tl;dr: I wanna emulate TG-16/TCD and Saturn, but don't know how.

I've got basic HuCard emulation working for TG-16, but I'm not 100% on what I have to do to get Turbo CD running. Right now I've got Ootake running and when I select ["CD-ROM Game] it says something about "SYSCARD.pce". I downloaded some zip files from a site: the first has a bunch of files named "CD-ROM System V[number].pce" and the other two contain the files "SYSCARD1.PCE" and "syscard2.pce". What EXACTLY am I supposed to do with these files? I was able to find Rondo of Blood in another thread on mega in a rar file and that contains a .bin file and a .cue file. Do I need to unzip these or do anything with them other than have them in the rom folder?

For Saturn I just downloaded SSF and have no idea what to even do with it.

Whenever someone says to me they liked a game, and they didn't use the original cartridge and console, do you know what I say to them?

I say "how do you know you like it? You haven't played it."

And they haven't. They've played a piece of programming attempting to replicate what the game is.

Whenever someone tells me that they liked a classic book, and they didn't read a hardback copy, do you know what I say?

I say "how do you know you like it? You haven't read it."

And they haven't. They've read a cheap mass market publication attempting to replicate what the book is.

Without the tactile experience, it's just not the same man.

Well, for what it's worth, I still have my old TG-16/CD in the garage, and I remember how it worked.

There was a game card that you had to put in to use the CD player. It looked like any other HUcard game, and once you put it in, the system would give you access to the CD player and you could start the game on the CD.

Based on that, I'm guessing you put that part where you normally put games.

What are you even saying? I'm trying to get Ootake to run Turbo CD games. Right now I have a .bin file that an anon uploaded in another thread. I have some BIOS files, but I'm not sure if they're the ones that I need. What EXACTLY do I need and where EXACTLY do I put it?

Booting CD games
1. First you need the TurboGrafx16-CD BIOS. Extract the BIOS from its zip file and toss it into Ootake's main folder.
2. Insert the CD game, if you haven't already.
3. Double-click on to open Ootake.
4. Ootake's famous confusing green window pops up (click the thumbnail towards the right). Disregard the weird unlegible symbols. Click on to load your TurboGrafx16-CD/Turbo Duo game.
5. Press whatever key you set for "Run" and the game will begin.

I use Turbo Engine, which can run most ISOs if you have a ROM image of the required System card. SYSCARD3 is required to run the Super CD-ROM2 library and an Arcade Card is required Arcade CD-ROM2.

Magic Engine is pretty good, but it's shareware and you're forced to use save states if you want to play more than five minutes of any game.

Read the documentation. That's how I learned to use it.

I guess it doesn't really expliticitly tell you the most magical trick - you run the games by dropping the cue file on the mednafen exe. But first you need to get the right BIOS file (that's mentioned in the documetation). Various settings are changed by edition the appropriate ini file (Notepad++ is a good editor, details are in the documentation).

Oh and you need the correct game rips - BIN/CUE format. But for PC Engine CD it's not really that picky, you don't need a rip with each track separated.

I'm attempting to use Mednafen with MedGui as included on this site: http://www.fantasyanime.com/emuhelp/emuhelp_mednafen.htm

I have a rar of Rondo of Blood that I downloaded from a link posted by an anon on this board. It has a .bin file and a .cue file. What do I do with the .cue file?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 3 12:52:58 2015 No.2447279 >>2447270 1. delete SyWOW64 2. rename the cue to 4chan.pce 3. drag and drop it onto Medgui, 4. ??? 5. Shit profit

Use Retroarch, Mednafen PCE core. Get the files (I think they have to be bin/cue) and load 'em, should work no problem.
I use Magic Engine for cards because it emulates things like the PCE turbo options on controllers. But I think Retroarch is your best best if you're this confused.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 3 18:30:41 2015 No.2447865 OK, I'm using Mednafen and I followed every instruction exactly and I even went and got the ISO of Rondo of Blood and nothing works. HuCard emulation is working fine, but Turbo CD emulation isn't working at all.

Anon, I left notes for how I opened Rondo of Blood in case I needed to do it again. I'll copy and paste from my retro log.

"However, there was a multi-console emulator called Mednafen. It plays PC Engine files. It also emulates pretty much everything under the fucking sun.

Problem?

It’s about as “user friendly” as a menstruating lioness.

This thing required a website just to understand it.

http://www.fantasyanime.com/emuhelp/emuhelp_mednafen.htm had everything I needed to know. Rather than the actual MedInst.exe program – which I thought would install the emulator – I had to open the GUI, MedGui.exe, in order to run the program properly. I select NEC PC/CD Engine and chose the CUE files that I downloaded – start it up – and we're good to go."

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 3 20:37:20 2015 No.2448121 >>2448116 Also worth noting that you use keyboard commands to do all of the configurations after you load the CUE files Alt + Enter makes it full screen and Alt + Shift + 1 allows you to configure your controller.
