The bat file should work with any system provided it has the above directory set up and utilizes cue files The bat file will create m3us in every subdirectory which holds at least 1 cue file (it doesn't single out multidisk games as it is now, so be aware of that) The bat file will name the m3u after the directory the cue files are in and place it in that same directory The bat file should be run from the main directory
Main Directory//.cueĮ.g Sony Playstation/Chrono Cross/disk 1.cue, disk 2.cue Your games directory should look like this: I also tested whether or not single cue m3us would work in Retroarch, and it turns out they do. So I asked on Stack Overflow and, not long after, some genuis had posted a working batch script. I also wanted to have m3us with relative paths to the cue files, for simplicity sake.
PCSX2 BIOS ROM 1.2.1 GENERATOR
The new m3u auto generator for Launchbox is a great tool, but it also got me wondering if I couldn't create m3u files for every one of my Sony Playstation titles (including single disk games) and would that work in Retroarch? Something just appeals to me about the uniform file extension on import in Launchbox, and of course, if I wanted to launch games outside of the Launchbox environment I'd need some static m3us. Here is the original question I asked on the forums about solving this: Make sure to remove all other XML files for the newly consolidated platform from the Data\Platforms folder or Launchbox may use one of those old/undesired files Script will generate a file called -consolidated backup your previous XML file and then rename the new file to take its place Platform XML files are located at LaunchBox\Data\Platforms Note: the platform should not have been consolidated already (i.e., it should have no additional apps for any game)

Enter a full path to the platform you wish to consolidate Double click on the script or run it via command line `python path/to/file` It seemed to work for me now I only see one entry per game and I have the option of "additional apps" for the others.
So I wrote a script that imitates what the tool did for my PlayStation library. I had a lot of duplicate MS-DOS games, and when I tried to use the "Consolidate roms for MS-DOS" tool, it would just say "The selected platform is not an emulated ROM-based platform." But I had so many duplicates that not consolidating them was not an option.
