Sega Saturn Patch Guide for Macs

Post by icedtrip »

I see that we lost a lot of posts around here. I was able to dig up the post I made here for patching on a Mac. See below for the original post:

-------

I can't believe I just joined this site...always lurked. Decided to get an account to post the below Sega Saturn patch guide for Macs. I answered a reddit question on this, so I figured others here may benefit from it too. Currently this has only been tested using El Capitan.

This will require you to be comfortable using the terminal, and ideally installing apps with brew.

You will need:

* AnyToISO Lite to rip the multitrack CDs - http://www.crystalidea.com/anytoiso
* Homebrew for bchunk and xdelta - http://brew.sh/index.html
* LiquidCD to burn patched cue/iso/wav - https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19994/liquidcd
* Policenauts Saturn English Patch - http://policenauts.net/english/

Install necessary apps:

* Install AnyToISO Lite, Homebrew, and LiquidCD using links above

* Install bchunk with brew for converting bin/cue files to iso/wav tracks

In terminal, run:

Code: Select all

brew install bchunk

* Install xdelta with brew for applying the patches to the ISOs.

In terminal, run:

Code: Select all

brew install xdelta
Ripping, Patching, and Burning Instructions:

1. Create a folder on your Desktop named "POLICENAUTS"

2. Extract all of the Policenauts Saturn English Patch files to the POLICENAUTS folder

3. Using AnyToISO, Select "CD/DVD Disk to ISO", and for each disk
- Choose your source drive (will likely be "Audio CD")
- Choose your POLICENAUTS folder as your destination and name the output "POLICENAUTS_#" (with # representing the disc number - 1, 2, 3)
- Select the "Create BIN/CUE image" radio button
- Click the "Create BIN/CUE image" button.

4. Open terminal and run:

Code: Select all

cd ~/Desktop/POLICENAUTS 
bchunk -w POLICENAUTS_1.bin POLICENAUTS_1.cue POLICENAUTS_1- 
bchunk -w POLICENAUTS_2.bin POLICENAUTS_2.cue POLICENAUTS_2- 
bchunk -w POLICENAUTS_3.bin POLICENAUTS_3.cue POLICENAUTS_3- 
xdelta3 -f -d -s POLICENAUTS_1-01.iso NautsSaturnENG-CD1.XDELTA POLICENAUTS_1-1.ENGLISH.iso 
xdelta3 -f -d -s POLICENAUTS_2-01.iso NautsSaturnENG-CD2.XDELTA POLICENAUTS_2-1.ENGLISH.iso 
xdelta3 -f -d -s POLICENAUTS_3-01.iso NautsSaturnENG-CD3.XDELTA POLICENAUTS_3-1.ENGLISH.iso
5. Rename the following files:
POLICENAUTS_1-02.wav > POLICENAUTS_1-2.wav
POLICENAUTS_2-02.wav > POLICENAUTS_2-2.wav
POLICENAUTS_3-02.wav > POLICENAUTS_3-2.wav

6. Using LiquidCD, choose "Others", then Disk Image, and for each disc
- Click the "Choose a disk image..." button
- Browse to your POLICENAUTS folder and choose the corresponding disc cue files from the patch download (POLICENAUTS_1.ENGLISH.cue, POLICENAUTS_2.ENGLISH.cue, POLICENAUTS_3.ENGLISH.cue)
- Click Burn and choose the slowest speed possible (mine goes down to 24x)
- Burn the image

The following are the final files you will need no matter how you choose to play them:

* POLICENAUTS_1.ENGLISH.cue
* POLICENAUTS_1-1.ENGLISH.iso
* POLICENAUTS_1-2.wav
* POLICENAUTS_2.ENGLISH.cue
* POLICENAUTS_2-1.ENGLISH.iso
* POLICENAUTS_2-2.wav
* POLICENAUTS_3.ENGLISH.cue
* POLICENAUTS_3-1.ENGLISH.iso
* POLICENAUTS_3-2.wav
