a little help with Mega CD images...

Postby teaddict4ever » Mon Aug 07, 2017 12:39 pm

HI.
I'll search but I can't find my answer about this "little" problem.
I'm using Mega CD games (redump format...). I don"t have any trouble to run those games, BUT.....

All the games are using 1 cue + muti .bin files. I unzipped the files into a folder with the correct redump name.

In the RetroX Explorer (after i configured the right folder..) I can see a list of all the files inside (1.cue + multi .bin..).
I need to launch the cue file and not the .bin files....

Do I need to place my images zipped ?
I've checked previous posts and I understand (maybe wrongly...) that ONLY MAME needs Zip games, the rest of the platforms can use unzipped roms....

Can I unzip my CD roms into folders or do I need to place those game in ZIP format ?

Hi!

I think it's a bug in the app. Can you send me a link to a game like that to test it and fix the app?

Cheers!

Hi ,
well... i used an image of Rise of the Dragon (USA), on redump format.

My uncompressed image looks like this :

Rise of the Dragon (USA)
Rise of the Dragon (USA) (Track 1).bin
Rise of the Dragon (USA) (Track 2).bin
Rise of the Dragon (USA) (Track 3).bin
Rise of the Dragon (USA) (Track 4).bin
Rise of the Dragon (USA) (Track 5).bin
Rise of the Dragon (USA).cue

I can see on my retroX explorer 6 files with... 6 front cover of the game. I need to select each time the right file (the .cue file...). :?

One link where you can find Mega cd images (on redump format of course...) :
(link)

I used the image : Rise of the Dragon (USA).zip 149.9M

Feel free to erase the link if it's forbidden to post this kind of links. you asked me for a link.. here it is.

It's OK, I requested the link for testing purposes (I edited it just in case)

Please can you try this test version? Use Manage Games -> Rescan -> Sega CD

I just installed the app on a second TV and stored my hard drive on my router as a nas. Now I just scanned all those games to my second TV and all my psx games are doing the same thing, it's listed the adventures of Lomax 25 times because of all the .bin files. Its been quite a while since I've used the app but I don't remember having an issue like this before. Is this a bug or did something change in the file storage requirements?

Bin/cue files are not supported from network storage. They need to be local.
