How to store Playstation/Dreamcast roms so they run
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2018 3:44 pm
Hi,
Im new to RetroX, I have got it all working pretty much. I have my roms on a 2TB hard drive and running via a Nvidia Shield 2017 (new model).
It all works fine, although im having fun with the start/select buttons.
Apart from the main issue, which is, when it comes to systems with compressed roms. Namely playstation and dreamcast.
I assume they dont work as they are in a RAR compressed file. Although the guides say it should work. When i try to run them it says this is not a vailid rom, or something along those lines.
As it only happens on those (PSP, n64 etc all play okay) I assume its linked to the fact they are compressed.
So Im going to uncompress and see how that goes (unless I hear any better suggestions). But how should i leave the files?
Should i uncompress and have a folder for each rom containing the various files for that game?
Or should i just uncompress all the roms into one big folder?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank you
