ah yes, sorry my fault :)

@Clyde said in Linux - script to batch convert PSX bin/cue to CHD: You might want to expand it to extract ecm-compressed files I'll drop just another one-liner here that decompresses all .ecm files in the current directory: for i in *.ecm; do ecm-uncompress "${i}"; done Please note that you might need to install the ecm tools first via the command sudo apt install ecm.

Never mind, I didn't realize when I saved the python script it saved additional embedded formatting. I just had to download a straight text editor and it is working fine. Thank you.

I would make everything pbp format to save space :D

@paulmdickey We really need to know more information about your setup. The required info is detailed at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first Take special care to note if you're using the Atari800 emulator, or lr-atari800.

If you don't want to change your .cue file, you may test this option: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22013/redirect-solution-for-cue-bin-problem

@meleu I think RetroArch doesn't care about extensions... Jeezy Creezy.... It was just that easy. Ahhhhhhh well. At least when I'm wasting a ton of time and the answer is just this simple at least I'm learning new things, right? I absolutely can't believe the best answer was changing .bin to .cue. Works perfect for launching the game, and it shouldn't give any problems with our script either. Thanks everybody!

@edmaul69 said in PCEngine cd - can they be in cue/iso format?: @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. right on! thank you

@edmaul69 got it. I didn't have ssh on, thanks.

@natemac make sure emulation station is closed before you make edits.

@PetroRie i wish i found that torrent. My retarded self downloaded them all individually. And the site i went to makes you scroll to find game, new page opens, scroll past adds, click on link, scroll down past ads. Click on download. And it only let me download 1 sometimes 2 files at a time. I spent about 15 hours a day downloading for like a week. It sucked.

thank you. that file did the trick. i wasn't using an old version of retropie though. in fact it was a fresh install of 4.1. i even updated all installed packages via the retropie setup. maybe they changed it back? anyway thanks again!

@singsonn the path in the cue sheet isnt started with something like "c:/../.../gamename.bin"? You have to remove all that info if it does. I had to fix tons of pcengine and sega cd games because of this. This might not be your problem but i havent seen your cue sheet.

i saw someone copy a .cue file and change the name. I have not be able to do the same and been having the same issue with my psx. I need to find a .cue file first to give it a shot.

@Rookervik Sorry to bother you but there is a spammer on here for "online poker" which i am going to assume the link is for phishing.
