PSX files with a lot of tracks

[tiagonetopt]

My “Re-Volt” Rom have 3 tracks.bin

When I have the 3 files in my raspberry the game work, but only one launch the game and I still can see 3 files in emulator.

How can I make it only one file?

There are some differing opinions, but what I do is edit /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and remove the .bin/.BIN files from the PSX entry. This was only the .cue files will show up in Emulationstation.

u should always have a *.cue with *.bin

If those extra bins are audio tracks, you can merge them into one like this:

I’ve come across some ROMs which have one .bin and several .ape tracks, could I do a similar sort of thing Floob?

Yep – the link above covers that really well, the .ape are typically audio tracks that you can convert to .bin then merge back into a single .bin that the .cue file then has pointers to the various audio files.

Here is an example of the WipeOut2097 cue file pointing to where the audio is in the single .bin file: http://pastebin.com/raw/NaaPNrnh

Takes about 20min to get your head around it the first time, but when youve done it once its quick and easy to run through it for lots of games (or at least the games that have embedded audio tracks).
