Why is the *.bin/ *.cue format preferred for for Playstation images and would I loose something if rerip them in the *.iso format?
I'm pretty sure that ISO's don't cope so well with games that have CD audio tracks and you can end up without the appropriate music in your games...that's why Bin/Cue formats are often seen floating about as i believe that they cope better with those CD audio tracks.
Sounds like it. That or if you're really unlucky, it may not work at all. You know an iso is really just a container right? Why not make a copy, give ISO a try. If anything happens to destroy (not likely) your game then you have a backup. No harm done. I found bin/cue annoying myself, but just learned to deal with it. Good luck.
I've just put the FFVII disc one into my PC to check, and can confirm that there are NO separate CD audio tracks meaning that an ISO would be fine. It's those examples where you need a CDDA ripper that are the problem ones.
Out of curiosity, what was the second option on the PC version? You could choose from like, 'sound blaster' and then 'synthesized' something.
FF7's audio is MIDI-like, in that it's sequence data with samples (PSF format rips are available, after all). It's games with actual audio tracks that will run into issues, but these are not common.
