The Game Overthinker made a video called Open The Vaults, and if you look on youtube for it, to me the answer to his concern in the video was infact emulation. Ive played hundreads of games that I other wise wouldnt have been able to afford to play, and some games that Id NEVER be able to buy because they arent available any other way but through emulation. I think most emulators are pretty much as good as the actual games on actual hardware, but its just not the same experience. Why were you in a area devoted to emulation then? Ive used emulators to play everything from NEO GEO to Nintendo DS, and overall Im ok with it. (Also emulation isn't illegal, though downloading ROM's is another story) However, I do not want to misconstrue the importance of emulation. I agree that playing it on the real system will always be the purist way to play any game. The real hardware won't be around forever, and emulation will be needed to preserve these consoles from being lost forever.

BSNES and Genesis Plus GX come to mind.Īside from emulation having its own advantages, as Ziggy has already stated, it also serves as a great way to keep these systems alive in spirit. This is simply not the case.įirst off, emulation can be incredibly accurate in some cases, even to the point were one could be forgiven if he/she marked it as "perfect".

The idea that because emulation can never be 100% " perfect" immediately makes it's presence, not only redundant, but out right blasphemy. I've never really like this type of attitude. You won't know how a game is really supposed to look and sound unless you use an actual copy of the game on real hardware. So it's best to just rip the game yourself, whenever possible.īreetai wrote:Anyway, I think the point is that if you are using emulation, you are seriously missing out on how the game should be played.

You can download a BIN/CUE image, but that doesn't mean some one didn't convert that from an ISO+mp3 image in which case the audio is still a lower quality. In addition to that, you never really know what you're downloading. So for all these reason, BIN/CUE is the best way to go for a Sega CD game (as well as many other CD based games, but not all). But you still have to deal with a handful of audio files and a CUE for them. If they left the image ISO+wav, then it might be equal to a BIN/CUE rip. I'm assuming people convert the wav to mp3 to save bandwidth when down/uploading. Also, mp3 is a lossy format, so the audio quality wont be as good as a 1:1 copy like BIN/CUE. This is all fixable, but still a needless problem that you'd have to deal with. The CUE is usually missing, and if it's included it's usually corrupt. What you are usually able to download is ISO+mp3 with a CUE. If you rip a Sega CD game to BIN/CUE, it'll be an exact 1:1 copy of the game.

ISO doesn't have to be inferior, but it usually is. My apologies for giving an inferior ripping format. I don't really use emulators, as it makes you less of a person if you do so. It might even be illegal.īreetai wrote:Good point.

My apologies for giving an inferior ripping format.Īnyway, I think the point is that if you are using emulation, you are seriously missing out on how the game should be played. But you're absolutely right, ripping it yourself is best. ISO sucks, BIN/CUE is the format you wanna use for a Sega CD game. This is the best way to make sure that it will work.įixed that for ya.

make sure you are using an ISO rip BIN/CUE image from a copy of Sonic CD that you ripped yourself. Here is the most important thing that will help you: TuckettIII wrote:Hi everyone!
