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

Try repairing it and saving it out as a new cue + bin even though it says no errors.

I can guarantee you that Albert Odyssey is a game that works. I have it working and so does Zombeaver.

Do any other games work ?

It says no errors found in CDMage. I can try repair/re-save. Yes, Batman Forever Arcade works and so does Sonic 3D Blast.

[Lordmonkus]

Ok so other games work that's good at least.

Yeah try the repair anyways, if that doesn't work then you will need to download a new rip, look for a Darkwater dump if you are unsure yours is already.

Big question. Do I load the .cue file when loading in Sega Saturn (Mednafen) core?

[Lordmonkus]

yes

[luger81]

Ok. So I've been doing that right. Good to know. Yeah, most of the images load as a CD instead of the game.

[Lordmonkus]

Well if you have some games working in your setup and you get a game that loads to the cd player then that means your disk image is bad. You can try repairing the image or getting a new dump.

[luger81]

Also, if I load the image in CDMage as a .cue, it loads as an audio disc. If i load it as a .bin, 

[Lordmonkus]

It looks like you are loading the bin file into cdmage, here is a screenshot of what mine looks like when loaded.

Yes, that's the .cue that you loaded. Mine looked like that too when I did the.cue.

[Lordmonkus]

Well I don't know what else to tell you then.

You have other games that work so your setup is correct. You have tried to fix your game but it still doesn't work. I know that Albert Odyssey works so your only option is download a different dump of the disk and see if that works.

That's my conclusion as well. Thanks for all the help and advice. I will try to repair\re-save images. If not I will try the Darkwater images.  I downloaded Clockwork Knight and it worked.

[Lordmonkus]

Darkwater dumps are rock solid, I don't recall ever getting a bad one from them.

[luger81]

Nice! Thanks again for all of the help. I stink at this. Some might say that I know enough to be dangerous. Jack of all trades, Master of none.

[Lordmonkus]

lol

I have an image of Area 51 and I've tried to run it with Mednafen Saturn in RA as usual but it says uncorrectable error when I start it. I've tried running through CDMage but it just loads a blank screen after "Save As" and after the Saturn Logo. Is there a tutorial to fix images in CDmage?

[DOS76]

This is one game that I believe doesn't work in Mednafen Saturn core. Mine doesn't report any errors but it just loads black screen after exiting the date time screen.

[luger81]

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

[luger81]

Anyone else dealing with Scratchy Audio issues with Mednafen Saturn?

[Lordmonkus]

Retroarch or stand alone ?

If it is stand alone I don't know what to tell you to do to boost performance but if you are using Retroarch try turning Hard GPU Sync to On and set the frames to 1. If that doesn't work try turning Threaded Video to On.

[luger81]

RA....Thanks, I'll try that.
