The correct way of creating a neo-geo cd image..

[nashismo]

I found that almost every game on the net come whith an ISO plus a bunch of mp3 files. The explanation to this is that the structure of the neo-geo cd is like mixed discs, with the first track with data, and rest with audio tracks.
So... how to make an image with all this from the iso and mp3?

First you will need...
The game files (ISO + mp3).
Notepad.
Nero (I used 5.5).

Then we'll have to create a "cue" file (this is the trick).
Open the notepad an paste this..

FILE "gamename.iso" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 02.mp3" MP3
TRACK 02 AUDIO
PREGAP 00:03:00
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 03.mp3" MP3
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 04.mp3" MP3
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 05.mp3" MP3
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 06.mp3" MP3
TRACK 06 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 07.mp3" MP3
TRACK 07 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 08.mp3" MP3
TRACK 08 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 09.mp3" MP3
TRACK 09 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 10.mp3" MP3
TRACK 10 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 11.mp3" MP3
TRACK 11 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 12.mp3" MP3
TRACK 12 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 13.mp3" MP3
TRACK 13 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 14.mp3" MP3
TRACK 14 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "Track 15.mp3" MP3
TRACK 15 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00

replace "gamename.iso" with the filename of your iso file, and the track names with the mp3 filenames keeping an eye on the placement order.

then save the file as "anything.cue", and put it in the same folder as the iso and mp3 files.

then open Nero, go to "recorder", then "choose recorder", then "image recorder" and press "OK".

Then go to "file" -> "Burn Image", search the cue file that you created and click "open". then write the image, and nero will ask you where.

Finally burn it with the software you like.

(you could write directly to a cdr instead of an image, but nero has to convert the mp3 to cda so i recomend you to build the image first).

That's it..

The other way, (i haven't tried it yet)... is to extract the iso content and build a mixed cd with nero, drag the extracted files to the data field, and the mp3s to the audio field. Then burn. Let me know if it works.
Anyway, I think the first method is the best one.

Hope it helps. ;)
bye bye.

[boule]

just to facilitate things...

you can use sega cue maker to create the .cue file
just select the folder containing mp3s and iso, generate the .cue and save.

ps: sorry, can't post where to find it as it would link to an illegal site but it's available on google :p

[nashismo]

The only problem is that the emu have no support for cdda yet... :oops:

[bytestorm]

hmm..i was told thet iso's rebuilded from iso + mp3 wont work correct because of corrupt TOC... only iso+mpc/ogg vere able to be perfectly rebuilt..?

can you give me some more info? have you actually done this to a game and gotten it to work perfect with emu/neogeocd console?

[evilo]

[Dmnj]

It works fine for me.

[TOo]

when i use sega cue maker and burn it on a cd and it works but one thing the music the sound works but the music i even use the 0.6 emulator but still no music maybe sega cue maker doesnt so Sh!t or i dont know can someone please tell me what game with sound works and uses the sega cue thingy

[TOo]

i accidently post he wrong thing sorry the i meant the music doesnt but the sound it works AND At the bottom thats says sega cue doesnt so sh1t the so suppose to be do

[Ps2fanatico]

Actually, I'm having the same problem.

I already made the image file of a game using Nero and burned it using Alcohol, and everything when fine. I said this because I tried the cd using a Neocd/PC Emulator that supports wav. and the music and sounds works ok. But when I tried it in the 6b version I can't get any music, even though I turned the cdda on in game menu.
Any Suggestions

[newgen]

Any guy kindly tell me where I can get free download for Neocd rom? Thanks.

you should have read the FAQ/rules (http://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/faq.php?) , no warez here, so sorry -.-

[edit]: just forgot, welcome to the forums :p

[Sepp3000]

None of these burning methods do work on my system! :(

Creating CUE Files - Negative.

Mixed Audio/Data CD - Negative.

Any Idea??? :-pray: I used Nero 6...

[Experiment1106]

ok my way to do that is i take CDGENPS2 and take first my files from the EMU inside and then i do the files from the game and last the MP3 files in there.
Then make an new ISO with CDGENPS2 and put the ISO to My hdd it works fine but i have Probs with the MP3 files no music i think with the MP3 files i must do another way but i Dont no at the Moment :banghead:

[Sepp3000]

Alright, fine! Thx, I'll go out and find this SEGA CUE MAKER and then I'll check CDGENPS2 again...:)

@Experiment1106: Do unzip the .iso-file in the CDGENPS2??? :chinscrat

[Sepp3000]

ok my way to do that is i take CDGENPS2 and take first my files from the EMU inside and then i do the files from the game and last the MP3 files in there.

Yeah, did that too, but on a CD-R - and it works! But there's no sound. You can't pack those mp3's in cdgenPS2!! Gotta find a way... :chinscrat

SEGA CUE MAKER doesn't work...:mad:

[Experiment1106]

ok i am trying to find a way to implement the MP3 files, and then i post it.
Maybe you found an way to do that you can give me an answer ok.

[Sepp3000]

Alright, let's get it going on. I tried this here...
hi man.... here is a Tutorial , i dont know who the author is.....im taking no credit.......but i have used it and it works.

