Launch PSX CHD in Retroarch VIA LaunchBox?

[SuperDerpBro]

Recently found out Beetle supports compressed CHD PS1 games but they fail to launch from LaunchBox while BIN/CUE launch fine.. Any ideas?

 

EDIT: Just in case someone stumbles across this in the future..

That is where i first found out about how to do it. Works great.

Here are the required files.

Cue or GDI to CHD.zip

I just looked in my info file for PSX and no chd was listed so I updated both the core and the info file and after that it shows chd as a excepted file type.

Derp. I'm a dummy.. Who woulda thunk it., Update the danged core. ROFL.  Thanks!

can someone give me a link to that webpage so I can copy paste the text to try it out please

[DOS76]

I don't have a link but I blew up the image and typed the text into my search bar.
for /r %%i in (*cue, *.gdi) do chdman createcd -i "%%~ni.chd

[orac31]

thanks cant seem to get it to work but will keep trying

Yeah I have no clues as I've never used the program at all I just copied what the text says. I've seen CHDman in my MAME folder tons of times but never used it for anything.

Thanks Doss76 I put it in the search bar and found the redit post used

for /r %%i in (*.cue, *.gdi) do chdman createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd

and that worked 

[DOS76]

lol well I'm sure it didn't help that I left out some of the code DOH

The PC i am using for a small emulator box is to slow for demul i guess . Is there a way to boot CHDs with nulldc? Reicast in Retroarch just crashes with every game i try.
