Can't load compressed cue+bin.

[ofry]

Test case:

Any PSX game with cue+bin or cue+many bins in same archive. (example - from redump set).

If I try to open archive as folder and load .cue from it, then: 1) Extracted to cache folder ONLY this cue, not bin. 2) When core tried to load .bin, it will crash, because it isn't present in cache dir.

Have you checked if the referenced .bin files have the correct case inside the .cue file?

Edit: Just noticed you mentioned a compressed file, so my suggestion might not apply.

[ofry]

Yes. And my OS is Windows 8.1 x64, so FILE.bin and File.bin and file.bin is same filename.

You can currently only load .bin files from an archive, which means that multi-disc/track games are not supported this way. If you choose the cue file instead of the bin, it's not smart enough to extract the other file(s) yet.

this is a similar behavior with the issue i posted in pce-cd, it will only extract the cue sheet but not the iso/bin

It's not supported... compressing cue+bins is rather pointless anyway since extracting would take a looooong time and use quite a bit of ram and would need to be performed every single time you load the game.

Also what if a user has 100 roms (goodsets for instance) and loads one. We either extract everything from the zip or we write a cue parser.

And then what if someone want's to use the toc format or any other format.

And what about a multi cue + multi bin m3u.

Supporting every possible combination of things under the sun won't help us. It will make the codebase huge and full of bugs.

Redump sets have format: game.zip => (cue + bins for this cue) or game (disc 1).zip => (cue + bins for disc 1 only).

So if user is pirate and uploading from his PC, he ought to have compressed and uncompressed sets either :( More than double disk space usage :(

[andres-asm]

My point stands.

[ofry]

And I think CUE and M3U parsers will help to create playlists from RA.

Maybe, if VFS will merge, then if core "asks" more files, then try to get it same way as initial file.
