Display only .cue files for Sega Mega CD #314

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The Mega CD support is a great feature and it is working very well with a set 
containing:
 - 1 .cue
 - 1 .iso file (first track of the ripped game CD)
 - n .wav files (the rest of the tracks)

The problem is that genplus can handle .cue files (using .iso+.wav) as well as 
stand-alone .iso files (with music tracks). So when I click on the "Open Mega 
CD game", the .wav files are not displayed, but the two files left (.iso and 
.cue) are displayed for a single game.
When several games are installed it's just a mess, and for newbies it's hard to 
know you must launch .cue instead of the .iso .

A nice and simple feature would be to add an option to display only .cue files 
in the file manager when opening a Mega CD game.

Well, i don't want to do that for several reasons, first being that i think 
adding too much options actually confuse things instead. Then, cue file are not 
necessary with iso+wav files, providing wav files are named properly. As for 
directories being a mess, well, use subdirectories, that's what they are for.
Finally, about newbies, there is a readme explaining all these things.

Thx for the quick -but detailed- reply. This evolution was for confort only
so if you think it is useless I am ok with that.
About Sega CD support do you think MP3 will be handled will be implemented
some day, or is the GameCube/Wii hardware not powerfull enough to manage
real-time decoding ?

By the way thanks a lot for the great work you have done so far.
