    chd compression support PCSX2 (PlayStation 2)

    in Noobs

    Posted · Edited by Ʉ₦₳VØ₩ɆĐ

    I made this bat so I could extract, convert, delete one at a time.

     

    Extract to folder containing the .zip files you wish to convert then run the batch file.

     

    It will-

    1. extract the first rom (.zip, .7z, .rar) to a new folder

    2. convert it to chd

    3. delete remaining extracted files

    4. delete original zip file

    5 move on to the next rom in the folder.

     

    Very useful if you have say 1000 ps2 roms and not enough space to extract them all before converting.

     

    **EDIT

    Just realised I renamed the chdman.exe to _chdman.exe, so you will need to do the same, or edit the bat.

     

    **EDIT 2

    If the roms to be converted are zipped inside a folder "DO NOT" use this bat.

      

    set new_dir=new_dir
mkdir %new_dir%

for %%f in (*.zip, *.7z, *.rar) do (
  rem Extract files to folder %new_dir%
  7za.exe x -y -o%new_dir% "%%f"
  rem Change dir to %new_dir%
  pushd %new_dir%
  rem Convert
  FOR %%i IN (*.cue, *.gdi, *.iso) DO "%~dp0_chdman.exe" createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd"
  rem Delete files
  del /q /s *.bin 
  del /q /s *.cue 
  del /q /s *.img 
  del /q /s *.sub 
  del /q /s *.ccd 
  del /q /s *.mdf 
  del /q /s *.mds
  del /q /s *.iso
  popd
  rem Delete archive
  del /q /s "%%f"
)
pause

    Thanks :)

    its a 27" 16:10 monitor. kinda regret the 16:10 as it died a little wile ago and soooo hard to replace these days. ended up buying parts and fixing it.
    and yer i have ran all the old mk games, button layout deliberately has the X pattern for them and the run button under thumb.
    also works beautiful for 6 button fighters.

    You dont need anything extra to launch games in cemu, what are you actually trying to accomplish?

    i have my own per game configs that i load with each game.

    For instance, some work better for me in opengl, some in vulkun.

    I have different control setups for different games, like super mario U to work in multiplayer, they just swap around with the bat files.

     

    what im trying to accomplish is keeping the above options, and being able to close with back+select. the AHK .exe method should do it.

    If you compile the AHK into an Exe you could start the Exe with the bat file before starting the emulator. 

     

    actually this is what i thunked of when i was trying to get to sleep lol.
    Thanks :)

    Or if the system has numerous games on it that all use the same emulator, could you not set up a bat file that captures the variable of the rom pathway/name from Launchbox and loads that. Then you can set that bat file as the emulator, calling the emulator whatever you want, Eg System Name emulator. This would let you use all the emulator tabs and options. 

    I like this idea, not sure it will work in this instance though, as its Cemu and the rom pathway/names are the reason i launch each game with its own bat files

    Thanks again :)

    All Playlists Are Empty After Changing One Parent Category

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by STAINLESS
    Solved

    I have imported some mame roms as Arcade, during which I selected to create Playlists for MAME sub categories (capcom classics etc.) 

    That all worked as planned perfectly.

    Once done, I created some more sub categories in Arcade called Arcade Systems, Arcade Collections, Arcade Genre.

    Plan is to move all the "Classics" into Arcade Collections, and all the "Systems" into Arcade Systems.

    But...

    When I change one playlists parent category, eg. Capcom Classics from Arcade to Arcade Collections, all the generated playlists become unpopulated (empty). Not just the one I moved, ALL of them.

    *EDIT...

    Actually I moved two playlists if it makes a difference.

    One to Arcade Collections sub category, and one to Arcade Systems sub category.

     

    *Edit 2...

    Solved... I renamed Arcade to All Arcade, this is what messed it all up.

    Damn son, you are not a half-asser are you? Looks great!

    Can you explain your reasoning for the button layout? Does it help when playing console games? I was thinking about using my arcade buttons/stick for console games, but ended up opting for an Xbox One joystick since it makes hitting the left/right bumpers more natural.

    Thanks man.

    As for the button layout, it works for the 5 button cross format for mortal kombat with the run button at your thumb.

    the last 6 buttons also work for the street fighters.

     

    But if your asking about why i have what button where, it was purely for Mortal Kombat 11, but I changed my mind and now need to print little stickers to stick over the button labels.

    its now

    Decided to have a crack at building a BigBox based arcade cabinet.

    Will be running PC, Mame and consoles. Not looking at putting 400,000,000 roms, just around 50-100 of the best for each system.

    Going with MK11 theme, artwork by https://www.mk-arcade-restore.com

    Now I did have an issue with the CPO being missprinted, you can see a white stipe along the top that should not be there, and too much image being cut off at the bottom. I let them know at https://www.mk-arcade-restore.com and they immediately reprinted it and sent a new one. Very impressed with that.

    Hired help at work once again, laying the re-printed artwork.
