    Post Almost All Cue Files Wrong

    I'm padding out my collection at the moment but I'm having to hand-correct almost every single game I download as the CUE files for every BIN/CUE pair has been made very specifically and thus would only work on that individuals machine. Here's an example...

    Download Links:
    Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. For example this CUE file specifies that the BIN file is in a folder named "SATURN" on the root of your C drive. A correct, generic CUE file (that will work anywhere) would look like this...

    Download Links:
    Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. ... note the pack of a path. This way it'll assume the BIN file is in the same folder as the CUE file itself (and is named "Panzer Dragoon Saga (Disc 1).bin" obviously).

    Not sure who exactly uploads the files but this may be worth keeping in mind in future and act as a warning for anyone wondering why the games don't work. This isn't unique to the Saturn, it applies to every system on EmuParadise that has CUE/BIN pairs available for download by the looks of it (I've seen the same with PSX and PS2).

    This is a reoccurring problem with many images from uploaders who don't know any better, I used to go through this hell myself until I was enlightened by superior archiving methods like Redump.

    All I can tell ya is if you want a proper dump of a game send me a PM and il try to fulfill it, I have all the saturn greats redumped.
    THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
    If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.

    It's from an old set and easy enough to fix if you know what to look out for though still very annoying

    Can't say I have seen any PSX or PS2 games with the same issue though, but this is a well known issue with the Saturn set uploaded to the main site

    PSX is only a pain for those ecm file and the ecm and ape combos that require converting fully ecm to bin and ecm+ape ones not only need converting to bin+bin or bin+wav but also need to be converted back to a single bin+cue
