Are you even able to get this to play back on your own computer?[/quote]
yes. My sega cd recording is pretty stable (not perfect but pretty close, try it with no music I recorded it with music though).
Currently working on:
-Possibly the Wily Tower (Mega Man the Wily Wars)
have you tried it, upthorn? even if it does work, though, i imagine that eventually the nanosecond discrepancies between the emulator and movie will add up and cause a desynch later on in the game (if not immediately)

For me it desyncs as soon as he goes to the past in PPZ1. Sometimes even earlier.
also:
it will always desync once you get to CCZ, because once you're past the first zone, "continue" appears at that menu spot instead of "new game", so you'll have to add a left press and some wait time for the menu to change.
From what I can tell, this is not even close to the optimal route for good future in PPZ1

With no music I can get to the part where he travels to the past, and then it gets to the white loading screen, and then it just freezes. If I try it with the music that's part of the iso I have, it doesn't sync at all from the beginning. Could you maybe post an md5 of the iso you're using or something? I want to see if mine is the same.
On a related note: does anyone know how I can replace the mp3 CD tracks and have them still play? They only seem to play with the tracks that were originally part of the image. The bad thing about that is that I have some whacky newer version of the OST which I hate. It's all tropical and synthy and stuff. The only reason I play Sonic CD is to hear the original 80s-style OST with the awesome crunchy distortion guitar and the great 80s tracks. I have the mp3s, but when I replace the ones in the directory the game doesn't play with any music at all.
It's pretty frustrating because I have several legitimate copies of this game for sega CD and for PC, and I can't seem to find any that works on gens the way I want.

Aww, but I love the Japanese soundtrack. :(
I'm not sure how ISO+MP3 works, as there might be some extra data in the headers of the MP3 files for them to be used properly. I do know, however, that if you replace the songs, the songs you replace them with must be the exact same length; Sega CD doesn't skip to music by track number, it skips by binary address.

Ah, thanks for the info. I was thinking there might be some extra stuff in the mp3 headers too. I guess I'll have to find/make an ISO of an american sonic cd. I didn't know that alternate soundtrack was the Japanese version.
And perhaps 'hate' was too strong a word. It's actually pretty decent, it's just not what I want since the American OST for Sonic CD is among my very favorite game OSTs ever.
Hmm. Could you elaborate?
Basically I just want one with the American OST and one that doesn't freeze on the loading screens. ;)
Wait, so is kchrules using that prerelease American version I read about that's almost the same as the final version except that it uses the original music?
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
I'm not sure what version he's using.
I did figure out that he's probably using the sega cd US bios version 2.00. When I try to load his movie with the v1.1 bios it doesn't work at all.
I haven't gotten it to sync from the start still, but at least I got the good ol' US soundtrack working using a new cd image. Pretty happy about that.

Spencer Nilsen wrote the American Sonic CD OST and I think that it is absolutely brilliant (I also love his Ecco stuff). However, the decision to replace the soundtrack in this game is one of the most divisive issues in video game music history. People still argue today about whether the Japanese or American one is better.
I love both soundtracks (Nilsen's Ecco soundtrack is one of my all-time favorites, as well) - I just thought the Japanese soundtrack had more of a suitable Sonic sound to it. Not to mention it was nice to have the Past tracks match the Present and Future tracks.
I'll admit that I prefer Nilsen's Palmtree Panic, though.
Is anything in Sonic CD random at all? CD games can easily get quite nasty by using physical entropy, but Sonic CD seems completely deterministic in gameplay.
It seems that the only randomness it would have is the length of the load screens, which from the previous posts sounds like the problem.
I'm just curious.
