I'm trying to apply the English patch found here for Sega Games Can Vol. 1 but the readme says

First you will need to obtain image files of the Game Can discs. Hopefully
they will be split into tracks rather than a single file. If not, you will
need to extract the data track, which must be Mode 1 / 2048 bytes per block.

Now I own this game so I'm ripping it myself but my problem is that programs either want to rip the game into a .bin file with a .cue file or want to just rip the audio tracks and don't see the data track.

When I open the .cue file with Notepad I can see the data track in the text. But when I open the .bin (and game disc) with DaemonTools, the files in no way look how they're listed in the .cue. It's mostly a ton of .bins, a text document saying copyright Sega, and a couple of unspecified "Files" that don't match the filesize of what I'm supposed to be patching.

So I either need a ripping program that will rip Track 01 (the game data track) from the disc or a program that will let me extract that track from the .bin.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. I used a program called PerfectRip to rip the game. This ripped all the tracks individually yet still included a .cue

2. I still couldn't patch the game file (Track 01) because it was ripped as Mode 1/2352 when it needed to be Mode1/2048. I don't even know what any of that means but I know I needed to fix it.

3. I used a program called CDMage to change the file from 2352 to 2048. I opened the Track 01 file in CDMage, clicked Extract... and changed the mode to 2048 and then saved.

4. I was then able to patch and play the game in English... but the disc itself is missing a lot of sound because I only patched the data track.


So my goal now is to figure out how to combine this data track with the music tracks so I can burn this to a disc and play it on my Sega CD. It's NOT as easy as simply renaming the new Mode 1/2048 data track the same thing as the old one and changing the .cue to read 2048 instead of 2352, because I tried that and it didn't work.

I'll report back with my progress.

It seems to me that everything you need to do ought to be possible with ISO Buster.  Open the bin/cue (or the disc itself) and extract the data track as User Data (.iso, I think) – the Help file appears to indicate that is Mode1/2048, as opposed to Raw Mode1/2352 – and extract all the audio tracks as .wav.  Apparently it will create a .cue file for you too.

In order to recreate the original bin/cue from that, I think you'll need imgburn or a similar image creation utility.  I hope that makes sense.

Thanks, I got it all figured out.

I'm not ever sure I remember what I did at the end there but I now have the game patched and with all the music working.

Now I just have to try to replicate my success once I get Sega Games Can Vol. 2 in the mail
