Retroarch and CHD?

[Zeaede]

This is how it looks when selected Sega CD and moduls in RL

Yes, all I can say is it all works fine with chd files using that core on latest RA 1.92.

You will need to check all your settings and make sure they are all correct, as I don't know what else to say regarding your setup apart from what I have already mentioned.

Your plugin says Hyperspin, change it to Launchbox in RL tab and see if that helps

If it didn't worked with CHD RA outside LB and RL

And CHD was not in the extension i would have understand

But im totally lost when it works with CHD RA outside LB and RL and CHD is in the extensions?

You was right, it was selected on Hyperspin

Changed it to Launchbox, but still same results not launching

When i go after your setting

 

It ends up like this when launching game LB > RL > RA

Any ideas?

I noticed i have a red varning label, it says  module has a dublicate ID

Coulde this cause issues?

[Zeaede]

To make it more weird

I got another system to play CHD through Launchbox > Rocketlauncher > Retroarch

So at least it works

I was converting things to CHD a few weeks ago and ran into the same issue with Sega CD, i just tried without RL (as i hadnt before) and yes it works.

Both PS1 and Saturn CHDs work ok through RL.

Ok i fixed it by removing the highlighted text in the Retroarch.ahk.

I don't really know what im doing though so make a backup.

Basically chd didn't work because RocketLaunchers AHK script wasn't looking for them.

Even better is to ADD chd to that text instead of deleting it.

{    If !StringUtils.Contains(romExtension, "\.bin|\.cue|\.iso|\.chd")
                ScriptError("RetroArch only supports Sega CD games in bin|cue|iso|chd format. It does not support:`n" . romExtension)

 

The attached ahk now works with chd files for Sega D using RA.

Good point! Thanks, I don't know why i didn't consider that.

I just noticed that PC Engine CD has the same issue so made the same changes.

[Zeaede]

All my CHD system is working with RA, just not with SEGA CD

But i get it to work with RA outside LB RL

[Lordmonkus]

Check your RL module and see if it has support for CHD files in it. My guess is that it doesn't have it updated.
