I do not have an option I am afraid, running Mame through a core because the gaming device in question is Chromecast with Google TV i.e. no native Mame app for Android.

How does one play Cruis n USA and World with Retroarch core and a Xbox controller? Both games load up until "Calibrate your controls" then no matter what I press on the controller or keyboard it does not detect anything. Does this game only play with an actual wheel? Using Mame Current core which is 0.257.

Thank you, not sure how I missed it! P.S. Apparently copied it from the comment before mine, where it has a single colon.

Thank you all for the guidance, I successfully setup the Vita3k emulation to run in Launchbox with the provided info. The only thing not working is the exit of the game. Hitting ESC button does nothing, I've tried adding: $Esc: { WinClose, ahk_exe Vita3K.exe } and also: $Esc: { WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} } and neither worked.

I was using this plugin initially, but made some re-organization of my library recently and basically no longer need it. I simply replaced all my Wii U games from the Extracted/Loadiine format to the WUX (Wii U Compressed Image Dump Archive). For a little few small/homebrew games I couldn't find wux, I've archived them in 7z and setup LB to extract first before opening. This change makes each game to be a single file (easier maintenance and backup) and therefore the single file could be properly named to the name game, so LB can import them all successfully. P.S. Now I only wish rpcs3 would add support for ISO files instead of extracted format. PS Vita is nightmare to maintain as well. Regards

@jayjay Could the PS3 bulk importer plugin be altered easily to work for PS Vita games as well?

Shouldn't be, I believe the JB format is already decrypted and it plays fine. Also, since we only make an ISO from it without specifying keys etc needed for encryption/decryption, just reading from them should be basically 1:1. I have no explanation what is happening to be honest, but it is not a fault of this script for sure. RPCS3 devs are doing great job, so I expect they would get to disc support sooner rather than later.

Thanks for confirming, so I guess the 2 games I tried are one of those that do not work. As I aim for 100% compatibility even if only some do not work, this would not be a feasible option for me, so the whole "workaround" is a dead end. I guess we would have to wait for rpcs3 devs to add support for discs.

Can anyone that is still using rpcs3 confirm whether ISOs are working for them with rpcs3 irrelevant of whether they just mount them or via this or other script. My problem is not with the script, I just can't get rpcs3 to work with the ISO mount workaround. And yes I know officially rpcs3 does not support ISOs. Regards

@phunky1 yes I have and in fact as I mentioned I initially tried this with a different script, but switched to yours, however issue is with both. Tried a fresh rpcs3 install on a completely different machine - absolutely same issue. I have no idea what's going on, but do not see how this could be my fault as I am following elementary instructions to the letter. And everything works as described until the moment the game is supposed to start, then it all falls apart.

@phunky1 Would you provide some names of games you run successfully in this manner? Also what do you have in Launchbox for the Launching setting of the game (besides pointing to the ISO file?)

Well clearly it is not the same as JB format, as when it is in JB, the files are both read and write, while when in ISO medium it is read only. Can you please give me names of games you run successfully in this manner? Also what do you have in Launchbox for the Launching setting of the game (besides pointing to the ISO file?)

@phunky1 Happy New Year! Yes, the JB format games I try with work properly when started as JB format, but once an ISO is created from them, the problem I described occurs. I tried to create ISO with PS3_ISO_TOOLS V2.2.exe using both options it has and the same issue unfortunately. I was using this script instead of yours till now https://github.com/jayjun911/ps3launcher but decided to try yours, to see if that ain't the problem. However I am having issue with your script - it unmounts the ISO before rpcs3 is able to compile shaders etc. In fact the ISO stays mounted only for a few seconds, which cannot be correct! What am I missing? (I am using WindowsPowershell) P.S. I commented out the last line of code responsible for the unmount, so that ISO is never unmounted now. I get the same errors with both games I test with. Can you give me an example of a working game with this approach?

Hey @phunky1, is there any requirement for the ISO file? Basically what I've did is create an ISO file from my JB format (the ripped game disc) because I am too lazy to rip my discs a second time. What happens is ISO is mounted successfully to a drive, rpcs3 is started and starts compiling shaders and what is required and then I either end up with the game crashing or giving an error of the sort "HDD game is corrupted" (although the game is not HDD but a disc game). I've tried 2 games and one is crashing the other one errors out. I am using ImgBurn app to create the ISO from the folders with everything default settings. Regards

Pretty sure you are missing these steps from the instructions: "When games have been imported, they may not show up til you change platform and change back to playstation 3. Use LB's bulk editor to change emulator."
