Hi all,

I apologize if this question is covered somewhere. Please excuse me as I am a newbie to Magic Engine.

Question: When playing TG16 CD games on Magic Engine, do I have to use an original disc? I have a burned copy of a game that I made a long time ago but I can't seem to get the audio files to play during gameplay. The game is Beyond Shadowgate. Do the files need to be a specific format to play the audio files (mp3, wav, etc.)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason

Hi,

Magic Engine doesn't support ISO files, you'll have to burn your image on a CDR first. If you're trying to mount your image with something like Daemon Tools, chances are your audio tracks are in MP3/OGG format; you'll have to convert them to WAV and make sure the content of your cuesheet matches the names of your audio tracks.

But it's something beyond my scope, really. Some fine folks here know a lot more about making and restoring CD back-ups Smile

Thank you Kaminari for your quick response. I'll just have to find an original copy and use that. It's better that way.

magic engine does in fact support iso files...you can easily use daemon tools or alcholsoft to mount JUST the iso of most games...or the cue that points to the iso+wavs of the game...

As for lack of sound, that is an analog issue...Be sure that the option for analog sound is enabled in the Daemon tools if that is what you are using...And, I would most recommend an earlier version, such as 3.33 for best results...

THank you VERY much KMFDManic!

Magic ENgine is working perfect based on your suggestions and solutions. Yes, eventually I will move on to original CD's but for now I am using ISO-WAV to see if I like a game. If I do, I will definitely use the original version.

Thank you to all that helped (especially KMFDManic!)

Case resolved.

Jason
