Getting Started

Compressed archives (such as .rar, .zip, .7z, etc) are NOT supported for CD-based games — you must uncompress them first.

Important: An Outlook for Mac 2011 identity can only be imported into an empty Outlook for Mac profile. An empty profile is one where there are no other accounts or other data associated with it. Here are the steps to create a new profile in Outlook for Mac: Note: These steps must be used with Outlook 2016 for Mac or Outlook 2019 for Mac.

Importing

Dumped copies of CD-based games must be loaded in with Cue sheets or CloneCD files only.

Simply drag and drop a .cue or .ccd file into your library and OpenEmu will add all associated files along with it from the same folder. If a game is made up of multiple discs, please follow the multi-disc guide instead.

Please make sure you are importing valid files by carefully reading the sections below.

Supported Formats

PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx-CD, PC-FX, PlayStation, Sega Saturn (using Mednafen)

  • CUE+BIN, both single and multiple .BIN tracks
  • CUE+IMG, CUE+ISO
  • CUE + BIN/IMG/ISO + CDDA tracks with WAV/OGG/FLAC. MP3 is NOT supported.
  • CloneCD CCD+IMG+SUB

Mega CD/Sega CD (using Genesis Plus GX)

  • CUE+BIN, CUE+IMG, CUE+ISO
  • CUE + BIN/IMG/ISO + CDDA tracks with WAV/OGG. MP3 is NOT supported.

Cue Sheets

A cue sheet is a plain text file with a .cue extension containing metadata used to describe the layout of a CD, normally accompanied by one or more data files dumped from the original disc.

Below demonstrates how a cue sheet could be written for a PlayStation game with CDDA, depending on how it was dumped.

Single binary track

Single binary track — pregap length and subcode flags

Single binary track — pregap start time with INDEX 00

Multiple binary tracks. Data track + separate file for each audio track (common with Redump)

Single binary track with WAVE audio track file

Q. My cue sheet or CCD won't import

It is important that cue sheets are saved as plain text, without 'smart quotes' or 'smart dashes' and that tracks do not contain hardcoded paths, only filenames.

Open your cue sheet in TextEdit or another plain text editor and verify that the filename for BINARY:

  • matches the filename of your .bin/.img/.iso file and is in the correct case
  • has an extension: FILE 'CASTLEVANIA.BIN' BINARY and NOTFILE 'CASTLEVANIA' BINARY
  • does not contain a hardcoded path: FILE 'C:WINDOWSDESKTOPCASTLEVANIA.BIN' BINARY

If using a CloneCD .ccd, you must also have a .img and .sub with matching filenames.

Q. I have no music at all, only sound effects most of the time

It means you have a bad dump or the cue sheet is missing correct CDDA track information. There is no solution but to obtain a proper dump.

Q. I only have a single .BIN or .ISO file

It is strongly recommended to simply obtain another dump that is packaged properly.

This is considered a bad/incomplete dump. It is necessary your game dump has an associated cue sheet because they are used to describe data and audio for the disc. Attempting to create your own without knowing the layout of the disc and how it was dumped, especially for a game that uses CD Audio (CDDA), will only result in problems.

Q. I have a multi-disc game

You need to create a .m3u file containing the filenames of all the cue sheets for the game. The file must be saved in a folder together with all the cue sheets and their associated files in order for them to be automatically imported. Also, the cue sheets for the game must not already be pre-imported in your library. Note: Mega CD/Sega CD is not supported.

Example:

  1. You have a multi-disc game such as Chrono Cross with two cue sheets Chrono Cross (USA) (Disc 1).cue and Chrono Cross (USA) (Disc 2).cue.

  2. Now create a .m3u file by opening up your favorite plain text editor and copy and pasting the filenames of your cue sheets, one per line appearing as:

Gameworks schaumburg

Note: For CloneCD rips, only add the .ccd filenames to the .m3u file.

  1. IMPORTANT — Save the file as plain text (if using TextEdit, select 'Make Plain Text' from the Format menu) with a .m3u extension, for example Chrono Cross (USA).m3u

  2. Import only the .m3u file into your library as normal and the cue sheets will be automatically imported. It will appear in your PlayStation library and you can load it.

