Snes Station working! :)

Hi,

just wanted to give everyone a 'heads up' that I got Snes Station working on my PS2 without having to burn it using Nero. Here's what I did (after having Snes Station emulator and game ROMs):

Use Nero 5.x (stupid thing won't burn) to create an .nrg file of my Emulator and ROMs. The emulator has to be the main file, and the ROMs should be put into a sub folder. The emulator file will break down into a few smaller files (search on this website to find the Snes Station / PGen guides to see how to break down the files and recollect them).

After creating an .NRG file of your Em and ROMs, just open ImgBurn (or DVD Decrypter - I think it's pretty much the same thing, if not, I suggest using ImgBurn). Make Sure the type of Disc you're using is a CD (NOT RW) type (Not DVD, I wasted 17 (yes, seventeen) DVD+R's and CD-RW's together trying to figure out how to burn this little program without having to buy Nero 6.

Anyway, I used a CD-R. Open the .NRG file using ImgBurn, and click on the little Write icon thingo. ImgBurn will show it's writing an .NRG file to the disc, whether or not it makes it an .ISO is beyond me, but it sure works, so I don't care.

Anyway, just thought this might be a helpful tip for someone who doesn't have Nero, and is interested in playing the Snes roms on PS2.

Haven't tried it with PGen or any other emulators yet (only Snes Station).

One small problem that I've encountered is, I don't think there's any sound. In the opening disclaimer from Snes Station, music is playing, and all's well. But when I played F-Zero, there was no sound at all. Title screen, gameplay, nothing. But, that's the only rom I've tried out, could just be that one rom.

Who knows.

Anyway...

Peace!

Hmm, I started Playing Raiders of the Lost Arc on Snes Station... No sound on this either... Does anyone know what I did wrong, if I did something wrong?

And how to fix it?

Nevermind - found the problem. Goitta press Triangle in the Snes Station screen to access Options menu, in there the Sound to the Games is turned off, you have to turn it on.

'Cause I'm retarded enough to *not* figure out how to use Nero to burn it. :)

I'm using Nero express - I was using Nero 5 to make the images - and the media I was using to burn to was DVD+R (which, I guess the Snes Station doesn't work on DVD's) and CD-RW (which, my PS2 wouldn't read). So the entire time I thought it was just my Nero program, and that it wouldn't burn - but you could clearly see information written to the disc when you flip it over.

But now I've switched to Nero Express (like mentioned above), and this one has a more 'friendly' GUI (I think it sucks), and it's worse than Nero 5.

But! I've just went and bought a 100 pack of CD-R's, and the PS2 reads these fine...

I guess I could try burning to a CD-R now using Nero 5 and see if it works that way, couldn't I?

I'll let ya know if it works, in the mean time, the previously mentioned process works great!

Yeah... Nero Express burns 'em. I still think this one sucks though - it's too..... 'Bubbly'. Like it was made for a kid or something...

Anyway - Pgen and Snes Station both work great. I also got that one called 'Dream Spec', kinda like old Atari games, if anyone's old enough to remember those (I am... Only barely though).

Peace.
