saturn burning help...

[v_omen]

Ok, hey everyone. I'm new... yadda yadaa. Well, I've burned PSX games before and I just recently got a Sega Saturn. I have gone step by step using FireBurner (i.e., loaded up cue sheet, changed all mp3s to wav, etc.) and all I get are coasters. The only exception is that one of the CDs I burned (i.e., Panzer Dragoon) is read as an audio CD.

I use Nero, and it's always done the trick. Make sure you're buring the games at 8X, or 12X if you're really impatient.

Oh yea, this may be a dumb question, but you do have a mod chip installed, right?

 

[v_omen]

No, I was just planning to use the swap trick to play the games. I can't find a modchip anywhere, and when I do, they're expensive as crap.

 

[Gallstaff]

Um well mod chips are like 20 bucks and they're actually all over the internet...

http://www.jandaman.com/Merchant2/merchant...uct_code=satmod there ya go buddy. Just make sure you got 32 pin. I hear doing the bridge a+b method makes these things work though.

 

[v_omen]

thanx man, but still before i get it i would like to really use the swap method. The main thing i need to kno how to do is burn the games. So i guess i should try nero? does that support cue sheets?

 

[mal]

Are you sure you are doing the swap correctly?

 

[Dyne]

yeah im thinkin what mal is. mebbe all those "coasters" were burned right. the swap was never an easy thing for me the week i tried it.

 

[racketboy]

another vote for Jandaman -- great guy.

save yourself the frustration.

it's well worth the money if you plan on playing your Saturn much

 

[v_omen]

well its not about the swap it, the lens doesnt even go to the outer edge to read the code. I dont know whats going on. it jus boots up like an audio cd rather than going to the outer edge and reading the security code

 

[IBarracudaI]

are you burning disc at once?

 

[v_omen]

yeah it checked the box, im just thinkin that fireburner doesnt work well with this computer because some of the "coasters" ive burned dont have anything on them, i put them back into my comp and it says they're empty. Does anyone here kno how to use nero to burn them?

Akuma sums it up nicely:

You burn mixed mode just like the way you do with CDRWin or FireBurner; load the cue sheet and burn. To load the cue sheet in Nero:

1. File --> Burn Image...

2. Change File type to All Files (*.*)

3. Locate and load the cue sheet

Once the cue sheet has been loaded, the rest should be self-explanatory.

u guys are honeslty amazing thanx.

 

[Gallstaff]

Well mal's post was kind of a common-sensical sort of thing, i'm surprised you didn't think of it before

 

[Alexvrb]

Well gallstaff, not everyone can have your level of common sense. After all, who else here would think of buying a cheap noname PSU for their new rig? Just kidding, that's the fastest way to learn, right?
