hi OK, I feel stupid. Apparently linux doesn't identify everything with a .bin extension as sega disk image, it also detects sega saturn rom images. However, it does still identify everything else with a .bin extension as sega cd disk images, even windows software. I'm not sure what can be done about this, it seems impossible to automagically detect everything possiblt that uses a .bin extension. Maybe increase the magic priority on sega rom types?
