Help with .m3u's and .chd compression.

[djweevil]

Can someone help me to make a m3u for multi disc games in retroarch 4do. I have converted the iso and cues to .chd.

I may be wrong, but I believe CHDs are specific to MAME/MESS, so I don't think you can use an M3U to load a multi-disc game in this format, but you can try.

To create an M3U, use any plain text editor (Notepad) to list your BIN/CUE discs (or ISO if that's what you've got). Just add the full filenames including extension for each item.

Example:

Chrono Cross (Disc01).bin

Chrono Cross (Disc01).cue

Chrono Cross (Disc02).bin

Chrono Cross (Disc02).cue

 

Instead of saving the file as a TXT, save it with M3U as the extension and call it the title of the game (keep it in the same directory as the actual files themselves): Chrono Cross.m3u

In RA, just point your loaded core to this file to load the game.

CHD was originally made for MAME but many RA cores now support them including the 4DO core.
