AFAIK this core only supports single .bin/.cue pairs - looks like you'll need to combine those two tracks into one image (I use daemon tools to mount it and ImgBurn to write out a cue/bin pair)

gingerbeardman commented 6 years ago

OK I'll try that, thanks

I used Liquid CD to mount the cue+2 bin files and write out as cue+1 bin file. Useful!

But it still doesn't work. Same issue "no items" display and "failed to load content" OSD message when selecting the cue.

I have tried multiple games and also tried moving games to a path name with no spaces or odd characters

still no joy

odd that the games work in OpenEmu, whose Saturn core is based on same code, with no modification.

Oops. I forgot to put the 2x bios files in the system folder.

I would expect a better error message in this instance?

hiddenasbestos commented 6 years ago

hah, I've done that :)

That's a bit of a deficiency in the libretro api - you ask it to "load a game" and it says yes/no. Requires the front-end to have meta-data about the core to check things like bios files exist, etc. Maybe something for API v2 ...
