Sonic CD beta music trouble

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, so staff please move it to the right one if it's not. Anyway I just downloaded Sonic CD betas 510 and 712. With 510 no music plays just the sound effects play. Should the game play like that? It doesn't seem right to have no music. Also beta 712 only plays music in the past, it doesn't play any other music. Should the game play like that? Sonic CD final plays just fine, so I don't know what the problem is.

 

The music is MP3 based. The music isn't included in the downloads for the Protos to save space. I think just put the protos in the same folder as the final with all the MP3s and it should work.

 

I don't think it's going to work. How will the game have access to those MP3's? It's contained within the emulator. And as far as I know, the music for the past is in PCM format, but the others in Red Book Audio (the standard for Music CD's) which explains why the Music only plays in the past. You'd have to merge the audio back into the ISO for it to play, which would be a tad difficult. Shouldn't there be a place where you can download the Protos in full? Last time I checked the 510 proto at Retro was broken, I couldn't even UnRAR it, it complained about a broken archive.


Oh, I think this should go in Discussion and Q&A.

 

Oh come on now, it is obvious that "The Lounge" is NOT the best place to put it. Had you searched around the forums, you would know that this would best be suited for the "Discussion Q&A", please do that next time, it should not be up to us to rearrange posts into the correct subforums because you're too incompetent at looking around and thinking before posting.


Also, emulatores tend to read MP3 music tracks with a Sega/Mega CD if the music tracks are named the same as the ISO game, with number ID's next to them, for example Sonic CD:


Sonic CD.iso


Sonic CD 01.mp3


Sonic CD 02.mp3


Sonic CD 03.mp3


Sonic CD 04.mp3


etc..


Of course there is some sort of bincue I've heard about which is a form of including the music with the ISO itself, though I'm not too sure as to how that all works.
