I am glad it works for you. Soon, I will upload Japanese Saturn ISO that I got from secret sources. I am also contacting pro dumpers and will pay them to dump Rayman 2 Dreamcast Japanese.

I wont. I pay them price of eBay auction, they buy game and dump it with special tools and they make it playable on emulator. They dumped almost all Dreamcast Games and only 20 are missing. Rayman 2 Japanese is one of them. Here is site http://hddx.haldrie.com/
Sadly no more sign ups are allowed and this place is private anyways and not many regular people can register. But trust me guys, I the OCG WILL give you people Rayman 2 Japanese playable on emulator. Because I always keep my promise and I promised I will find it.

Great, thank you for finding&uploading it! I'm downloading it right now. Too bad Mega doesn't offer full bandwith. I usually download 6MB/s but never reached on Mega that fast. :/

Well, MEGA is only place where I can upload up to 50 GB so that is why I am uploading it. I am most likely not going to go premium there since I dislike paying for it every month. Also I just finished editing Part 1 of Rayman 1 Saturn LP. Quality will be really good and no Black Bars at all. I made everything in full 1920x1080 resolution.

Yeah I also have the opportunity to upload fullhd videos but I don't do it because it takes too much time on uploading it.

EDIT: Ah shit download it finished. Why again a splitted image of the game xD. Why not simply one binary that has already all tracks and files included and a cue that gives the information where the information is in the binary package xD.

Emulator has issue reading it if it's not splitted. Plus this is how are 1:1 dumps dumped. Person who made this dump takes dumping very serious.

Not really. I have an unsplitted Rayman 1 NTSC and Demo Rayman 1 NTSC for the saturn and they work perfectly. Also the image is not region patched like the european you uploaded. So people will need to switch the area code to Japan but I think it's not such a big deal.

Hmm. those little changes are also in the japanese PS1 version present. For me the winner is the japanese PS1 version when it comes to the best Rayman version. I hope the price wont climb that high because it'd be better for me if the price stays below 28$ so I will not need to pay more taxes and travel far to the next customs branch.

Did you select bios? Make sure to have Daemon Tools installed along with virtual driver, Go to Emulator option and select CD drive to virtual one.

If the bios says Game unsuitable for this console or so then change the area code to japan and restart the emulator.

The emulator doesn't even see the virtual drive i've placed the game ISO in. Also, i selected No Bios, and i was using poweriso.

PowerIso does not work and is a bad program for virtual drive. Use PowerIso only for ripping PS1 games. Daemon Tools is real deal for virtual drives. You must select Bios or game will not play. Watch my tutorial on my channel.

I use Alcohol120% and it works as great as Deanon Tools. Not sure if DeamonTools also can do ot but I can copy copyprotected CD and DVDs with it.

It now recognizes the virtual drive, but still gives an "SSF??????????" error message. Also, now i did everything like you in you tutorial, tried both the cue and the iso file, but no success.

that is not error message dude. Just exit emulator after you see that and start it again with cue mounted.
