[quote=116300]I make EmulationStation only display .cue and .m3u files. That works great to show only one entry for each bin/cue pair. For multi-disk games, I create an m3u file that points to renamed .cue files. I change them to something like .cu2 so that EmulationStation won’t display them. Then you can sway disks in the RGUI.

I was wondering if this would work in EmulationStation! I have done this previously on the Openemu app on osx. Same thing, you create a .m3u playlist file that points to each .cue file (which in turn point to their corresponding .bin files). This allowed multi disk switching through the GUI. I’ve only started using a Raspberry Pi and Retropie but I’ll try this out! If it works it should probably be a pinned post, as there will be no need to convert any bin files into pbp’s.

Apologies for my ignorance, but how would I go about formatting a usb hdd to ext4, can it be done through the raspberry pi 2 terminal? Once the drive is ext4, what would be the procedure for copying roms onto the drive using windows 7.

Also, if I changed the usb port max voltage or used a powered usb hub, would that be sufficient for a non-powered usb hdd?

thanks again!

Thanks a lot. I’ll probably pick myself up a usb hdd and format it with ext4 like you said. usb 2.0 un-powered is cool?
