PS These load up with swap magic the same way as any other backup loads up.

Oooh! Its been a while since I've done this ah well here goes!
Here you'll need this;
http://www.zophar.net/utilities/ps2dev.html

Right I'm taking into account that you already have PGen files (System.CNF and ELF files), some roms that you can put into a directory, , swap magic 3.6 CD PAL, ISObuster and a blank CD-R.

First off I am doing all the hard work for you but I will explain what I am doing as I am making this to run with Swap magic 3.6 CD PAL.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DO NOT OWN SWAP MAGIC 3.6 CD PAL VERSION THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO DO STEPS 1-3 YOUSELF.

1. Insert Swap magic 3.6 CD and open up ISOBuster to view all containing files.

2. Next to the SYSTEM.CNF you will see a column that says LBA write the amount down that refers to the SYSTEM.CNF. (267431) WRITE THIS NUMBER DOWN.

3. Next hover the mouse over the CD icon at the top left hand corner and this will display the LBA (length) in the bottom left corner. (318933) WRITE THIS NUMBER DOWN.

Now you can close ISObuster

4. Now open up CDGEN and then drag and drop the PGENS SYSTEM.CNF and ELF files (in that order).

5. Now right click on the SYSTEM file and click on edit, tick the box 'fix LBA' and change this number to the first number you wrote down.

6. Next make a new folder anywhere on your computer and label it 'ROMS' now drag all genesis roms that you are wanting into this folder and then drag and drop into CDgen. See where it says LBA at the bottom you cannot exceed the second amount that you wrote down so you will have to remove some roms if it exceeds the amount.

7. Now once you are done click on the IMG button ( this might take a little time depending on how fast your computer is, pour yourself a nice cold beer nearly done).

8. Now you see what it has created an image file and a cue sheet now go to Alkohol and burn an image like you usually would (sorry can't remember Alkohol's interface as its a while since I last used it)

PS Also can't remember whether alkohol requires you to burn cue sheet or image, but if the options there always pick the cue sheet.

Hope this helps
