Nope, and having them in folders like that is perfect. That's what I do as well. All you need to do for the .m3u is put in the filename (no paths necessary) of each .cue, in order, one per line: Final Fantasy VII (Disc 1).cue Final Fantasy VII (Disc 2).cue Final Fantasy VII (Disc 3).cue Obviously the .m3u has to be in the same location (folder) as the disc images though.

Honestly it shouldn't matter how you're importing them as far as the disc that LB automatically picks as the default. Ordinarily it should be grabbing disc 1 as the default automatically. @Jason Carr might be able to shed some light on what would be causing it do choose differently as it's done on the backend. My experience has been that it's typically pretty good about picking the first disc correctly. Every once in a while it does seem to get a little bit confused (usually if there's some weird file naming involved) but it usually gets it right (for me anyway). I'm assuming there's some amount of logic where it's supposed to check for "Disc 1" or "Disk 1" or "Disk A" or "Side A" etc. but I'm not sure what the exact details are. I'd definitely encourage you to consider doing the .m3u or .pbp method in any case; it just provides better functionality and a better experience. It literally takes less than a second while you're playing. I have (on the numpad) 0 bound to my "open/close tray" button, - bound to "previous disc", + bound to next disc, so when I need to change from disc 1 to 2, all I have to do is press 0, +, 0 and then keep right on going.

I'm not sure why it'd be using 4 as the default honestly. You can always change it after the fact by editing the entry, selecting a different disc in the additional apps section, and telling it to use disc 1 as the default. Honestly though, you shouldn't be importing separate disc images anyway. It's not hurting anything to do that, but it's very far from ideal when it comes to actually playing the games themselves. Having them as individual discs in additional apps doesn't provide you with any sort of disc swapping functionality in-emulator. Basically you would have to save the game, exit the emulator, load up the second disc, and then load the game and continue. And this is assuming that the game prompts you to save as part of the disc swap (which nearly all do, to be fair, but not all). The only other option with separate images is to do some trickery with save stating. None of these options are ideal. What you should be doing is using either .m3us or .pbps for your multi-disc games. These allow you to change discs in-emulator without ever having to exit - just like you would if you were playing an actual PSX. When you get to a section prompting you to swap discs, you press a key to "open/close tray", a key for "next disc" (or previous), and then "open/close tray" again and keep right on playing. You can import these as your "roms" for multidisc games in LB. .m3u's just require you to create a text file with the name of each .cue and then rename the filetype from .txt to .m3u. I've got some instructions here. .pbps are basically the same thing, but they're created using a program called PSX2PSP. You just indicate the discs you want it to use and then it'll export a .pbp file. These also provide a minor amount of compression which is nice. A few games seem to have some compatibility issues with these though. I use .m3us myself.

Honestly, that's fairly rare. Typically you'll only see that on really big (AAA) titles that have some kind of multiplayer component. For most games, especially indie games, you'll be fine. You're also assuming that these games will ever be on GOG. GOG has some indie titles, sure, but the catalog is still pretty small. About half of what I've picked up so far is on GOG currently. Don't get me wrong, I love GOG and I use it all the time. I've got about 400 titles in my GOG library. I wouldn't let that dissuade me from going for a good deal on Steam though. Speaking of which... I picked up some more stuff (because of course I would).

Alternately you could also try RA MAME. The majority of my MAME stuff I do via RA. That's kindof a whole other can of worms though...

I'm kindof at a loss at this point unless it actually is some Creator's Update thing (and I'm not sure why that'd have anything to do with it, but who knows). When I said that LB is essentially a collection of Windows shortcuts, I was being quite literal. I say that because you can, in fact, directly replicate LB behavior outside of LB simply with a Windows shortcut. For example: I made a Windows shortcut to MAME, and then simply added in the path to the game that I wanted to launch (in this case Berzerk) in quotes at the end. So the full path in the target field below is: C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\MAME\mame64.exe "C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\Test\berzerk.zip" In MAME I have the rom paths setup for both "C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\MAME\roms\" and "C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\Test\" I then made another shortcut for 1944, which is located in MAME\roms\: In this case the full target path is C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\MAME\mame64.exe "C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\MAME\roms\1944.zip"C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\MAME\roms\: C:\Users\cojones\Downloads\Test\: Both of these shortcuts work. And LB is literally doing no more or less than this. It is saying "Take this file and direct it at this other file." It has no deeper interaction with MAME (or any other emulator, for that matter, with the exception of DOSBox) than that. This is on Windows 7, so I can't speak to Windows 10, but all I can say is the behavior you're experiencing is not normal.

