Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute - Saturn games on Steam #36

The Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute games (COTTOn 2, COTTOn Boomerang, Guardian Force) are supposedly emulated Saturn games. Which means that the games and the BIOS should be in there somewhere. The Steam version are probably the easiest one to work with, but they are also available on Xbox, PS4/5 and Switch.

I hope someone is able to figure this out as I would love to extract this games as well as all the bios that are included in it. The game is getting hammered hard for bare minimum effort put into the port along with the heavy input lag. Finding the games ISOS and all bios files included in this release would go a long way for the availablity to play these games on a modern emulator.

The .bin and .cue files are just lying inside the main directory, no need to extract them. I tried emulating them but I can't get them to work. My guess is it's because of Japanese gibberish in the .cue files. Maybe with proper .cues they'll work but I have no experience with Saturn emulation.

I wonder if there is a way to edit .cue files to match the .bin file to allow it to run in Saturn emulators. Hopefully someone will come along and figure this out.

Can someone upload the .cue file so people can take a look

Actually, It's not Japanese gibberish, both bin and cue are encrypted. There's nothing you an do unless someone decrypts them. Just stick to normal roms instead of this garbage release.
