Trouble Opening Sega CD Games on Launchbox

[Lordmonkus]

Are you telling Launchbox to extract it first ?

Launchbox may be trying to load the first file in the archive which may be the .bin file of the disk image. I have my CD based games extracted and imported the.cue file into Launchbox.

hmm so i should extract them in tro a file that have a bin and cue file in and import the cue file or tick the option in retroarch to extract the files or LB to extract them?

[Lordmonkus]

Try ticking the extract box first and see if that works, if not then you will want to extract your disk image and import the cue file.

i tired to extract disck image and put the cue file doesnt work il try now to extract option on retroarch

[Lordmonkus]

It may be trying to load the first file in the archive which could be the bin file and RA doesn't work with loading the bin file.

[kostas]

i tried the extract method mouse pointer loaded for a while and then nothing 

[Lordmonkus]

Your disk image could be bad then, Retroarch is picky over its bios and disk image dumps and there are a lot of bad disk dumps out there.

[kostas]

i got it from paradise and so far never run into any bad roms  il try another site then

 

[Lordmonkus]

Their disk images are hit or miss, I have gotten lots of good dumps from there and I have gotten lots of bad ones as well.

Have you tried unzipping a game and just loading the .cue in Retroarch? Leave Launchbox out of it for the moment.

[kostas]

No neil il try that and let you know asap give me 5 sec

 

[Lordmonkus]

Always get things working outside of Launchbox first.
