.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.

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!

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.

yes, I'm speakin about that cable. But there are 12.30£ for shipping cost...really expensive! It cost in total 30£...it means about 35 euro for a cable...

Yeah, I was gonna mention that. CloneCD has an option to write a CUE file, but it's off by default. If CCD pirates were smart, they made sure to turn it on to have that option. The .img file is technically the same track data as .bin, just that when you use the .CUE file, the .sub subchannel data file gets ignored which is needed for 1:1 duplication to defeat some copy protection schemes and for paranoid perfectionist pirates who won't accept anything less, heh.
I dunno... If he produced a standard RGB signal prepped for a SCART cable, but changed his board significantly enough to remove said caps/resistors due to the popularity of a particular cable that added them inside for a Sega console, then it's not ideal to copy that issue for just those cable owners, but I get the justification of why he did so.
I would rather pester on encoding a HDMI signal for lag-free pure digital quality... I threw more CRT tubes out last year, they're heavy, they're hot, they X-ray you, etc., and I really love what LG has done with their IPS 4K panels, they're beautiful! If you got the change to spend, then their OLEDs are even better, no backlight, so pure blacks, pixel is either on or off!
Anyway, yeah, that would be on my wishlist for enhancements, tap the digital video signal for encoding to the HDMI standard. I know it's too late at this stage, but that's what I'd want to really tempt me into a purchase.

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.

There is an easy way
Mount your desired image with daemon tools.
Dump it to bin/cue with imgburn

Neosd what do you think about bin+cue image from emuparadise compared to the one with multiple .bin from redump.org for example ?
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.

If neodev dosen´t minds, i will add that redump.org are verified dumps with crc32 database, this makes this preservation project so great.
Same dump is submited from more than one person and it gets verified.
Emuparadise dumps may come from elsewhere, so those dumps may not be correct cause they may get corrupted in any stage before those arrive at emuparadise.
BTW i am not saying emuparadise dumps are bad, but no one can be sure if those are good aswel.

I an tell you from experience that Emuparadise ISOs are all over the place when used on real hardware. There are just so many bad dumps on the internet, it's ridiculous. Personally I usually looked at ISOzone specifically for the more recent bin/cue files, those typically work perfectly. I wasn't aware of redump.org before this project though so that probably will be the way to go from now on.
That said, most of the issues with ISOs on real hardware is that the copied CD isn't a perfect 1:1 recreation of the original, which causes seek problems for the CD-ROM. This probably won't affect the SD3 at all and would work just fine.

Already answered..Not in the initial release, however it will work if the IMG file also has a CUE file.
Regarding redump..they look to be a great resource, but they are missing a lot of games currently. Hopefully the SD3 will help the project get more complete.

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

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.

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.

I agree, plus it's the only solution for those who still have Duo's.

Cool stuff, thanks for the explanation!
Thing is I was thinking about buying one just recently and then this showed up. Bought it straight away. Since my CD-Rom2 died this is just perfect
