Okay, I got a Lunar: The Silver Star bin and cue file from the torrent 'Genuine and tested Sega CD USA images' (I don't want to pay $50+ on ebay ). I used CDRWIN to load the cue file and burn the disc at 4x (since it's a trial version, it actually won't let me burn any faster). I plop it in my Sega CD, turn it on, and press start. The Sega logo with Sonic appears, then I see the working designs logo, and the Lunar title screen. After that, nothing happens.

Just a black screen and the read light on the Sega CD isn't blinking. Same thing happens when I try to burn Popful Mail from the same torrent. The Sega CD works fine, I have a real copy of Bouncers that plays great.
Real audio CDs also play fine. I am using Yaiyo Yuden CD-Rs, as suggested by a thread I found:.
I have also tried multiple burners, the Lite-On burner in my own custom built PC, as well as the burner in my Mom's HP, both yield the same results. I don't know what's wrong.
Masterboy 2.10. I mainly bought the Sega CD for Pier Solar when it comes out, but I'd really like to play Lunar in the meantime. Hatta wrote:It's worth ripping the bin/cue to iso/wav and making another cue with Sega Cue Maker. I've gotten a few images to work that way. Have you tried playing a burned CD audio disc? That would at least show that the Sega CD can read your CDRs.
Though, I use TY CDRs with mine and have no problems. I just tried burning an iso+mp3 rip I downloaded from coolrom, I followed the inscructions here:, the only difference is I use imgburn instead of Nero.
It did the same exact thing, after the Lunar title, I just get a black screen. I'll try burning an audio CD now, but before I had the TY CD-R's, I had Sony CD-Rs. When I burned those and put them in the Sega CD, the game wouldn't start at all, so at least with these CD's I'm getting somewhere. Seeing as I've tried a bunch of different images, I would think at least one would work. I'm trying to test with an emulator, but Kega doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me. I downloaded a Sega CD bios (2.0, the bios my Sega CD has), set it in options >set config >Sega CD, then options >CD drive and set it to my clone drive (I use virtual clonedrive since Daemon doesn't work in Windows 7), then went to file and clicked boot Sega CD. I just get the background of the bios with the earth and the moon, no Sega logo or anything.
Edit: instead of burning an audio CD, I made a backup of my copy of Bouncers and burned it. It works fine, so I guess the problem must be with the images I am getting.
Though I don't know how both the bin/cue rip and the iso/mp3 rip I tried both didn't work.maybe I should try burning a game that isn't from working designs? So far the games I've tried are Lunar and Popful Mail. Oh and Silpheed too. Edit2: Okay, nevermind, the backup of Bouncers doesn't work. It gets to the menu and lets me start a game and select my character and level, but once the actual game is about to start, black screen. I tried it again and it seemed like it was going to work, the background is there and my character started to come on screen, then it just froze.
Edit3: Sonic CD works.although there's no music, only sound effects, which makes sonic pretty boring. I got Kega working, and loaded the Sonic image I burned, and there is music. I'm just wondering why I can play Sonic minus music, but other games won't even start up?
Now that I have the emulator working I might as well just play them on it.should have just done that in the first place instead of buying the Sega CD and these CD-R's I guess. Hopefully the CD that comes with Pier Solar will work.
Backups of Lunar the silver star freeze on an actual Sega CD system (it seems to run okay on emulators) around the opening FMV. The game isn't a normal ISO standard image so copying it doesn't work right. The original glass mastered disc always works fine. If ripped properly it will work. Yeah, but using standard disc copying software it won't it since as I said the original disc isn't an ISO complaint CD. That's the problem.
