RG35XX Series - PS1 Multi Disc (m3u files)

[@thelastalliance1418]

I can really appreciate that your doing this as just before this video I went through so much research trying to figure out how to do this and having a video like this makes it way easier to understand. Thank you so much for this! I'm subscribing and looking forward to more tutorials!

[@mmedel89]

Cue and bin guy myself... had the issue of all file names showing so the m3u method works wonders for that as well. Thanks!! Solid video!

[@seanwilliams5848]

Mine doesn’t work, is there anything specific you need to do with the cue file itself?

[@slykhajiit2]

@@seanwilliams5848 He didn't show it in the video, but he did say to do the same procedure done with the m3u file. Copy all the .bin files and the .cue file into one folder named identically as the name of the game, then make the .m3u file outside that folder and type the directory of the .cue file into the .m3u file (only) like in the video.

[@ILuvMoogles]

Your advice to use copy and past turned out to be exceedingly useful as the entire issue with my .m3u file, as it turns out, was a typo. Without realizing it, I had alternated between the spelling "Disk" and "Disc", several times no less. Anyway, thank you for the video :D

[@y2kcurran]

Hey thank you so much for introducing me to m3u files and their use! I followed your process but for my RG353v using stock os. Using FF IX as an example, instead od having 4 duplicates i now have 5, assuming its now reading the m3u file as an additional entry now. I'd really appreciate any advice, maybe im wrong thinking this will work for other devices? Thank you!

[@loblegonst]

Thanks for the video on this! All the text tutorials led me nowhere.

[@SmiteFist]

This video is so valuable and helpful. I just had this issue a few months back and it was tricky to sort out. This video is SUPER helpful. Glad others don't have to deal wit hthe same as I did with this great guide.

[@Tristana13012]

*sigh* I'm trying to add Skies of Arcadia (2 disks) on the Dreamcast emulator of Anbernic RG35XX but my console doesn't see the m3u file in the list :( So obviously i cannot even launch the game...I don't know what i'm doing wrong

[@emmanuelcaparas9808]

Hi Henry, First of all finaly someone made a video for this, really appreciate what you have shared with us thanks. Second just want to ask if in garlic os you can show the image of the game? If it is possible can you make a video for that as well. Thank you so much and more power.

[@henrynox4244]

Game art is on my list of videos to make.

[@Nellis00]

for some reason my game fails to load disc 2 here is what i copy pasta'd on my .m3u Grandia/GrandiaCD1.chd Grandia/GrandiaCD2.chd it doesnt work AHHHH my rom FOlder name is Grandia and it doesnt load. HALP

[@BobbyBazinga]

/Grandia/GrandiaCD1.chd /Grandia/GrandiaCD2.chd Try this my man

[@SlimDeryck]

Hey, I'm having difficulties playing RE2. Whenever I launch the game, it only launches the Disc 1 scenario. Is there a way to launch the game with disc 2? Thanks.

[@TheKerevas]

In my case on the Anbernic RG35XX H with stock firmware it was enough to create the folder with all the files you showed and put everything in there, including .m3u and the game cover images (so when scrolling between games I see the images). By copying the .m3u file into the emulator ROMs folder, both the folder with games and the .m3u file appear which obviously cannot be started .

[@hachavez]

Thank you very much for a comment, I got stuck because I didn't realize that you have to change the \ to / if you use Windows, regards

[@masondeaver5300]

dude you're literally a life saver i've been trying for weeks to get dragon warrior 7 to run on my garlic os and couldn't find any guides that worked for me no matter what i tried! but this was so easy to follow and included so many steps the others didn't, thank you!!!

[@aaronjames7266]

The transition from 7:09, from your PC hard drive, to the Anbernic is confusing. You didn't put anything onto the Anbernic console, it was just still on your computer hard drive, then you opened it on your Anbernic? Did you drop the m3u file onto your Anbernic? There seems to be missing steps here?

[@mikedextro]

Does (Rev 1) etc, need to be copied over? Most of these are working for me now, although I can't seem to get a multi disk with "(Rev 1)" in the title

[@shamstrider7353]

I try push the menu and x but cannot go to the change disc menu.. I don't know why... I already custom to garlic os already

[@brixalpha]

Thank you so much, lunar and lunar 2 is one of my favorites growing up. Glad I am able to experience these games again.

[@weshuffman6757]

If anyone is curious you can do the same on Mac if you use TextEdit and format it to a plain text file

[@Sulaxo]

You’re awesome, dude. Thank you. Best multi-disc tutorial yet.

[@leea4839]

Very helpful & easy to understand. Thanks a lot!

[@nightmonkey07]

Great tutorial! This would be the same process on the stock os on retroarch right?

[@LucasGenolet]

Hi, thanks for the video! Related to the RG35XX, Im triyng to organize and filter in some way my roms. I tried to make a folder named for example "sports games" and put shortcuts to the roms that are located on the main folder, but didnt work. Somebody have an idea of how can we organize the roms? Thanks

[@henrynox4244]

Garlic OS unfortunately doesn't really let us organize roms. I think MiniUi has collections that might work for that, but I haven't tried MiniUI yet.

[@AlekseyBushin]

Thank you for your videos. You takling about nobody talk. May be you can make a video describing what emulators work properly on rg35xx with garlicos, couse I see so many console's folders for roms, but some of these works awful. For instance, I have tried Jaguar and it works very slow and 3do and msx doesn't work at all, also for segacd you should download bios files that actually lacks in garlic

[@henrynox4244]

Good call. It takes me some time to make these, but I have plans for a video about some of the more obscure emulators. MSX specifically since I had to take some time to get the MSX Metal Gear games working.

