CD

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

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

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

None of these burning methods do work on my system!

Creating CUE Files - Negative.

Mixed Audio/Data CD - Negative.

Any Idea??? I used Nero 6...

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???

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...

SEGA CUE MAKER doesn't work...

Alright, let's get it going on. I tried this here...

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. I guess the mp3 must be converted to .wav, too....

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

EDIT:



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!

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!

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