You don't need to add it it is already present

I can launch my rom with the wrong associated platform name if i add the CL to the global setting

Because it's a global setting for the emulator and not the associated platforms window.

[Coleman]

Yeah - mine is working, just had to change the platform name to TurboGrafx-16.
Im guessing you renamed the associated platform in the RetroArch dialog and not the platform itself?
Or you imported the system at a time when the import wizard allowed you to enter the name instead of pick from a list?

Now to get the CD games working...

You can still name your platform whatever you want on import, you just type in the name instead of picking from the list.

yeah you should change it in the RA associated platform settings to match your platform not the other way around. If you changed the name from what you imported as and you refresh images for that platform you probably won't have any media.

[Coleman]

Hmm. Images are still ok.
maybe because i used files in current location, and did not move into LB directory?

So as i am trying to setup the PC Engine CD games it appears that my set of cue files might be bad.
I got the set about a year ago, and i am wondering if anyone has run into this issue on here.
Google tells me i am not the first person to encounter this from the same time period, but i am having trouble following a fix other then just re grabbing the roms...
Any suggestions?

I know i have RA setup with the bios files correct, and if i run roms not from the set they work.
But once i get past the bios screen to load the image i get a an error loading message and hit a wall.
I can pull down new roms manually 1 at a time, but that seems like an awful waste if someone has a better idea

Rom location and images have nothing to do with each other, changing the platform name in LB may mess with them though.

You haven't told us what your exact problem is with your CD games and Launchbox. Do your games work in Retroarch on its own ?

[Coleman]

No - dropping the rom into RetroArch produces the same result as launching from launchbox.

cue files are either blank or nonsense...

Grabbing a single game with a proper cue sheet works fine - so it looks like my set just has messed up .cue files

Ok, yeah then your disk images are bad and you will most likely have to source new ones.

If you want to copy and paste the text from one of your cue files maybe there is a simple fix. Some times cue files can have full paths in them pointing to the .bin file and if yours aren't following that exact folder structure it will cause issues.

[Coleman]

Here is an example that is not blank.
Most of the are empty.
If sourcing new ones is the way to go... it is what it is.

Ys I & II - Ancient Ys Vanished (HCD4074) (Japan).cue

Ys I & II - Ancient Ys Vanished (HCD4074) (Japan).img

If that matches your .img file then it should work in Retroarch. That is a supported file type and it says it's a TruRip image..

But if it's not working then it looks like you may be best to source new disk images.
