Tegago Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 First of all, sorry for my bad english. Is there anyway to launchbox work with my psx games who are zipped in 7zip? Also, im using retroarch, scph files are fine.
SentaiBrad Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 The latest beta does have support for games that are archived, but currently I don't believe multiple files per zip / rar are supported. There will be an update in the future regarding this. If space isn't an issue I would suggest to leave them out of the archives though honestly, but that is my personal opinion.

That is the problem, space! hahaha, thanks anyway!
DOS76 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 PS1 games in .bin/.cue do work in the latest beta there were some issues initially but I think Jason fixed them.

CADScott Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I know that this does work for PS1 games running through Retroarch, I tried it and LaunchBox extracted the bin/cue file properly and ran it in Retroarch. It looks as though you have not checked the extract rom from archive checkbox in the Retroarch emulator settings inside LaunchBox. The issue with using LaunchBox to extract Retroarch games is that the setting will be common for all platforms, so if you use Retroarch for any other systems, they will all extract first. This would not be an issue, but Retroarch also defaults to writing save files to the rom directory, which in this case is not the place where your zipped rom is, but instead is in the 7Zip/temp directory in LaunchBox. This means that all the saves are in a single place for all systems, which could create problems if there are common names across systems, and makes it very easy to lose them as they are stored in a temp directory. It also means that old saves you have before the roms were compressed will not show up in game. I experimented with zipping my PSX roms, and went back to uncompressed due to the save issues.

That option comes by default? right? So im pretty sure i left as it was, anyway, as you said, i think is better do with .cue/.iso
DOS76 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 No the option has to be turned on go to tools manage emulators click on your PSX emulator and hit edit there will be a checkbox to turn it on.