Now, when you reach a point in-game where you must swap discs, select the required disc from the HUD control bar 'Select Disc' menu like so:

Q. I have an .ECM or .APE file

Dumps with .ecm and .ape are compressed data and audio tracks. These files must be uncompressed before they can be used.

Our example will use a cue sheet named Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA).cue with the contents and files:

ECM

The .ecm file must be decoded and renamed to match the BINARY track filename from the cue sheet.

  1. Download unecm (via the Command-Line Pack v1.03 by Neill Corlett)
  2. Uncompress cmdpack-1.03-macosx-x86_64.tar.gz and copy the unecm file to the same folder as your game with the .ecm file
  • If you have the Homebrew package manager, you might also use brew install ecm
  1. Open your cue sheet in TextEdit or another plain text editor and notice the filename of the BINARY track and also the .ecm filename in your folder. e.g. Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA) (Track 1).bin and data.bin.ecm

  2. Navigate to your game's folder in Terminal. Follow guides here or here to do this.

  3. Decode your .ecm. In Terminal, enter the following command and press enter, making sure to add the correct filenames:

    ./unecm 'data.bin.ecm' 'Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA) (Track 1).bin'

APE

The .ape file must be converted to PCM and renamed to match the AUDIO track filename from the cue sheet.

  1. Download X Lossless Decoder (XLD)
  2. Open XLD.app — the application is not signed, so you must right click and select Open
  3. Go to XLD > Preferences menu and set the Output format to PCM (little endian)
  4. To convert your file, just click on Open from the File menu, and navigate to your .ape file
  5. The converted file will be named, for example, Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA) (Track 2).pcm which must then be renamed
  6. To rename, right click on the .pcm file and select Get Info. From the Name & Extension section, change the file extension from .pcm to match the corresponding audio track inside the cue sheet, presumably .bin, resulting in Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA) (Track 2).bin

Q. I have a .CHD file from Archive.org

Some CD dumps are stored in a MAME/MESS-specific format capable of multiple layers of compression (LZMA/zlib/FLAC/Huffman) called CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data or Compressed Hard Disk images), containing a .cue and .bin file. These files must be uncompressed with chdman before they can be used.

  1. Download and install the SDL2 framework for OS X.

  2. Download a pre-compiled version of MAME or MESS 64-bit (x86_64) from SDLMAME

  3. Uncompress the .zip file and copy the chdman file found inside the 'tools' folder to the same folder as your game with the .chd file

  4. Navigate to your game's folder in Terminal. Follow guides here or here to do this.

  5. Extract your .chd. In Terminal, enter the following command and press enter, making sure to add the correct filenames:

    ./chdman extractcd -i 'sonic cd (usa).chd' -o 'sonic cd (usa).cue' -ob 'sonic cd (usa).bin'

Q. I have a .MDF and a .MDS file

These are an alternative format to iso/bin images created by some software like Alcohol 120%. They are very easy to convert into .bin/.cue.

  1. Install a command-line tool named mdf2iso using either macports or homebrew.

  3. This will generate compatible .bin/.cue files in the same directory, with the same name as the original image.

Q. I have a .SBI file

Hundreds of PAL region PlayStation games used LibCrypt, a copy protection mechanism that stored non-standard data in subchannels on the disc. If missing from a backup, this crippled games by disabling input (Ape Escape), impossible difficulty (Lucky Luke: Western Fever), mysterious bugs (Spyro: Year of the Dragon) or freezing at boot (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) or during a level (Wip3out).

Dumped copies that use cue sheets require additional .sbi subchannel data files in order for these games to work.

Download .sbi files for affected games from redump.org by first choosing your game and then finding 'SBI subchannels' at the top of the page.

Drag and drop the .sbi to import it alongside your game. IMPORTANT — The .sbi file must be named exactly as the base filename of your cue sheet including case e.g.

