      Hi, I'm trying to configure the ps1 emulator to show only the cue files in ES so I won't end up with duplicate files when I have a game with multiple bin files...

      As far as i know it's necessary to edit:

      <fullname>Sony Playstation 1</fullname>
      <name>psx</name>
      <path>/recalbox/share/roms/psx</path>
      <extension>.img .IMG .pbp .PBP .bin .BIN .cue .CUE .iso .ISO .ccd .CCD</extension>

      in

      /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

      I obtained permissions entering Pi with PuTTy software using command:

      mount -o remount,rw /

      After this I edited es_system.cfg entering the file with WinSCP and changing the string to:

      <extension>.cue .CUE .cbn .CBN .img .IMG .mdf .MDF .pbp .PBP .toc .TOC .z .Z .znx .ZNX</extension>

      and saved... Now, with this little change EmulationStation wasn't booting anymore (error message), and I had to change again the string to default to make it run again...

      Where is the mistake? Please let me know!

      Thanks.
      A.

        @opossum said in Edit es_system.cfg for PS1 games?:

        .toc .TOC .z .Z .znx .ZNX

        never heard of those format for psx games and I doubt they're supported...

        you must have made a mistake not closing correctly the tag extension or something, redo it

        also if you're on windows, only use notepad++ or your end of lines characters will be broken... you could also have copied a windows end of line character at the end of </extension> without realizing it

          Solved... Always use notepad++ 🙂
