Title: Need help setting up Playstation game directory
Post by: psibash on February 04, 2017, 04:01:28 PM
Need help getting RetroFE to list/detect my PSX games when they are in subfolders (if possible). Here is my setup (will use FFVII as an example):

Bin & Cue folder
\collections\Playstation\roms\Final Fantasy VII (USA)\Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 1).cue
\collections\Playstation\roms\Final Fantasy VII (USA)\Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).cue
\collections\Playstation\roms\Final Fantasy VII (USA)\Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3).cue

Playstation collection settings.conf
list.includeMissingItems = false
list.extensions = cue
list.menuSort = yes
launcher = Playstation

Playstation lauchner conf (Playstation.conf)
executable = emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = -f -L .\cores\mednafen_psx_hw_libretro.dll "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

RetroFE will list my games if I dump all my Cue & Bin files directly in the roms folder. Maybe that is how it is meant to be. But if it can work with each game being in their own individual folders, i think I would prefer that? Thoughts?

Add the following line to the PlayStation's settings.conf:
list.romHierarchy = true

That's assuming you're running RetroFE 0.7.20; it was only very recently added.

Nice one Pieter,

Two days? You really should learn how to write scripts sometime...
