UglyJoe or anyone else:

Okay, so I downloaded Sega Cue maker, and now have the cue file and the .iso and the mp3s for Snatcher.

What do you do to burn it correctly so it can play on the Sega CD?

Also, what about PAL or Japanese roms? will they be able to be burnt and played on a NTSC Sega CD? Any advice is appricated.

I usually use Nero to burn stuff.  Just tell it to burn a disc image and load the cue file.  It should be able to do the rest (such as converting the mp3s to cd audio).  As far as I know, the SegaCD has no region lockout (although I'm not sure how a PAL game would work on an NTSC SegaCD/TV).

more specifically, a PAL ROM. I mean, the disc would record in ntsc mode wouldn't it? I'm cerious. One other thing: do you know if the CDX would be behave any differently? I heard some things that some burnt games won't run on it. Any thoughts?

PAL/NTSC don't refer to how the disc is recorded.  The data on the disc will still be formatted for PAL televisions.

Sorry, I have no idea.

The same way I described to satoshi_matrix.  Get Sega Cue Maker, make the cue file, and tell Diskjuggler to burn the cue file.  You should be able to just copy the original CD, too, the same way you would copy any other CD.

Ayup. I've already done that.CD Copy in nero or whatever works great.

How are the graphics on the Sega CD? are they smooth? 16 bit right? Do the controls work well? I may pick one up if people think it really is worth it.

two perspectives:

first, the angry videogame nerd complaining about it

second, a much more objective look at it

skip the first 3 minutes and 51 seconds because frankly, I don't know why it was included and man its baddddddddddddddddd XD Also this review is more of a response to the AVGN perspective, so watch that first.


All in all, the Sega CD does have some good games, but the good are washed out by a sea of crap.

There are just a few nice games according to me.
The only reason that i want a mega cd is because you can play the real final fight.
Thats the only reason. Allthough the wondermega and the mega cd 1 are very cool consoles but the wondermega is the same as selling a kidney
