i got this iso+mp3/cue of sonic R and virtua fighter 2 for the PC. These games have there cd audio converted to mp3s in the file zip i downloaded. Problem is the guy used cdrwin to make specially package it, and cdrwin wont detect my cd-r.
i tried using nero to reconstruct by loading the cue filesbut the game does not have cd-audio tracks when i make a virtual image with image recorder.
here is what the dude says in his readme.
Quote:OK here are four easy steps to make an ISO+MP3/CUE:
1- Make an ISO file only from the data track of the game. I recommend to use "Nero" to do this. (Select Recorder/Save tracks..., select the drive you'll use and in "output file format" select ISO instead of NRG).
2- Extract the music tracks to mp3. I use MusicMatch Jukebox... but I know it's not much professional xD.
Make sure the sofware that you use don't remove the silence at the end of the tracks! The mp3 quality must be at least 160 kbps. Test the mp3 files and be sure there are not annoying noises before putting it on the internet!!! (Any noise is annoying)
3- Create the CUE file manually.
Move the mp3 files and the ISO to a same directory and create there a new text file.
This file will be the CUE file after editing it.
To learn how to make a CUE file from 0 read the help of CDRWin. (Advanced Topics/How to write a CUE SHEET file/...) I recommend you to see the examples. If you don't understand somthing just ask me.
After doing all this work, change the extension of the file from TXT to CUE. Also change the name of the file to other more appropriate.
4- Now check if it work. The only way to burn the CD will be using CDRWin because Nero will not recognize the CUE. So start CDRWin: click on record disk/Load Tracks, load your CUE, and if you don't get an error the file is probably good. Now you have the option to burn it.
The step 3 will be probably the most hard to do, and you can miss some track or something.
Here is an example of CUE file:
FILE "example.iso" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "02example.mp3" MP3
TRACK 02 AUDIO
PREGAP 00:02:00
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "03example.mp3" MP3
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "04example.mp3" MP3
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Is there any special setting on Nero i could use to get this to work. Or is there and alternative to cdrwin i could use?
Whoa whoa... hold on a sec.... CUE files are for BIN images not ISO images. Thats the first major issue. Secondly, although you can create a CUE for a (BIN) cd-image like that with notepad or what not, you will have to create an individual one for each possible cd-image because not all cd-images have 4 tracks of audio and not all of them have them as CD+EXTRA or Mixed-Mode. A better and simpler solution would be to use a CUE Creator (google it) or to use CDMage (free) to create one:
You can create CUE files for BIN images by first drag-and-dropping the BIN file onto CDMage. It will popup a dialog box asking you to specify the interpretation format. Trial and error will get one to to successfully open the image. Once it is opened, File --> Save As and give it a new name. CDMage will resave the BIN file but now also include a CUE file to go with it.

i would also think so too, but i have downloaded several pc engine games (an old cd console)consisting of iso+mp3/cue specially packaged (60MB) and have been able to recreate the full cd just by loading the cue file in Nero and then either writing to a cd or using a virtual image.
This situation is similar i have 1 .iso file (data track) several mp3s (audio tracks) for the pc games (packaged like this to super compress for easy downloading), and Nero accepts the cue file BUT when i create the image and install the game mounting the image in image drive the game does not see the audio tracks when i run it and i get no cd audio (but the game runs)
Perhaps what you are supposed to do is to first burn the data ISO and then burn the MP3 cue? (or the other way depending on whether it is a CDExtra or MixedMode).
What title was this that you were tyring to burn? :-)
