Option to hide .cue files #416

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I was wondering if you've ever thought about adding an option to hide .cue 
files in the menu. This would make browsing of CD games a bit cleaner.  

It's nothing major...just a suggestion.

It could easily be made optional but I don't think it's a good idea to give 
this possibility because you are actually supposed to load the CUE file if 
there is one,  since it holds all the required informations for the emulator to 
know the disc layout.

If you are using an ISO file with WAV or OGG files, the CUE file is only useful 
when the audio files are not named exactly like the ISO file or use some 
unexpected naming scheme, otherwise it does not bring any valuable infos and 
can safely be deleted by yourself.

If you are using a BIN file, the CUE file must always somehow be loaded 
otherwise you won't get any CD audio during the game as it is impossible to 
figure where the audio tracks are located in the BIN file. The emulator will 
automatically try to load a CUE file with the same basename as the BIN file if 
you load the BIN file directly but they often do not share the same name.
