how do i load a sega cd image?

[Jamfus]

Hi,
Im using fusion, and i grabbed a couple .cue images from the site, but it just sits there when i try to load and play the game. i know it has to be something stupid i dont know how to do. this is my first time trying to play a sega cd game. been playing genesis games with this for years with no issues. just not sure why this is being a pain. any help is appreciated.
thanks

I just tested my file for Flink and it works fine, what specific game are you having issues with so I can try it.

I always say to first check if your bios files are present - I usually forget

good point! its been ages, i dont remember if i had to put the bios files there myself or not.

those are the files i have in my bios folder.
track these down or any you are missing and try again maybe?

Does your cdrom image have a cue sheet? Sometimes it won't work with just binaries

Yes, you need sega CD bios. I am not aware of an emulator for sega cd that does not need it. You need bios_CD_U.bin I believe? Others might work?

Is also correct. You should have a .cue sheet with a bunch of binaries in the same folder.

@Jamfus
I did test the shining force sega cd rom from RGT loads and runs fine on mine so it does look like you need the bios file.

Make sure to set the external back up RAM properly, or you'll have trouble later on.
