Should I even bother with Dreamcast, Sega Saturn or PS2?

You want cue + bin only. I have fixed up some games that came with mp3 or wav files though. For wav files just mount the cue sheet with Daemon Tools and then use ImgBurn to generate a new cue + bin from that. Games with mp3 files you have to convert the mp3s to wav files and modify the cue sheets references of mp3 to wav and wave. I did a video on fixing those. Not sure about aif format and if they would need to be converted first or not before mounting and regenerating a new cue + bin.

Ok it's just that you mentioned PSX so I thought maybe you were using the Mednafen PSX core.

If you are getting the cd screen then there are 2 possibilities.

Is it a PAL region game ? PAL games do not work yet for now, they can be fixed with the region patcher tool but it isn't 100%.

The other possibility is your disk image may be a bad dump and has errors and may be fixable using CDMage. I use the version of CDMage on Emuparadise. Load the cue sheet into CDMage then click Action and Scan For Corruption, then Action > Repair  Corrupted Sectors. Once that is done go to File > Save as and save out a new cue + bin.

Something else that just came to mind because you mention Albert Odyssey, what is the exact file name ?

The reason I ask this is because Zombeaver was having problems with his until he renamed it. The copy he had was a really long weird file name and after he shortened it to a shorter simpler name it worked. It seems that Mednafen doesn't like long weird names in it's files.

Try changing the name of the cue + bin and don't forget to edit the cue sheet to match the bin name.
