Mednafen PCE Fast Core will not load a CD Image

RetroArch Nintendo consoles
#1

This is tested using Retroarch 1.5.0, using a SanDisk Cruzer Glide USB stick.

The strange thing is I had this working the other day, and now, for whatever reason, it simply won’t load any PCE-CD games.

Valis 2, Rondo of Blood and Fighting Street I’ve all tried and none of them load, even though they have before. I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Things I have tried:

Changing the directory where it looks for the system card. Pasting the system card file into every directory it might look for it on the USB Drive Reinstalling Retroarch Reinstalling all bios files Changing to a different bios file (system card 3.0) that I had Using a different dump of Rondo (about to test it now)

No matter what I do, loading a PCE CD image just kicks me back to the Homebrew Channel’s loader.

Any thoughts?

The type name for audio tracks in the cue file has changed a while back. Like ogg needs to be tagged with OGG like that:

Actually, loading a Turbo Cd game in Iso-Wav-Cue format seems to work fine, perhaps because the person who made the image followed your instructions, I am not sure, they are too technical for me to understand, though I do remember reading about cue sheets sometime in the past.
