How do you get the system to recognize the ROMS on a CD in the new version?

**BraveDog** · 01-07-2005,10:01 AM

Make sure you DO NOT put the roms in the root dir. They must be in a sub dir.
ex. :
cdrom:/pvcs.elf
cdrom:/ROMS
cdrom:/ROMS/Adventure.bin
cdrom:/ROMS/CosmicArk.bin

pvcs can only scan for subdirectories.
I will change this to be more flexible in the future.

Are there 8.3 limits still?

P.S. Thank you very much. I'm reliving my childhood.

I put the ROMS in a subdirectory (ROMS) on the CD and it still couldn't see them.

**zabolyx** · 01-08-2005,08:17 AM

It has a browser now... you need to select the directory you put them in to see them...

also they must have .bin as the extention.... just rename all the .a26 games to .bin

jchurill · 01-08-2005,05:50 PM

They are extended with .BIN and I did browse to the subdirectory. Still no luck. I got the Gameboy Color emulator to work by creating a SYS-CONF folder on my meory card. There is no weird quirks like that with this emulator is there?

I'm having the same problem. It scans the cd but doesn't find anything. It sees everything on my MC ok.
I have less than 30 roms. (Is this still a requirement?)
They are all in subdirectory ROMS, and FILES.TXT is set up correctly according to the example. (Is FILES.TXT still needed? Does it go in the cd root?)
I set VER = 1.30 in SYSTEM.CNF
I made a bin/cue with CDGENPS2 and set the LBA of the CNF file to 12231
(Is this still necessary?)

Anybody see what I am missing?