Everything looks good there assuming your games are in the folder named "ROMS" in that first screenshot. Beyond that I'd just like to see the "Emulator" tab for the game in LB, and then a screenshot of the corresponding emulator entry (you can click "Edit" from the "Emulator" tab in a library entry).

Yep. It's in the folder. It's in the post I linked above.

Please please please please please just check your MAME.ini. Please. I'm seriously begging you. I'm not trolling, I'm not being mean, I'm 100% serious - please just check your MAME.ini and see what it has as the rompath. Please.

So not gonna answer my question then?

Open your mame.ini (Mameui64 -> Ini) What do you have in the "rompath" section out of curiosity? Yet that doesn't seem to stop you from being very certain that it's LB's fault, despite the fact that we've all shown you evidence to the contrary.

Rom location: MAMEUI location: MAMEUI "Roms" folder: LB entry: As @lordmonkus said, LB doesn't care where they are. LB is essentially a visually pleasing, easily organizable collection of Windows shortcuts. You're saying "I want you to direct this file [rom] to his executable [emulator]". That's it.

Moooore purchases. I went looking though the "metroidvania" tag.

This is your regularly scheduled "Anachronox is on sale" PSA. I gotta do it. It's on sale. It's less than $2. Everyone should play it. That is all. http://store.steampowered.com/app/242940/Anachronox/

Yeah, the LBA games are good. Worth playing.

Yep haha. I've still got 337 games on my wishlist and about half of them are on sale. I should probably clear some of that crap out - if it's on sale for $1 and I still don't buy it I can probably remove it. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Zombeav/wishlist

Well the only way to do that without actually showing separate entries for each game would be to do them via a single entry + additional apps (either added manually or via consolidation). You could name the additional apps "Commodore 64", "VIC-20" etc. and direct each to the appropriate game/emulator at which point they'll show up in the right-click menu in LB or in the details menu in BB. To be honest with you, even if you were to go through the process of doing all this, I don't think it's going to have the impact that you think it will. If you're having performance issues, it's probably not because you have 10 different Mario games in your library.

The only other thing I could think of would be to consolidate them all by doing something like going to "All" in LB, entering something like "Mario", selecting them all, and then consolidating them into one entry - you'd still have to choose a platform for it though, and it'd only show up in that one platform. I'm not sure how the emulators would be individually parsed into the additional apps either, you might have to still set them manually once they're pulled in. It'd still be some manual work and it'd only show up in a single platform. I don't think you'd want all the related games in the details panel honestly. There's kindof a lot of information there already, between images, videos, and metadata - I think it'd kindof be a mess with those added in.

Well... it's that time again... the time when we must all appease the Steam god or risk facing lord Gaben's wrath. And so, with humble supplication, we expand our hoard of games that we'll probably never play. And it was good... ish. ... So! Anybody get anything good?

I make it a point to try and find new stuff as often as possible, and it's always equal parts exciting and sad when it turns out that practically nobody else listens to them.

Hmmm... well they're on bandcamp as well: https://monomorte.bandcamp.com/album/coven-xxiii https://monomorte.bandcamp.com/album/ad-extremvm https://monomorte.bandcamp.com/album/the-three-mothers

I just found this guy a couple hours ago and I've now listened to most of the stuff he's released at this point - really enjoyable stuff. Makes me think of something you'd hear in a vampire night club. A bit industrial, a bit ambient, a bit electronic... good stuff.

I've got one of these. It's not amazing or anything but it does what I need it to do and it was cheap. It works well with all the Android emulators I've thrown at it.

Info on the shader changes: https://www.libretro.com/index.php/shader-changes/ "...users with Nvidia or AMD GPUs must update their RetroArch installation [to 1.6.0] if they want to use the updated shaders. Users with Intel IGPs will be no worse off if they don’t update, since those shaders were already broken for them, but they’ll probably *want* to update to gain access to the many fancy shaders that now work properly on their machines. Mobile GPUs using GLES had many of the same issues that Intel IGPs had, with many shaders refusing to work without #version directives, but GLES compatibility added in a further complication: GLES requires its own separate #version directives, either #version 100 es or #version 300 es, which are different from and incompatible with desktop GL’s #versions. To get around this, we added a trick in RetroArch to change any #version of 120 or below to #version 100, which is roughly comparable in features to 120, and any #version 130 or above to #version 300 es whenever a GLES context is used. This should get everything working as effectively and consistently as possible on mobile GPUs, but if anything slipped through the cracks, be sure to file an issue report at the GLSL shader repo." I'm not sure what your video card is, but that could also be an issue.