  • Ape Escape (Europe).cue and Ape Escape (Europe).sbi
  • Wip3out (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).CUE and Wip3out (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).SBI

Note: multi-disc games such as Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Galerians and Parasite Eve II must have all .sbi files for each disc imported.

Genre(s)Shoot-em-up
Mode(s)Single player

Symphony is an indie developedshoot-em-up video game produced by Empty Clip Studios. It was released for Microsoft Windows in August 2012, and for Linux and Mac OS X in May 2014.

The game is played by manipulating a ship and firing on enemy ships, earning points and collecting power-ups that are dropped by the ships. The patterns for the appearance of the enemy ships are based on analysis of a selected music file, either from those that ship with the game or from those already on the user's computer. As the player completes songs, they earn new abilities they can add to their ship, while defeating specific bosses from certain songs will increase the game's difficulty level.

Gameplay[edit]

In Symphony, players maneuver their ship (orange, bottom right) and shoot down attacking enemies (blue and red) as to defend their music at the top of the screen.

Upon first launch of Symphony, the user is given the opportunity to add existing music on their computer to the songs that ship with the game; by default this includes common locations such as the directory for iTunes and Windows Media Player. Additional folders can be added at a later time, and existing folders rescanned for new songs.

The player is then given the option to select a song using a set of simple filters, or to have the game randomly select a song. The game will process the song to create the patterns of attack that the player will face. Prior to starting the actual game, the player can customize their ship in the game with any equipment earned and purchased from completing songs.

The core game is otherwise like most arcade shoot-em-ups like Galaga, where the player must maneuver their ship across the bottom of the screen to evade enemy ships and fire, while firing on the enemies to destroy them and 'protect' their music.[1] Points are scored for defeating enemies and the player can earn a scoring multiplier by keeping a chain of destruction going. If the ship is hit, parts of it will fall off, but the player can collect notes left behind by destroyed ships to restore the ship. Should the ship take too much damage, the ship will respawn after a few moments, but the player's score will be penalized. The player is also penalized for allowing certain ships from remaining on screen for too long, affecting their music. Certain target scores are pre-determined for each song, with the player's goal to surpass these levels. When the song is completed, they then gain in-game currency and the opportunity to buy a new weapon for their ship.

Certain songs from the player's library will randomly be selected as boss levels, where the regular attacking ships are replaced by a single, difficult-to-kill enemy. There are a total of six bosses, reflecting the six difficulty levels in the game. Defeating three bosses at one difficulty level will allow the player to access the next highest difficulty level, and the kinds of rewards that the player can earn for completing songs. Once at the sixth level, defeating the sixth boss will effectively win the game for the player.[2]

Players can opt to have their scores tracked on external servers based on the song name and artist. This creates global leaderboards so the player can compare their abilities with friends and other players.[3]

Development[edit]

Symphony is the product of the two-man development team of Empty Clip Studios, Francois Bertand and Matt Shores.[3] The game has been in development since 2008,[4] and had an initial planned 2010 release, but subsequent development pushed the game back into 2012.[5] One of the goals of their game was to develop their music analysis engine as to 'capture [the] range of emotions that's uniquely present in every song'.[4]

Symphony was awarded two prizes at the 2012 Indie Game Challenge; 'Technical Achievement' (which included a $2,500 prize) and 'GameStop PC Digital Download Award'.[6] On May 27, 2014, Symphony was included in a Humble Bundle in which the Linux and Mac OS X versions debuted.

Does Symphony Game Work On Mac Pro

Symphony received generally positive feedback from journalists who compared it positively to Beat Hazard and Audiosurf, two other games that procedurally generate gameplay based on the player's choice of music track. Marc Saltzman of USA Today called the title 'fun and frantic' but commented that it becomes repetitive.[3] Leif Johnson of GameSpot considered the weapon upgrade system to be a differentiation from these other games, as the randomness of such upgrades keeps the game interesting, though manipulating the upgrades can be difficult for large music libraries.[1]

A common initial complaint of the game was an input lag that slowed down the player's movements and affected their performance.[1][3] The Empty Clip team was able to address this lag issue and others within the first week of its release.[2]
