a charge anymore.
