[Update] multiMAN 04.19.00 -- Adds PS1 ISO/BIN Support

[deank]

As for all retro roms/iso/cso mM expects:

in PSXISO/PSXGAMES folders:

My_Game_bla_bla.iso
My_Game_bla_bla.jpg
or
My_Game_bla_bla.png


If using IRIS path-format (one game per folder) than

/PSXGAMES/My_Game
/PSXGAMES/My_Game/Name_of_game.ISO
/PSXGAMES/My_Game/Name_of_game.jpg
or
/PSXGAMES/My_Game/COVER.JPG

If you rip a PS1 game from disc with mM it will probably find the cover for you (if you have FULL version of internet connection).

First of all, stop trying to be a moderator and the nerd talk...just pathetic, also you are trying to be helpful by what, confirming my answer? you are a d.cikhead sir.

wow r0c0, who pissed in your Cheerios? He was, yes confirming your answer, but he also added helpful links and his own opinions, that's what he/we (before I even was a moderator) do/did! He/we are just helpful people in that aspect

my bad. that's almost better than just doing cover.jpg.

i don't care much for covers luckily since well, there are names and i don't have a bunch backed up yet.

Me thinks someone simply doesn't understand the concept of multi-quote.
If all he is looking at is from the front page (instead of going into the forum area), all it shows is reply. Doesn't have the option to multi-quote.

it actually wasn't that, he post the same mirror link for multiMAN three times (that he just happened to put down in posts prior to )

Thanks Deank this works great...

I converted all my MDF psx games to bin/cue using a free utility (took less than a minute per game).

I used a prog called AnytoISO Lite - just in case anyone else having same problem as me.

Only 1 game failed out of the 15 or so i tried (Actua Golf)

Happy days!

MDF is supported in the latest online debug update from yesterday (when you start mM while holding L2+R2 to update) along with the "Create ISO" for PS1 discs.

I tried to rip a legitimate PSX game from mM last night and it said that feature is only available to Cobra users. IS this true, or is there another version I should be using?

[JOshISPoser]

oh man, that's helpful!

i used the same program steveola used and it kept messing up and the bin/cue for the game i wanna play separates into parts but i can get two clean files that are mdf/mds.

keep up the great updates deank, i know you'll bring the compatibility to just about the same as a disc

MDF is supported in the latest online debug update from yesterday (when you start mM while holding L2+R2 to update) along with the "Create ISO" for PS1 discs.

okay, so, the game in mdf/mds shows up under a folder under psx roms but when i play it, it boots to retroarch.

i mean, i've updated to .01 both ways, with and without debug mode. so, idk what i did wrong, i mean both the files had the retro icon which i thought was weird instead of a black disc.


i just made sure i had "create iso" with a psx disc and went all the up to actually creating it, so i think i'm on the right update.

Is there anyway to possibly not show multiple files within folder of the BIN/CUE files? My games are showing up the Retro section but they show up with the entire bin and cue files. However, picking one of the single tracks seem to load the games for me just fine.

[hcode123]

What size do the psx covers have to be? I've got some 240x240 but they dont work.

[JOshISPoser]

i keep reading max size is 1024x768.

check out dean's post on how to put them in the folder. psxgames has it like the name of the game, psxiso, you put it in the folder named cover.jpg.

that could be backwards.

@deank, have you checked out Iris 1.54? They did something pretty clever in the way to now launch the CHEATS application. Hopefully you can also do your magic on it.

With this ability, the CHEATS folder can be Internal HDD and your PSX GAMES on external HDD and they will still work when doing the unplugging/plugging ritual when going to the next game in the sequence.

Plus with the CHEATS folder setup, we no longer need to PASTE LINKS since when we try to run a game in IRIS, it will say if we want to launch the CHEATS folder first. So whatever BIN you put in that CHEATS folder IRIS will prompt you if you want to run it first.

More details about this is in my tutorial (TIP 4): http://psx-scene.com/forums/f10/iris...e-list-110430/

Fixed. Just adding a .jpg cover to the folder auto-categorizes all files into one neat package. God I haven't played Die Hard Trilogy in years.

just to make sure, to switch disks in the same folder, unplug and replug your hard drive?

now, how would you start at disk 2? right as you boot the game, just unplug and replug the drive or wait for it to load or does a game need to prompt you to insert disk 2 for it to happen? what if you need to boot to disk 3?

btw, i think i will rarely, if ever come across this problem. i was determined to get to a disk 2 in a game, but just never did; got distracted and kept moving on to different games.

[Jay-Jay]

@JOshISPoser,

1. When a game asks you to load Disc 2, you simply unplug all USB devices connected to the PS3.
2. The green LED on the power button will turn off,
3. press whatever button it indicates in the game to launch the next disc.
4. Then quickly plug back in USB device and it should then load the next disc in sequence for the game as well as turn back on the green LED on your the power button.

[JOshISPoser]

so, you can't start from like disk 2 in say grandia?


oh, and my mdf/mds problem was solved. i guess you really gotta play the games displayed in the retro column cause it didn't want to boot from the hd viewer; same went for another bin/cue game, it didn't want to boot it except when i booted it in the retro column. so is life.

[Jay-Jay]

I think the issue is that disk1 will load the game save. I don't know if disk2 will do that. You will have to test this. And if you find anything, please report your tests in the PSX Compatibility thread. http://psx-scene.com/forums/f10/iris...e-list-110430/

[JOshISPoser]

lolz, it'll be a long while before i can test that.

i'm pretty bad at games.

i generally stick to one disk games cause, well, i rarely ever beat games

[kojorambo]

I think you need the latest BASE first, 04.18.00

o thanks very much.. will just google it right away...

I would like to know if black side bars can be fixed in ps1 games.I am using full screen option and black side bars still exist on my widescreen plasma.
