| | + | == Mega CD emulation == |
| | + | |

| | + | |
| | + | 2) When using ISO image files, WAV files should be provided as AUDIO track files. You can |
| | + | either load a CUE file pointing to a specific ISO file and containing all the needed information |
| | + | about AUDIO tracks files or directly load the ISO file. In the latter case, the emulator will first |
| | + | look for a .CUE file with the same base name, then if no CUE file is found, it will |
| | + | automatically look for .WAV files respecting one of the following naming format (“XXX” being |
| | + | the .ISO filename and NN being the track number): “XXXNN.wav”, “XXX NN.wav”, “XXXNN. |
| | + | wav”, “XXX – NN.wav” or “XXX_NN.wav”. Please note that compressed audio files |
| | + | (such as .mp3, .mpc, .wma, .ogg, etc) are NOT supported. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3) When using BIN images files, audio tracks are generally stored within the image file. A CUE |
| | + | file is therefore required with all the needed information about audio tracks location. You can |
| | + | either load the CUE file pointing to the specific BIN file or directly load the .BIN file. In the |
| | + | latter case, the emulator will automatically look for a CUE file with the same base name as |
| | + | the BIN file. |
