What's wrong with this archive? [message #5602] Sat, 07 July 2018 15:23

First, thank you so much for Mednafen. It really takes the work out of running an emulation cabinet. This is what I run my emulators on. It's fun teaching my kids about the older systems.

I had a TurboGrafxCD as a kid growing up. I used to get in fights with my friend that owned a Genesis. His go-to argument was, "THE TURBOGRAFX CAN'T DO PARALLAX SCROLLING"

Ahh memories. I've waxed poetic enough.

There's this archive at archive.org. I spent several days downloading it, so if there's any way I can salvage it I'd like to.

None of the games from that archive work with mednafen. I've extracted them to their own folder. Let's use DraculaX as an example.

This is the command I use to launch it.

 D:\emulation\mednafen>mednafen -force_module pce "D:\roms\pcecd\Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo (Japan) (FABT, FACT)\Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo (Japan) (FABT, FACT).cue"


I just get a black screen when I run this version. I have another copy, and extracted it looks like this.

 03/20/2006  02:18 PM             1,462 Akumajou_Dracula_X_-_Chi_no_Rinne_(NTSC-J)_[KMCD3005].cue
03/16/2006  06:02 PM       518,997,024 Akumajou_Dracula_X_-_Chi_no_Rinne_(NTSC-J)_[KMCD3005].iso


This version works just fine.

So it's obvious these archives are arranged differently. One is a bunch of bin files referenced by a cue, the other is a single ISO with track times referenced by the cue. Is there any way of salvaging the archive.org set to work with mednafen?

Sorry for the wall of text btw. Just wanted to show that I've already gotten mednafen working, just not with this archive.
