Good morning.

I'm getting into Sega Saturn emulation.
I use Ubuntu LTS and MAME through the ppa.

When you start the game, it asks (in Japanese) for the use of a "Video CD MPEG Card." This game, like few others, uses this adapter.

In the 'sat_vccart' folder, I see 'vcd.zip' and others, and in the emulator menu, I can select the cartridge, but the game restarts automatically and nothing happens.

Is it emulated? How can I load it correctly?

Saturn MPEG card is currently unemulated. Should decrypt and overlay the BIOS, and should do it in a separate bus option than the regular cart (that one is on top of retail Saturn, Video CD "cart" is instead a PCMCIA-like slot lives in the back of the console near the battery).