[@xauthegamer]

Great tutorial! So after creating the m3u files and chd folder, did you transfer the fold and m3u file on the SD card? Or the m3u only? Just to clarify. Thank you!

[@2012JvN]

How should it work with m3u only?

[@storm8216]

I watched one video about RG35XX AND NOW KZbin DOESNT LET ME BREATH xD

[@mha4598]

Hello, how can add ps1 games that have two files Cue and bin file

[@razercalschlachenhauser5462]

Thanks for the Video. Keep up the good work

[@davelandrytube]

And you get a sub! Thanks for the content

[@tantrumus7186]

I'd like to thank you for this. One other side effect here is that scraping becomes a bit of a pain as all the folders showed up and artwork scraping ended up downloading for each disk and the art was showing in the wrong folders as a result. I am on a handheld and ended up moving the actual CHD to a parallel folder in my case it was /roms/psx so I made a /roms/psx-multi and moved all my "multi-disk" CHD to that psx-multi folder and then updated the paths on the m3u files and now all the folders dont show up in emulationstation and it looks like one clean game list.

[@y2kcurran]

I did the same and it tidied up nicely. One thing I didn't realise is I needed an extra "\" in the m3u filepath so the system knew to look one file location previous, if that makes sense.

[@fomkadotexe986]

Dude you are amazing, thanks for your effort!

[@GabrielSsilva15]

Very good hints, thanks a lot. But please let me ask one thing: What happened if instead of combining the files before start my gameplay i just start play directly disk 1 and at the end of the disk 1 it asks for disk 2? I mean, can i perform the actions of your video later and my save file will still work or if this steps are not performed i cannot continue the gameplay?

[@henrynox4244]

It's possible. I think that there is an option to browse for the next disc file. Not sure what that means for saves though.

[@miguelcoronado816]

do you need the m3u file to play multidisc games? or its just for organization? because I don't mind if I have multiple entries of the same game

[@henrynox4244]

They will work without the m3u file. However, the m3u file isn't just for organization, it also makes swapping discs simpler. I think swapping discs without the m3u means you need to browse the filesystem to find the disc file.

[@benedictsamuel7254]

Thanks mate, this helped me out :)

[@PS3ClassicGamesHD]

Thx a lot. Does this work on Dreamcast too?

[@ScottX68000]

Would this work for single CD games with multiple bin files?

[@jejedjorkaeff2379]

Thanks very much dude ! Explanation very clear ! You're the boss ! Cheers !

[@KegRaider]

Thanks mate, fixed my 35xxSP with my own rips of FF 7 and 8. I now have just the .m3u files and separate folders instead of every disc listed in the game list. LEGEND!

[@MaxMilly_85]

awesome thanks

[@Espenhein15]

@henrynox4244 My game wont start with the m3u and sub-folder. It works fine without subfolder. Do you have an idea what I can try to do?

[@kappachino335]

Thank you very much!

[@danielwilcox419]

This was the definitive tutorial on this process. Clear steps and simple language for an absolute emulation noob such as myself. Tested this out with Resident Evil 2 and now I'm playing scenario B as Capcom intended 😁

[@SlimDeryck]

Hey glad yours worked. May I know if you started with B scenario? I can't seem to swap the disc, it just freezes

[@danielwilcox419]

@SlimDeryck No, I completed an A scenario first. When emulated correctly, the game functions as it does on the original console in that completing scenario A is a prerequisite. I would double check that you input the disc 2 code correctly in your m3u file ✌️

[@lewismac55]

Hey bro! Great guide and really easy to understand but I try to open the game on my 35xx and it just black screens and kicks me out :( any idea how to fix that?

[@tanker2sh287]

Will this work with Stock OS?

[@citronski]

Sweet, thanks mate.😄

[@hossstreebeck9184]

Will this same process work for Sega CD? Great videos, Thank you

[@visscubasteve1316]

I fallowed this guide and had no problems! Thank you. My question is when swapping disc does it carry over save data or how does that work. The part in the video showing how to swap disc got me a little confused as to if you continue with your progress or what happens?

[@henrynox4244]

Yes, saves will move to the other disc. That's one of the benefits of the m3u file is it ties the saves to that file and not the individual disc. You should have no issues.

[@visscubasteve1316]

Hey dude, this was really helpful but I was playing on disc 2 and was able to save but when I died none of my save files for disc 2 were there and my last save file was the one from disc 1. Any ideas?

[@warana2]

Does it also work for non garlic os units

[@henrynox4244]

Not sure about stock, but I think it works for Mini UI. Although, I haven't used Mini UI yet.

[@warana2]

By the way do you need to change the file name to CHD

[@malikganteng3439]

where u download those roms and bios. care to share link. and how about to add arcade game like mame with multiple file. same as .m3u file

[@henrynox4244]

I haven't worked with any multi file arcade games so I'm not sure about that. For bios and roms I would start by searching for "miyoo mini tiny best set" That set has a great collection of bios and rom files to start playing.

[@Djinsoul]

Not sure why my battery icon has 2 + symbols on garlic OS. Any idea to fix it? I have changed skins but still the same.

[@henrynox4244]

The plus symbols are for the overclock. Pressing Select in the main menu cycles through the over/under clock options.

[@manuelrodriguez9972]

Do you know why PS games run laggy with GarlicOS? I added the BIOS but still laggy.

[@henrynox4244]

I haven't had any issues with the PS1 running slow. You could try the overclock settings. In the Garlic OS menu, press the Select button to cycle the settings. Look at the battery icon and see the + or - icons show up. + is a slight overclock and ++ is max overclock. Make sure you don't have - or -- on the battery because those are underclock and will slow games down.
