Handling Track Files

[Drakkorcia]

What are your preferred methods for dealing with the multiple track files that are generated when importing games for CD based consoles like Playstation, Saturn, etc? I would like to know if any of you have automatic ways of dealing with this. Thanks to any who share their wisdom on this.

You deal with it by not importing them, you only import the .cue files.

Okay, thank you. I import the entire folder so what is the best way to only import the cues?

Go to the folder with your roms and put *.cue in the windows search box, highlite them all with CTRL A and drag them onto the Launchbox window.

Ah, yes. Thank you. Sure beats using CD Mage to combine the multiple bins although it does make for a cleaner collection down the road.

Depending on the emulator you are using you could also convert them to CHD, so one file per disc.
