[Multi-disc games with .m3u files]

Nope, you got it correct.

Just make sure the file has the file extension .m3u, is in the folder with your cue + bins and the file names are correctly matching the .cue files and import the .m3u.

Alright cool. If you don't mind me tacking on another question. Does loading games that way alleviate the fact that I'd need to switch "discs"? I'd imagine I'd still have to do some sort of switching when the game prompts me to do so.

I would also recommend depending on you PC specs to try one of the beetle cores for PS1, the standard core uses software rendering, but the HW core will allow upscaling the graphics if you have a dedicated GPU in your system. PCSX REARMED is actually the worst of the three cores available for emulating PS1.

Checked out Beetle, and yeah. I can definitely see why you steered me away from REARMED. Thanks!

[Multi-disc games with .m3u files]

So I got a few games for PS1(and Dreamcast) that are multi-disc. Like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid. I hear that these games can be loaded with a .m3u file

From what I can gather, that file is basically a notepad document with the listed .cue files. for the game. So would it just be listed as follows and then I import that as the .cue file for the game?

Final Fantasy VII (Disc 1).cue

Final Fantasy VII (Disc 2).cue

Final Fantasy VII (Disc 3).cue

 

Or am I missing some key elements here?

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Have you specified the PS1 platform to use PCSX ReARMed? I assume you have Retroarch setup in Launchbox correctly and other systems are working? If so have you told Launchbox which core to use for your PS1 system, i believe it is using beetle by default, so you need to change that. Go to Tools/Manage Emulators, double click Retroarch and go to the "Associated Platform" tab and find PS1, and double click in the core box to open the dropdown and choose the core. Also you will need to make sure that the platform name in the associated platform tab matches EXACTLY what you called the platform in Launchbox, case also matters.

 

Good god that worked. You're the greatest. Thanks!

Hiya. First off, LaunchBox rules, and I love every bit of it.

However, I'm trying to use a RetroArch core(PCSX ReArmed) For my Playstation games. They launch fine if I open RetroArch, and open a game file through the program, but if I try to launch the game through LaunchBox or Big Box itself, I will get a loading icon, but the game never launches.

Is there an option or something I am missing, or any tips/tricks?
