    Ok, so I'm trying to get a Saturn Emulator running on my PC.

    I downloaded Satourn (I think that's how it's spelt) from the Off-site emulators link here on Romulation.

    I got it all working, and got it to "put my game into the drive" by using the plugin to load ISO's, and I have a BIOS.

    My problem now, is that whenever I boot it up, it just takes me to a CD player type thing on the Saturn emulator, and just skips through random track numbers.

    It's as if it's reading the .bin file of the game as a CD.

    If anyone has any experience with it, please help me out. =]

    try loading the .cue file not the .bin. While the .bin is the data files for the game, the .cue contains instructions on how to read the .bin

    The emulator only wants me to choose either a .ISO or .BIN file.

    I gave it the .CUE file anyways, but it just gave the same result as putting the .BIN file in.

    I checked an emulator compatibility site, and it said that The Legend of Oasis (The game I'm trying to play) works with Satourn. =/

    when in doubt, convert to ISO.

    why they bother to have other file formats that have more than one file per image is beyond my logical reasoning.

    anyway, ISOs are easy to handle with emulators like that.

    .cue is mostly good for burning an image. Don't convert straight to ISO, mount the .bin image, then create a .iso image from that mounted image. It's the emulator at fault for not loading/playing certain image types properly, a more variety of choice is a lot better.
