Hi reicast team, thank you very much for adding support for Redump style bin/cue for GD-Roms last year. It was very kind and thoughtful of your team <3

Mil-CDs and Unlicensed games (Multisessional CD-Roms) being a different format, are defined in their own way in our sets, example:

REM SESSION 01
FILE "GameShark Video Game Enhancer - Upgrade Disk (USA) (Unl) (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM SESSION 02
FILE "GameShark Video Game Enhancer - Upgrade Disk (USA) (Unl) (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

As TOSEC is also considering using the same-style cues as us when they add multisessional CD-Roms to their Dreamcast sets. So I figured now would be a good time to ebeg your team to add support.

If you wish to test with bins, a few examples are searchable archive.org: "GameShark CDX (USA) Dreamcast" and "Cheats 'N Codes Volume 1 (USA) Dreamcast"

Please consider adding support if time provides. Thank you for the consideration. Keep up the great work.

Will try to fit in 20.04/20.04b.

Thanks for the heads up

@DimitrisVlachos @stjordanis @einsteinx2 can any of you looking into extending our cue parser in imgread?

skmp commented 4 years ago

Hum, might actually do it for today's live stream

skmp commented 4 years ago

I'll do that

skmp commented 4 years ago

@dizzzy77 is there some CUE spec I can review somewhere? I'll do some guesswork but hacky code is hacky

REM SESSION designates the session of the multisessional disc being called. As I understand both sessions need to be mounted similar to how you mount LD and HD areas in the Redump GD-Rom cues.

Below are the cues for all of the Dreamcast multisessional discs in redump:

REM SESSION 01

    INDEX 01 00:00:00

@dizzzy77 so the spec is EITHER REM SESSION or REM SINGLE DENSITY or whatever?

skmp commented 4 years ago

also kind of confusing that the format doesn't have a version field like REM REDUMP v1 on top. Very hard to keep compat with other .cue files - the code ends up nasty :/

dizzzy77 commented 4 years ago

For GD-Roms: REM SINGLE-DENSITY AREA / REM HIGH-DENSITY AREA

For multisessional CD-Roms: REM SESSION 01 / REM SESSION 02

Thanks.
