Sega Saturn Howto run CD iso on girigirir-gav-lite emulator…

 

  1. Rename a bios file to bios.bin and put in the directory.  I used the Europe/USA bios and not the Japenese one.  As I found Japenese bios seems to have regional issues.
  2. Take the iso + mp3 file and convert the mp3 to wave.
  3. Rename the files to a simple one word name.
  4. Use segacuemaker to make a *.cue file with the iso + wave files.  Do this by command prompt.  “segacuemaker filename.iso”
  5. Use Alcohol 120% and load the *.cue file onto the virtual drive.
  6. Use cdrwin and convert the file to a *.bin + *.cue file off of the virtual drive cd image.  Do this by clicking on the extract disk/tracks/sectors part.  Change the cd drive to the virtual one so the disk is loaded.  Select a image file name with directory.  Leave all other settings on the default selections and hit start.  The color combo box will verify how many tracks there are and what kind.  Besure to write over the *.cue file created by segacuemaker with the one made by cdrwin.
  7. Copy the *.bin + *.cue file to the girigiri emulator directory.
  8. Use gentoc to creat the toc.bin file.  Do this by command prompt.  “gentoc –b filename.cue”
  9. Use loader.exe to find what the cd region is.  Do this by clicking on the cue + bin/iso info button on emu tools section.  This will tell you the region.  Use the readme file to correspond region numbers ex. 1 – Japenese 4 – USA 12 – Europe.  Open the file [ base.ini ] and change the region number to the correct one.
  10.  Use glauncher if it is the first time to set the controls.  Otherwise use the command prompt and type “gsaturn –i” to launch the emulator.
  11.  It is import that the region number is correct in base.ini and the toc.bin file was created correctly.
  12.  If the iso had no mp3 or wave file for sound when the .bin/.cue was made the file will most likely not work on the emulator.
  13.  Alcohol 120% is only needed for the cdrwin part.
