So, I have no problem using MagicEngine via Crossover in Linux with real, inserted CDs.  But I want to know if there's a utility to actually mount BIN/CUE/WAV sets so MagicEngine can see them.  Anybody know?

thx  :mrgreen:

It would need to be done via your crossover application settings since it's what sets up virtual drives, not Linux.

Anyway, to answer the other part of your question a BIN/CUE/WAV set differs from a CD, there is some format changing that goes on when you burn it to convert the WAVs to Redbook etc. So doing that isn't going to work without some outside application.

If you're using linux, try using mednafen. Not only does it work better then ME, it supports Bin+Cue. And you can get rid of any intermediate layers, like crossover :-)
