starfiretbt Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I have a bin file and launchbox won't recognize it. Edited April 20, 2017 by starfiretbt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Generally I would always say point launchbox at the .cue file. That is mostly the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It looks like it's file extension is missing. First, in that "browse for CD window", in the bottom right is a drop down menu, change that to all. If the file appears, try to load that up. If it gives you an error or does nothing, it might be because the file extension is missing. You can re-add it back by renaming the file and adding .bin to the end of it.

Lordmonkus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The problem though is that its a PC game and not a console game. You will most likely need to install the game using the DOSBox import wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most situations, sure, the cue or ccd sheet is prefered for emulation, but this is for DOS it looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yep, that's why I asked platform after. Realised it wasn't psx or Saturn. Much more helpful people than me here now so I will bow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfiretbt Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 The platform is dos and switching to all files worked, launchbox sees the other file, however it only works on the "install DOS game" option which forces me to choose between the bin file and the cue file. Is there a way to do run both files because the game isn't installing right and the "import" wizard doesn't recognized either file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You may want to to just install it manually via DOSBox. That's what I normally do with DOS games. I mount them to a virtual drive and then install them in DOSBox. Here's an example of how I did this with Rayman: The process is basically the same from one game to another. You mount the location where you want to install the game as C: and the location of the virtual drive as D:, change to the D: drive, and install the game.
