I made a tech support thread so we can stop talking about this in here. http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showt...ystem3-RGB-Tech-Support&p=4257208#post4257208
Back on track then with an unanswered question from earlier. Will there be any entertaining the support of .CCD files? It seems to be the one other prevalent uncompressed file format used on the interwebs.
.CCD is not planned for the first firmware release, as there is little benefit of that format over .cue .
We have noticed some dumps that have .ccd and .cue files in them, and they work fine, the .img file of clonecd is readable with an appropiate .cue in those dumps.
in the UK (and Europe I guess):

Both will sell you proper MD2 RGB cables that will work.
HD Retrovision cables also will work with no changes needed.
thanks, but on retrogamingcables it cost about 30£ with shipping cost...really expensive
Does anyone know a different shop where to buy a cheaper one with resistors and capacitors?
this one is cheaper:

The more expensive one is fully shielded (which may give less interference, but it is the "Rolls Royce" of cabling from them.

Thanks for the update, NeoSD. You made the right decision IMO.
Hmm..interesting. Apparently there is a ccd2cue program out there that may convert the ccd file to cue..that may be the answer. Will have to look into that. Thanks!
I've used that tool with varying degree of success when dealing with CCD images, so use it at your own risk and always keep a backup of the original image. If something ends up not working, it's highly likely the conversion is at fault.
Neosd what do you think about bin+cue image from emuparadise compared to the one with multiple .bin from redump.org for example ?There is an easy way
Mount your desired image with daemon tools.
Dump it to bin/cue with imgburn

is there any noticeable difference ? music quality or something else ....
We have tried both formats and there is no difference (apart from a bug we had parsing the .cue files from redump.org, due to pregaps IIRC). The data should be identical, as both have uncompressed audio. The only difference is that all the tracks are in one big file, or separated in a file for each track, but data should be the same.

Will this device work with TruRip disc dumps? (CCD, IMG, SUB)
New question. Is the Hu Card of Populous supported properly? It apparently uses extra RAM. Not sure the specifics, but earlier iterations of the Everdrives had issues with it.
Never heard about a HuCard with extra Ram, sounds interesting! With this device coming up, I'm glad I never picked up the pcengine everdrive. Hope something similar comes for the segaCD eventually

It's still worth buying, especially if you dont pick up an SSDS3 in the immediate future.
Playing CD games like this is a godsend, but the ED can keep you occupied until then.
Upon further googling it utilizes a systems internal RAM (if it has it) in order to save games. The reason why it failed on earlier Everdrives is that they didn't have any RAM to store the game...so if you played the game on a CoreGrafx, SuperGrafx, etc without a CD attachment the game didn't work. Since the SD3 is a defacto CD attachment it probably works. Supposedly it is the only game that uses this arrangement.
