RandyMackDaddy 0 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I am currently playing gran turismo for PlayStation (ePSXe) I'm playing the arcade disc..next I want to add and play the simulation disc. Can I combine the.bin & .cue files of disc 1 and 2 in the same gran turismo Rom folder or do I have to have 2 separate games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RandyMackDaddy 0 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 I have both in the folder, but can still only access arcade mode. When I just transfer simulation mode,I can only access that. Then I tried adding simulation first,Then adding arcade. It said successfully transferred 0 games. So both transfer individually fine, but can't seem to combine them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bvcbcvbcvbcvbvcbvcbcv 4 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Wait, if you can combine multi disc games into one file, then does that mean that you won't have to worry about the change disc screen that comes up in game when the disc is over?

RandyMackDaddy 0 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Good question. I did notice when I had both discs in 1 folder, launchbox only showed the .cue files for both discs on the Rom transfer screen. Didn't show either .bin file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You aren't merging the disks, you combine the games in LB so both are under 1 game entry and then you can select which game you want to load using the Additional Apps. Import both games cue files into LB and once they are there you can select both games, right click and combine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bvcbcvbcvbcvbvcbvcbcv 4 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So when you're actually in RetroArch and you need to switch discs, can you do it directly within RetroArch without needing to make a save state, back out, and select it from LaunchBox? I've heard of lots of problems with switching discs back in the ePSXe days. Is it fixed now in RetroArch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lordmonkus 2,651 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Retroarch has it's owb built in disk swapping through the quick menu, this what I have shown here is for launching specific disks from LB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is swapping discs pretty accurate, and bug free now? No crashes or other dumb things happening that shouldn't happen? Does it just work the way it's supposed to like it would in the real hardware when you use RetroArch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lordmonkus 2,651 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 To be perfectly honest I have not played any multi disk games enough to get to the point of swapping disks but Zombeaver and others have and say it works perfectly fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RandyMackDaddy 0 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 How does big box handle 2 discs in one folder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lordmonkus 2,651 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 What do you mean ? It handles them just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin_Flynn 43 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There was a forum in the past which provided the necessary files to merge most PS1 games into a single file so you didn't need to switch discs. I've played games from start to finish and can say it works. I don't know the site anymore as I've converted all my games already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RandyMackDaddy 0 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Meaning, will big box show 2 different games or will it combine them and you can play through without having to change games (discs)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can have it show separated or combined, your choice. You will have to swap disks because that's on the emulator, not LB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