To burn the emulator and a game together, it's very easy :

1. prepare a folder "neocd05" (not important)
2. put your neocd cd in your drive and copy all the files (*.spr, *.fix, *.z80, *.txt,etc..) in that
folder.
3. put all the files from the neocd binary in the same folder
4. put the neocd bios
5. and burn the content of the folder (so all files at the root of tne CD) as usual.

see readme, if you have problem !

then once at the "swap" screen, just DON'T swap the cd, press X and the game will be loaded

I hope you'll enjoy it

...but I do not know how to burn stuff on "the root" of a CD with NERO 6. :banghead: I guess the mp3 must be converted to .wav, too....

I got a trash can full of CD-R's...

EDIT:
:D


Muahaha, I got it! Here you go:

Creating a cue file with cdgenPS2 will work without sound - creating a cue file Nashimo's way, the game file is not being detected, but the sound works!

Solution: Mix those two cue files and everything is fine! :D

1. Cut out the first 4 Lines from your cue file made with cdgenPS2. Paste them in your cue file made manually Nashimo's way (replace these lines there)
2. Copy your .bin file created by cdgenPS2 to your game folder where you got your mp3's and the "mixed" cue-file.
3. Delete the original .iso file : Now there is your
- mixed cue file
- the .bin file made by cdgenPS2
- and the mp3's
4. Burn the mixed-cue file and have fun. YES! :lol:

ps.: The CD runs on the NJ's NeoGeo CDZ, too! (windows)

[Experiment1106]

i will try and give you an answer sepp3000 ok

Why you have 4 Lines when u use CDGENPS2 i have 3 look:

FILE "imagen.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

can i show your 4 lines i am going totally crazy about that.

[Sepp3000]

Aight, sry: Of course there are only 3 Lines!!! :banghead:


FILE "imagen.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
...


Paste these in front of "POSTGAP 00:02:00" - line followed by the mp3's...

Use Sega cue maker for the .cue file Nashimo's way. Put the 3 lines from PS2cdgen cue file in there. Be sure there is the created .bin file by PS2cdgen, too. It should work.

[avata666]

Hy folks,

your instruction isn't working.

I'll tell you my step, perhaps there is a mistake:

1) I have game *.iso and mp3s

2) I use isobuster to get the data of the *.iso to my HD

3) I open CDGenPS2 and use "drag'n'drop" to put the file data there

4) I put the NEOCD/PS2 Data there without cd folder (same directory than 3)

4) I create an image

5) I place the new image + cue + the mp3s in a new folder

6) I tried to use Sega File Maker but it seems that it onley works with *.wav (Error MSG)

7) I modify the file with you *.cue instructions

8) I open the image with nero (works)

9) I burn it (works, too)

10) I place it in my playstation

11) The screen with the CD and the memcard appears

12) CD won't work.......


I have a slimline with a modbo.

If I only place the files in the cd folder of the emulator the game works without sound.

Your isn't working....


Please HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP

[Experiment1106]

try to put the NEOCD-PS2 Data at first and then the Data from the iso and the mp3 files.

I hope you have the NEOCD.BIOS without them dont work

[avata666]

Ok pal:

My cue looks like this:

FILE "imagen.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352

INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "original_Iso_Name - Track 16.mp3" MP3
TRACK 16 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00

of course I included the NG-bios


To my mind the order of the data in the newly created iso isn't important or?

Perhaps I made somewhere else a mistake or I'm simply to stupid :-)

Please give me instructions...

-------------------------------------------------------
OK-----the order was important.:wow:

Now the game is running again but I still don't have music!?

Please give a complete WALKTHROUGH....

I really can't find my mistake :cry:

Do I have to include the mp3s somewhere else?

I only enter them in the*.cue...

[Tidus93]

Hello
I have a problem. I do what you said (same things als avata666) but with HDLoader my game don't start (i have a black screen) and with a windows emulator my game start perfectly with sound and tracks. But if i do Nashismo way, Hdloader start my game but without music (only sound). What I must do?
(i can't play cds because i have a unmodded ps2)

[Experiment1106]

When you will play NeoCD games on a unmodded Ps2 you must make an Iso with the Emu and the Gamedata at 1 Disc.
It works for me perfect but you have no music but the Game FX works perfectly.

[catallin]

@Experiment how exactly are you doing that image to put it on HDD and play it? I'm trying verry hard and i didn't make it. If you have the time, please put a short tutorial from the iso+traks of neo geo cd game and the files from the emu to actually play from hdd. Many many thanks

Hello everyone I am new to this thing. I had used CDpgen to run the emulator on NeoCDps2 but I can make the game run. I had read every post but it get me kind of confuse. would anyone kindly can help me out with this? I will thankz in advances.:cry:

[lurklurk]

i have tried a couple of things mentioned on this site and it hasn't been working. should i use cdgenps2? im using swap magic 3.6.:banghead: :banghead:

[Experiment1106]

ok i make it short ......
place the neocd Emu files in CDgen with the bios and the sytem.cnf

Then unpack the iso from the game and put these files in CDgen too.

Forget the MP3 stuff this work for me not too.

thats all in cdgen make an iso and burn -- you have lost the background music but the FX are in the game is working.

Hope this helps for you to play neogeoCD

Hmmm Can it Load Games from HDD?

[boule]

hello,
Only way to play from HDD is with Experiment1106's method right above your message (by installing/launching this image with hdloader, but there will be no sound :/
