SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Disable the DVD plugin in the plugins menu and it should work fine. Edit: You only need it if you have real discs in your PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Where it says CDVD, click the dropdown and select the null plugin, or with that Plugin selected hit configure and make sure the Source Drive says @ (no disc). https://i.imgur.com/sBb1Lw3.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Re-reading your post, don't run the cue sheet. I don't even have cue sheets for my PS2 games, they're all in CSO format to save space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even have cue sheets for my PS2 games, they're all in CSO format to save space. As i said my games are all in 7zip i cant just extract everything and remove the cue files,i know that the bin file works fine,but wat i need is for launchbox to run the bin instead of the cue.If cue isnt present launchbox starts the bin but if cue is present in the archive it runs the cue file and pcsx2 wont work.

SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Right, I think LB is prioritizing cue sheets for systems that require the game to be launched from it. Without waiting for an update to that functionality I would either make the iso's CSO files or remove the cue sheets from the archives. Something about the cue sheets PCSX2 is trying to launch them differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yea that would be tough. Will it happen? Sure eventually everything will happen. When the feature was first rolled out there was an issue with users who need to launch cue sheets for PS1 and Saturn where it's required. The feature at first would rarely launch the game or it would launch not from the cue sheet. We never had someone test PS2 games because we honestly suggest users don't archive Disc based games for load time reasons, and even then I don't think any of us launch our PS2 games from cue sheets. So honestly you're just the first person to have this specific issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XoRRoX Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Kristijan1001 is there a specific reason you want to keep the .cue files? And did you test to see if there's any/much size difference between the .7z and .cso (compressed iso)? If there's no need for the .cue files, you could unpack your files, delete the .cue files and repack to cso files. Like Brad said, that would also reduce the loading times (for unpacking your 7z) because PCSX2 can read the cso directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too had this same issue and I solved it via a batch file, it's a hack, but it works. I set LaunchBox to launch the following batch file for PCSX2 with no extra commands so my sample command line looks like this: LaunchPCSX2.bat "File" I made a batch file named LaunchPCSX2.bat saved next to the pcsx2.exe and in that file I put the following code @echo off start "" /wait pcsx2.exe --fullscreen "%~d1%~p1%~n1.bin" So what it's doing is extracting the drive letter the path and the file-name without the extension and putting them all back together with a hard-coded ".bin" on the end and launching pcsx2. Of course the AutoHotkey ESC to close doesn't work because it's not actually closing the emulator itself. Ideally LaunchBox would let us choose in the Manage Emulators settings which file to launch with the emulator but I certainly understand why .cue is preferred by default. Unfortunately PCSX2 doesn't support .cue files, oddly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 You could also set up Rocketlauncher as your emulator for just PS2. It already has the functionality to unzip and launch your .bin files before your .cue files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnluckyForSome Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I've created a small intermediary script which solves this problem and allows LaunchBox to launch both .ISO and .BIN even if the archive contains .CUE's.

ZackWatson Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have encountered this problem too with some of mine, what I did to fix the problem is Edit the information about the game in launchbox and change the ROM file path that it has in there so that it diverts to the .bin file instead of the .cue file. hope this works for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reubadoob Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks @ZackWatson simple solution that worked easily. Now getting PCSX2 to play the game smoothly is entirely separate challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
