    Default (PS1) Alltile help about the files.

    Well, I never had any problems with the files, but recently I got Fpse on my phone and it says to always use the .cue file from a .bin/.cue. Whenever I use epsxe I always choose the .bin as I thought its the biggest file from the two, but I never knew that some of the music is lost when using the .bin file. So heres my question, out of all the other files which one do you select?

    .bin/.cue
    .img/.cue

    etc.

    cue sheet always

    for ePSXe use a Virtual drive to run your games Deamon tools lite does the trick there

    some emulators if directly to the bin file directly can only detect the data track the cue file tells whatever software is reading it what tracks are contained in the data file *.bin or *.img

    if you open the cue file in notepad you will see that it lists tracks and start and end of each track

    ePSXe can actually read all tracks from just opening a bin or img file and can't open a cue file at all, but using a virtual drive will fix other issues caused from using the run iso option in ePSXe like freezing FMV scenes or not playing them and freezing before a scene can be shown, it also fixed the CD change bug in various versions of ePSXe

    a few other PSX emulators will tell you open a bin aswell but need a cue file there aswell to enable cdda tracks (sound tracks)
