cd backup problem

[rlandragon]

i have read much of the site reguarding burning and such of backups.. i have a game called panic and the orignal is well it got broke from a snobby nephew. and i wanted to play it on the console so i found a backup,. burned it with the cue file like read in tutorials but it loads past the sega screen but no music nor does the same start.. ive tryed diffrent cd's [got a lot to spare] and all did the same thing.. anyone got a idea on how to fix it?

Many backups don't come with the music tracks. When you see a SEGA backup with the music tracks, the tracks are usually MP3 encoded to save space. Make sure your burning app will write the tracks from the MP3s as well. Sometimes, you might be required to convert the MP3s into WAVEs before burning.

Also, the SEGA CD is a very old 1X CD drive. Make sure to use a write speed that doesn't change speeds abruptly. For example, if you write a CD at maximum speed, most CD burners today will burn part of the disc at a lower speed, then jump to a faster speed part of the way through, then yet another faster speed a little further on, and so forth. That's why most guides say to just burn the CD at the lowest speed possible. That causes the burner to not jump the speed up every so often.

i have tryed that using cdwin, at 1x, nero at the lowest it could go 4x . magic iso and other ones they dont work gives me the same problem and the cue has been done in wav form and mp3

Make sure you have the burning program set to convert wav to red book CD audio. (some burning programs will even convert mp3 files)

most i find are already done with the cue file but ones ive used seem to work on emulator but not on the orignal console
