darkskwirl Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Hello all... I am having a lot of trouble with Sega CD and Daemon Tools. I have DT working with Sega Saturn thanks to Gigapigs walkthrough but am unable to get Sega CD up and running. I have all the paths mapped correctly as far as 7Zip, DT, Roms and Fusion. I get to the screen where it says "No disk". I am able to get my files working outside of HLHQ by mounting the file, starting Fusion, then selecting boot sega cd. That is the only way it will actually run. I downloaded a few games from PD just to toy with and they are in .CCD format. Most prefer bin/cue but these (I thought) would be simpler. The settings are DT=True, Use SCSI= True, I have the correct drive listed in Fusion as well. If I leave "Computer" open while waiting for HLHQ to start Sega CD, I can see that there is never any image being mounted... am I missing something entirely stupid or am I losing my mind. I have tried numerous methods from all the reading I have done (Turning of DT, Turning off SCSI, Unzipping files, leaving them Zipped... nothing seems to work) Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I just don't understand why Daemon Tools will not mount the image from within HLHQ. I also noticed that within DT, when I go through HLHQ there is nothing showing up in "Recent Images". I am using Fusion V3.64 HLHQ V 3.0.0.9 Please help! -DS
darkskwirl Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 I guess I am alone in this... I will post something when I figure this out. I have been checking more things and trying different combinations all day but to no avail...
Dime333 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I wish I could help. I know how frustrating it can be when you can't get things to work. Good luck with this.
DamnedRegistrations Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 You could always just use RetroArch instead with the Gen Plus core. It doesn't even require Daemon Tools to run CD based games and I've never had any problems with it.
showstopper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 You dont need DT for sega CD. I run all of these through fusion. How to update HyperLaunch
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 @damnedregistrations - That is my next option... I think I will just give that a shot, it can't hurt. EDIT: RetroArch doesn't originally support CCD, but I will try anyway and add that in. @showstopper - Do you have the ccd files or bin/cue? I am not sure why but I have read you do not need DT if you have one or the other. How do you have it set up in HLHQ? I got the ccd files thinking that was the case, rather upsetting! I really think these CCD files are what's killing me. I really do not get why nothing is being mounted or opened! Thanks for the replies!
showstopper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I have the bin/cue files. How to update HyperLaunch
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 I thought so... I may have to scrap these and grab them. This is a nightmare, just tried RetroArch (that was not fun to set up) and Gens. Neither worked... How upsetting. These were from PD and "HS Ready"... sigh
gigapig Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Yep Showstopper is quite right, I never realised it myself but DT is not needed, just tested it. Mine are zipped bin and cue files.
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 I just downloaded a few bin/cue files to test. I was remoted in to my computer at home (as I am at work), right when the download finished and I was getting ready to test, my home internet connection went down. SMH. This is a sign that this was just not meant to be. I just wanted to play Lunar again. ARGH! Edit: Thanks for that Sega Saturn walk through, I got that up and running and figured this would be just as smooth, boy was I wrong!
gigapig Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Just noticed that your on 3.0.0.9, you might want to upgrade 3.0.1.1 and also HLHQ up to 1.0.13.0
showstopper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah I got mine from BG. I offered to up my set on PD but they didnt want it - all of them are bin/cue. How to update HyperLaunch
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Do you think that may have any effect on this situation, I noticed that but wasn't sure how that may effect things. Really, didn't want to have to fix everything LOL
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 I don't get it... some people on there say it works fine, others have problems. I'm lost!
showstopper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I don't get it... some people on there say it works fine, others have problems. I'm lost! Yeah not sure. I managed to get an invite to BG but there are not many people there and so it is VERY hard to build a ratio up. Im gonna look into a seedbox soon and then try to up my ratio there. How to update HyperLaunch
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah not sure. I managed to get an invite to BG but there are not many people there and so it is VERY hard to build a ratio up.Im gonna look into a seedbox soon and then try to up my ratio there. Good idea. I like to download a few files and test before I download monster torrents, one torrent can kill a ratio quick!
gigapig Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Just a tease, sorry. The above I got working normally no problem, but the other one "Lunar - Eternal Blue (USA)" does not work even if I extract it and load it into fusion. All I get is the CD Bios screen.
darkskwirl Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Wow... that's just plain mean! I will get it, if that's the only game I get I don't care!
darkskwirl Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 I have Lunar... I was not able to get the CCD Games working but I downloaded a few bin/cue games just to try and sure enough, it fired up first try without hesitation... so if this happens to anyone else, I gave up on the CCD!
Frogger Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Hi Has anyone managed to get the CCD files to open up?
lovemaker72 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 @Dark- Get the CUE file pack from PD if you are having ccd issues. Can you create a SCSI drive in DT Lite directly? I found that some versions wouldn't allow a SCSI drive to be created and the module would silently fail.
