Attempting to Play M3U File Causes RetorArch to Crash

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Trying to open an M3U file for a multi-disc PSX game causes RetroArch to crash with the following error message:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

OK

Does anyone else have a similar problem?

#2

Do the individual disc images load? If so, it’s probably a malformed m3u. Make sure you don’t have any typos, all of the files exist, etc.

#3

All of the files are there and the file is properly formatted.

#4

How about the first part of that question? That is, do all of the individual disc images load on their own?

#5

Yes, all of the disc images load on their own.

#6

Ok, we’ll need a log of it failing to load to know anything else.

#7

This can happen if you forget to add the extension in the *.m3u file:

game_disk_1
game_disk_2

instead of

game_disk_1.cue
game_disk_2.cue
#8

The extensions are there.
