      They work fine for me.

      thanks for that, at least i can eliminate that from my list of potential problems!

        @chubsta make sure the cue file is referencing the correct ISO. You can open the CUE with a text editor. I had some where things weren't capitalized the same way and that caused issues. Linux is case-sensitive.

            @qbical As it was said by @obsidianspider 9 months ago ...they work fine. There is no guesswork to this. Please read https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/PC-Engine which has a section how to make sure your game will work.

            I recently switched to CHD and overall saved around 50% space.

              If you look at my post from the other day you will see that I have read that link, extensively. There is not a single mention of an .ISO file. It specifically states ".7z .ccd .chd .cue .pce .zip". I followed every step I did with the .BIN and .CUE files that are working, but the .ISO's are not. Where is the section that talks about .iso in the link you provided?
              I checked the name in the .CUE and it is an exact match of my iso file name.
              FILE "AKUMAJOU_DRACULA_X.ISO" BINARY
              I also capp'd ISO just to see if that would help, but it did not. I suspect I am missing a small detail, hence asking here. Did you have any actual suggestions, or just a link?

                as luck would have it, I just figured out the issue.

                In the .cue file it shows .ISO being in caps, like the .BIN files are. I had to change the .ISO to lower case .iso in the .cue file. Once I did that, I restarted E.S. and it launched.
                Oddly, it did not work when I capp'd .ISO on the file name like it did for the .BIN's.

                  @qbical It doesn't say it supports .iso, that's a mistake on the wiki. I do know for a fact that .iso is supported, so that narrowed it down to be a case-sensitive issue which the wiki does have a section for.

                      @qbical just so you know. As long as you dont change the name or caps/lowercase of the cue file, you can edit the inside of the cue file and naming of the bin/iso without having to restart emulationstation. The cue file and iso/bin files names dont have to match.
