Thank you for the fast answers.

Now I understand. I didn't understand that the m3u-Option is a separate method to pbp.

OK. Then i can go back to work :-D

Thx

Going back on this, I know it’s old...

I like to keep my PSX ROMs aligned to the Redump DATs which means .BIN and .CUE files. Also, I’ve found that converting them to .PBP has thrown errors in the past. Not looked into .CHD files but with both these methods of converting ROMs it can be a pain if you have a large collection.

Since this was posted I still use an unzip script but I use .M3U files for multi-disc games (which seem to use a single .BIN and .CUE in Redump terms) and .CUE for single disc games (which Redump seems to either use single .BIN or multiple .BINs).

This method has both storage benefits and save game benefits as the save files are aligned with the .M3U for multi-disc games.

PS. Last time I checked the entire PSX Redump collection was 3.7TB so there are benefits to unzipping into a cache if storage is tight and you’re not doing so to an SD card.

Update 3: In contact with some theme developers to see if they are interested at all

@chris-red Nice work!!

@lovelorn88 I learned quickly to back up everything after a change. Until I finally got it stabilized I backed up every hour or two until I finished.

Here's another site that said the same thing only in easier terms:
"Mount CUE sheet with something like dameon tools or Alcohol 120%. Then simply use IMGBurn and choose the mounted drive to make an image from disc in the wizard option. Then choose where you want the file and it will be converted from a multi-track BIN/CUE file set to a single BIN/CUE file set."

Did you just cut the most orgasmic console startup sound ever ? Shame on you and your family.

Unfortunately I would need to install RecalBox to have Dreamcast support. For reasons beyond my comprehension the Odroid version of RetroPie doesn't support Reicast. The XU4 is much better suited for emulation than the Pi3. A $30 difference is small when you consider that it has double the ram and more than twice the processing power. When the Pi4 is released in a few years it will probably be comparable to the XU4, so the XU4's lifecycle would last far longer.

@pjft
My power settings are the stock settings.
I think this is what happens: When the boxart image size is large, the Pi needs a bit of time to load the image. This causes a slight delay when scrolling from one game to the next. Other controllers ignore this, but the DS4 seems to remember the directional button input during the delay and keeps it going, without me having to press the button anymore.
But yes I am very glad I found the solution. Thanks for your input, as you asking me if specific games were causing this, got me on the right track.

Hello, I have a question about memory card reader by arduino nano. Can You show how you did this ? I found psx memory card reader, but for windows. I would like to kow how it's work with rpi. I like your project, great job !!!

Another issue, after upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 and saving a core wide shader preset when you quit the ROM and open it again or another rom from the same core the preset is not applied (at least is saved) and you need to apply it, also in the update I lost my RetroAchievements settings

@lostless yup. Thats why these games are better on a crt. Developers knew the quirks and capabilities and used them to cheat the system.

I love this theme, but the handhelds just look horrible. All the consoles are pretty square anyway so you can get away with them, but then handhelds are usually horizontal or vertical and even if you put a thickness on them to create a 3d effect they still look terrible. On the snes classic the gba is a top down view of the classic purple gba
