      @sylence26 open up the cue files and make sure the name of the bin file is listed exactly like the bin file is. If the bin file is called say Altered Beast.BIN inside the .cue file it cant be named things like altered beast .bin or Altered Beast.bin as they arent identical

          No , Ive triple checked all the bin and cue files in all the roms and they match exactly. Been trying to get this sorted all week but now I want to smash my head on a rock. lol

            @sylence26 did you open up the .cue files and read how they were named inside them? That is usually the reason why some work and some dont.

              Yup, opened all the cue files and checked them. All match and still no dice. Thought maybe I had a bad bios but it is fine. thats whats got me confused about this.

                    @sylence26 as i said thats your problem. Inside the cue file it says .BIN but the bin file is .bin. Correct it in the cue file

                      Wow, I cant believe I didnt catch that stupid error. I was looking so hard at the file name I totally overlooked the damn file association. Thanks alot dude, but it does help to have another set of eyes looking at a problem.

                        @sylence26 yeah i am not sure why but so many tg16 and seca cd cue files list .BIN . Windows doesnt care but linux does. It is stupid that whatever program people ripped them with did this. Happy gaming dude.

                          Yup, checked and all the none working ones had BIN for file extension. Stupid error on my part. Fixed them and am reloading them now. Thanks again, you da man.

                            @sylence26 hey man, how did you open up the cue or bin file to rename it from BIN to .bin? I'm having the same issue it sounds like :/

                              @chadicus what operating system do you have? In windows you can just open them in notepad.
