    Convert .cue/.gdi/.bin to CHD with chdman

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Hey there,

    I've recently tried converting .gdi files to .chd files using chdman.exe. However, the problem was, that if game consisted of a .gdi and several .bin files (Tracks), I would get one chd file for each of the .bin tracks. So let's say that a game consists of one .gdi and 10 bin files , I will get 10 .chd files named after each of the bin files.

    How can I make it so that I will only get one .chd files? Does anyone have an idea?

    Thanks!

    Philips CD-i in Retroarch (mame core)

    in Emulation

    Posted · Edited by SiriusVI

    Nothing changes if I try the command: "cdimono1 -cdrm". I had already tried that earlier.

    I haven't tried mame standalone, however, I would really very much like to use RetroArch, since many people seem to be able to launch CD-i games using RetroArch.

    EDIT: If I use the "cdimono2", I get a black screen and I hear music playing.


    EDIT 2: I found this tutorial, which I will try out later: https://forums.libretro.com/t/guide-play-non-arcade-systems-with-mame-or-mess/17728

    Philips CD-i in Retroarch (mame core)

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Hey everyone,

    I'm urrently trying to launch Cd-i games in retroarch using the mame core. I've seen many examples of people onkine getting it to work and explaining how, but somehow I can't get it to work.

    Ths is my Setup:

    1. I have .chd files in my games/Philips CDi - folder
    2. Inside the same folder I have copied the cdimono1.zip
    3. I've configured the mame core  using this tutorial: https://forums.libretro.com/t/run-philips-cd-i-games-in-retroarch-mame-libretro-via-rocketlauncher/8672

    When I try to launch a game in Launchbox, retroarch just crashes. 

    When I add the commandline "cdimono1" in the emulation options for retroarch, the bios boots, I get a light blue screen and after some seconds I am inside the philips cdi bios. When I click "play", the light blue screen comes back and I'm stuck. 

    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Get BigBox to launch on my primary display

    in Noobs

    Posted

    So here is the situation,

    I mainly play games on my TV in the living room. However, sometimes, my girlfriend wants to watch TV and I have to retreat to my office and play games there. So I go to my office, launch BigBox and.... it launches on the TV, because that's what I'd told it to do when I last played in the living room. The problem is that I cannot access the option to change the monitor BigBox uses to my Display in my office, because BigBox is only visible on the TV screen. So I have to go to the living room, change the screen there, interrupt my girlfriend watching her show in the process, and then finally I can go to back to playing games.

    Needless to say, this is not ideal. So my question is this: is there any way to make BigBox launch on what is set to be my primary display in windows? Kind of what RetroArch lets me do when I set the option to "auto"?

    Thanks for your help, everyone.

    RetroArch controller pairing issue

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Hey everyone,

    Since my list of standalone emulators has been growing out of proportion, I've recently made the switch to RetroArch. I got it working fine, but there is one problem with my controllers.

    I have 4 Xbox one controllers which pair automatically, when I launch RetroArch. However, I do also have 2 real wiimotes which I use to play Wii games in Dolphin (stanalone). Now, when I launch Retroarch, while the Wiimote is connected to my PC via bluetooth, the wiimote always takes the spot of User 1 in RetroArch. I then have to F1 out of the game, go to controller config and change User 1 from wiimote to Xbox One / Xinput.

    I'd prefer if the wiimote didn't auto connect to RetroArch at all, since I only use it in Dolphin anyway. Does anyone of you guys know an easy workaround for this problem?

     

    Thanks!

    Thx for the program, however, it doesn't work for me. When I try to launch a rom through snes9x, Launchbox starts the steamlauncherproxy and after some time of waiting it just kills the process and the game does not start. The debug file says:
