Cybersled Sega Saturn :)

Got about 16 discs for a Sega Saturn Cybersled build. I use a MAC and somehow i cant get a saturn emulator work and no idea how to make a ISO file. The disc containt all kinds of stuff AVI's pictures logo's and all kind of files i never heard about

Why do i think this is a Sega Saturn Cybersled, see picture please. Documents, a some kind of rom (?) i na hex editor and a logo that is different i think ? no idea

So questions:

1. How to make a working Saturn ROM on a MAC need to make a ISO right ? Maybe for a lot of people this is very easy for this is a hard freaking job. No idea at all, tryed so much stuff.
2. How to get a fully working Sega Saturn Emulator. Could any one maybe send me one thats basicly plug and play ? (Again tryed a lot all bitching and giving me a hard time to even get started, no clue why)

 

This could give insight. I'm not an OS X user but this may be what you're looking for

As for ripping you can probably just use any normal program that creates a bin/cue or iso image assuming it's just a normal CD-R

 

I doubt that's a Saturn format CD - it's been a long time, but I think that .CPE file is the one used to control the operation of the Cross Products Mirage CD emulator - so it's highly probable that the files on the CD are the ones backed up from the emulator hard drive - the first thing to do is print out the .CPE file (It's just text) and make sure that you have all the assets referred to in it.

 

One great emulator for OS X (macOS now) is OpenEmu - http://openemu.org/ You will have to get BIOS of course, but it works very well!

In order to make an ISO on a Mac, you can use Disk Utility. You want to create an "image" of the disk. You can do this by highlighting the disc on the left side and then clicking File -> New Disk Image. Once complete, the image will have a ".img" extension, but you can just rename it to ".iso" and it will work the same. This will, however, go out the door per TriMesh's comment.

Just thought I would chime in. Hope this helps!

im very interested in this sega saturn game you speak of. never knew namco made saturn games.

 

I can confirm that Cyber Sled was in production for the Saturn because I've seen it running! It may have also been shown at the 1994 or 1995 CES show.

 

That's very interesting, hopefully we'll see it running one day!

 

According to my notes, CyberSled was to have been the first of several games Namco ported to the Saturn, but ended up being the only one they ever fully completed (Ridge Racer was on the way to becoming its follow-up) because Sony made them an offer to become what Sega would later call a "1.5 party" developer in the Dreamcast era. I'd genuinely given up hope of this one ever seeing the light of day - never mind several builds surfacing! I can't wait to see if it's possible to compare this with the PlayStation version...

 

thanks, first ripped all discs i have of them thats 18 in total. somehow i cant get a iso working and the emulators just dont work at all when trying to put in the bios

 

What

What type of errors are you getting? Maybe the discs need region coding.

 

pic 1: manage to make iso files of the discs. made a couple but keep getting this error. tryed different bios's

pic 2: What should i put in on the BIOS, MPEG ROM and Region to get the right set up

 

Very interesting indeed, I would love to see CyberSled running!

Could it be that the game is expecting a specific cartridge (RAM expansion for example) to be installed, and therefore the emulator should be configured accordingly?

Jolly

 

I doubt it as this game was previewed before Daytona was even shown in a 50% state. I remember the Saturn preview of Cyber Sled well. It did look quite solid.

 

I loved Cyber Sled in the Arcades. While the PS1 version is inferior, the ships might as well be pre-rendered with fewer frames than the original, I own it too. I don't think MAME worked right either the last time I tried it. I doubt Namco would have bothered to improve a Saturn port, but I really will love to see this one running. I'd really love to play it with my Twin Sticks!

 

Below is a proof that Cybersled was indeed being developed for Sega Saturn. This is an internal document from Namco. I found it in the Climax archives I bought from Steven78.

Quality is pretty bad, this is a scanned copy of a fax, good old 90's

Spoiler: Proof

 

My sega saturn senses are tingling.
They wrote it as if there was a build of the game lurking.
And now it is found.

 

any news ? i should be able to build a cd with cpe file if needed

 

nope nothing, cant get it to work.

 

i'm a saturn wizard i can make it boots.
