YOU ARE A GODSEND!!!
So, Let me tell what happened: I saw your post last night, and had little hope that what you'd say would help. Not because of your ability, but because of how technologically inept I am, I know I'll butcher something and basically lose my cool.
This morning, I get all the BIOS files in order, and had to do some deep digging to find the a European Copy of Sonic CD. This time, it was CHD file, which I never before (but remembered you saying it works just as great). Just in case, I grabbed the original files from the site I used (the ones I showed in the screenshot) and set them in the game folder as well. I did what you told me to do in the CUE file, and changed the file names to "SonicCD"
I load the SD Card into the slot and got prepared to be sent to the main screen, as per usual. I clicked the file... and something different happened. I saw the SEGA CD title screen load. Then Sonic shows up and he stands next to "SEGA PRESENTS..." Then... the Blue Blur showed up on the screen!!! It was like a childhood dream come true, man! (Oh, and technically nightmare. I just suddenly remembered the secret soundtest screen with the nightmare images.)*
I tried the other files, even clicking on them both. BOTH worked, and I learned then what the problem was. The problem was the copy of Sonic CD I had shown above was the US version, and I only had the EU BIOS set up, making it impossible for them to connect.
I'm going to test the other SEGA CD title I had planned, but... I don't have doubts now what I'll need to do/look for from now on, thanks to you, Rrifonas!
Seriously, you made my whole frickin' year. (and my upcoming birthday, pretty much.) I can't thank you enough!
*Side Note: Just realized now why people think and feel that the SEGA CD is a goofy piece of hardware. The "animation" sequence that plays when you don't press anything on the screen of Sonic CD, while impressive, was basically like watching a movie with Adobe Flash Audio and trying to watch into a screen 3x smaller than your TV, with pixels covering everything. I guess the "top of the line" hardware back then wasn't much, was it?

Oh, and by the way... about that SMT problem I had. I just learned that there was a port to it for the SEGA CD. Only downside is... it's all in Japanese. But... I guess beggars can't be choosers?
The stress of just trying to get SEGA CD to work, I don't think I'm up to try and get SNES going at this time, which was SUPPOSED to be simpler in my assumption. But... just to make sure; If the file for a SNES game download shows up as a ".SMC" or ".SFC" file extension, if I just change the extension to ".fig", it should be playable in theory, correct?
