Sega CD Backup
ripping to bin-cue restoring from bin-cue ripping to iso-mp3 restoring from iso-mp3
Programs used:
CDRWin 4.0A (February 2002)
1. Start CDRWin. Select Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors.
2. For extract mode, select Disc Image/Cuesheet
3. Under Reading Options, make sure RAW is *not* checked. I set Data Speed and Audio Speed at 1 setting below MAX, just for the heck of it.
4. Click the button next to the Image Filename box and enter a name for the files about to be created.
5. Click START, and let the program do its thing.
6. Go to the folder where you created the image. Find the new .cue file, and open it with a text editor. Edit out the path inside the quotes so just the filename is left.
There, you should have a proper full backup image of your cd.
Notes:
Creating a RAW image makes it more difficult to work with later, and isn't even
necessary for your Sega CD games. Don't do it. If you're going to create an
iso-mp3 rip from the image, you'll end up with a data track iso that is much
larger that it needs to be (like possibly 10x as much). Also, Nero may have
problems burning from a RAW image later when you want to restore it.
