Yeah, I use chd now for anything that supports it, saves about half the storage space.
On Windows: Daemon Tools + Windows Media Player. Couldn't be easier.Extracting and converting the audio files from Bin/Cue is a whole different beast. In fact CDmage is the only program i know of that can do the task.
They completely do exist. I think you got things very mixed and confused, friend. You don't have to find ISO files exclusively. All CD and DVD virtual images can ALWAYS be whatever format if there was the need to, no matter what. CUE+BIN, ISO, CCD+IMG, CDI, NRG, it just doesn't matter.I understand, but the issue is finding ISO images, i don't think they exist any longer.
I looked for Bang Busters and Treasure of the Caribbean all over the net and came to realize, ISO images no longer exist. You will only find Bin/Cue in a 3-4 hour ISO hunt. Maybe they exist tucked away 8-10 pages deep but they are not readily available

But what whole different beast, man? Don't insist on CDMage, there is no need at all to use it! I just told you Winamp rips MP3 from CD tracks, quick, painless, easy. Probably even Foobar2000 does it. No Audacity either, unless you really want to, for whatever slow reason, manually do file compression one by one.Thanks for the info. Never crossed my mind to try Daemon Tools. CDmage extracts the audio to .pcm and Audacity is the only program i use that will handle raw audio.
Just curious, do you still have to pay a license on Windows Media Player for MP3 ripping, or was that scrapped? Last WMP I used regularly was with 98 and early XP days.On Windows: Daemon Tools + Windows Media Player. Couldn't be easier.
You know what's funny? I also use a Win7 PC for all of those purposes you mention, LOL (except emulating Wii, haven't done that in a long while).I use WinCDEmu and UltraISO to mount and neither program would allow me to extract (or even detect) the audio tracks for both games i mentioned earlier.
Yes, i extract and compress CHD on a regular basis. I have mounted, burned, extracted probably a few thousand images over time. Converted probably 50,000 audio files over time and at one time or another used nearly every program you mentioned with the exception of WinAmp and TotalMounter (never heard of that program).
As i said before, i believe i was ripping ISO files in 2016 when i put my NeoCD set together and don't remember those being such a pain. Maybe these 2 unlicensed games were the issue but i do have both playing 100% on NeoCDRX.
The PC i use for all Game/Wii, Photoshop, ripping, burning, etc., has Windows 7 installed. I know at some point I'll be forced to move away from 7 but 10 was nothing but problem after problem for me, so i went back to 7.
Anyhow, thanks for everything you do for the community my friend.
@niuus , I was just wondering after looking for information about "Xeno Crisis" (which I had forgotten is a "new" game from 2021, not an original game from back in the day) : is it possible the developers of the game might have simply ignored the "don't put any important info within the 8-16 dots area in the corners" rule?You would never notice in games like Metal Slug, but the minute you start playing Xeno Crisis and see the intro, you'll immediately notice the dialogues being cut at the left side (score is affected too, as it is glued to the left border, the CRT overscan area).
I've just turned on wife's computer, installed Daemon Tools and mounted image, then Windows Media Playes appeared and started to play. There were option to rip disc, and MP3 wan an option. Haven't payed for anything.Just curious, do you still have to pay a license on Windows Media Player for MP3 ripping, or was that scrapped? Last WMP I used regularly was with 98 and early XP days.
I use Linux on my computer, and can tell more about Linux envoriment. Well, CUE/BIN support under Linux is a crap, and it was easier to use wife's computer
Hi @SaulFabre. You arrived very late to the party with this one. I did a build much before while researching, and even Ploggy did another one a little more than a full month ago, you could have just built his source and credit him, as you copied his changes to your fork without any mention.Hey all,
(also pinging @niuus)
For those wanting to play BIN+CUE games of NeoGeo CD (and maybe CHD), i tried to compile today a Wii version of the NeoCD emulator for Libretro (RetroArch).
In my first tests, it works fine, but you need a Wii Classic Controller for be able to use this emulator correctly.
I have only tested Neo Drift Out - New Technology (Japan) and despite the repentine slowdowns and tiny FPS drops, it works fine.
I had to modify a bit original NeoCD Libretro code for allow me to compile to Wii (basing on the implementation on Wii U), which i will share the source in a few hours.
This is intended to be used along as a companion and/or alternative to NeoCD RX, and also possibly for WiiFlow users that want NeoGeo CD games on their WiiFlow library.
Gonna post the build in a few hours.

Posted the build and source of NeoCD for Wii (RA Wii) here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/unoffic...core-for-the-wii-powered-by-retroarch.630584/
* Updated the script to take the folder's name with [square brackets] in it (litteral path)
* now using ffmpeg.exe to convert *.wav -if found- to 320kbps MP3
Did you mean the Homebrew Browser / Open Shop Channel?Amazing work done again
When will this version be available in the Homebrew channel ?

Hello everyone,the translation for samurai shodown rpg was released, black screen after the intro credits, someone made it work?
Also try booting it in NeoCD-Libretro Wii if it's really an emulation issue...Hello everyone,
Just in case you were using a different "version" of the game, I converted the translated "bin+cue" copy into a "files+MP3" one, as I believe this emulator can only use that type of architecture for NeoGeo CD games.
You can download it here, if it helps :
Samurai Shodown RPG (Eng - ThePriceofReason v.01.00) - Files+MP3
However, I too am stuck at the credits intro, followed by a black screen:

I don't think it's an emulation issue, as both original and French translated versions work.
But using your Wii isn't the ideal way of experiencing the game anyway for now : as both the aforementioned versions have trouble displaying the text (it gets overlaid by the window).
Maybe for a later release? I'll leave a message to the translator since we follow each other on Twitter about the booting issue, but know that the same version of the game ran perfectly for me on Retroarch, so let's not be too demanding !
Yours truly.
