I still need to try to load an ISO via MEDNAFEN on oXbox. If you burn your ISO to a real CD (a CD-R disc), you'd have no problem playing your games with MagicEngine. It's not the most user friendly, but it works and loads ISOs fine. The easiest way to play games from ISO is to use another emulator: Mednafen. It's a shame because MagicEngine is the #1 emulator.
And the authors of MagicEngine intend to never add ISO support. I need to disappoint you: MagicEngine does not support running TurboGrafx16-CD/PC Engine CD games via ISO files. You will always see this screen when you boot a CD game. The first screen you'll see is the BIOS screen, prompting you to press Run to continue. *If you're using an old version of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 98, Windows ME) and MagicEngine does nothing when you try to boot your CD game, try installing ForceASPI. You'll see your game pop-up in a little sub menu. In the main menu, click or press Enter on Boot CD. Give it a minute for Windows to detect it. Insert your TurboGrafx16-CD/PC Engine CD game into your CD-ROM drive.
I have them right here:Įxtract the BIOS files from their zip file and place them in MagicEngine's folder like this. The first thing you need to do is download the BIOS syscard files. MagicEngine is far better in the usability department. That being said, that doesn't mean you should drop everything and marry Mednafen for all your TurboGrafx16 needs. Mednafen, a multi-system emulator, does allow you to boot CD games from ISO. That really sucks because we don't really use CD-ROM drives anymore. It does not support booting CD games from ISO. CD games can only be played via your CD-ROM drive. There's another thing that might turn you off about MagicEngine (and Ootake).
