i can do the same for legend of dragoon right?
Yeah but as far as I remmember, legend of dragoon is just one game like FFVII, so, you'll need to have all .bin & .cue files in a single folder.
In Game.ini you'll need to write the ID like so... Discs=SLUS-00748,SLUS-00756,SLUS-00757,SLUS-00758 (Just an example, not real ID's)
Anyway, I'm downloading this game, but it will take me some time to try'em, Xmas days has begun :P

Made youtube subtitles for the bilinear on/off comparison video, so its easier to decipher.

Made two comparison images for quick reference:

I’m pretty sure I have seen this question asked on this post.. What’s the best way of joining .bin files. For some reason one or two of my ROMS are loads of separate bin files and one .cue file. Is there a .bat command?

With the Playstation Classic thats actually preferred - not to convert to single bin/cue. The emulator has issues addressing sound files correctly if you go for single bin, at least in some games. (The NTSC version of Toshinden being one such title.)

Others work.

If you want to know anyhow, or to try it out - let me link to this thread for the about tenth time in the last three months... ;)

the mentioned command line tool chdman you'll find by googling.

Yes it is a command line tool, but using it still beats installing two different CD ripping programs with virtual CD drive drivers, then mounting the image virtualy and... Learn how to use chdman - its simpler.. ;) (and the commands you need are in the linked thread (filenames should vary - but with a little bit of abstraction logic... ;) ))

chdman createcd -i "sfawd.cue" -o "sfawd.chd"

= program name (always says the same), command for create cd image, -input: file name in quotes of the cue you've got, -output: nameyouchose in quotes with the extension .chd

chdman extractcd -i "sfawd.chd" -o "sfawd.cue" -ob "sfawd.bin"

= program name, command to extract a cd image, similar stuff from above - two output names (for single bin and cue), witch you choose.

For most easy, copy chdman.exe into the folder with the cue file. Use the Tab key on your keyboard for autocomplete after a few letters.

Find out yourself how to navigate into the folder holding your cue in the windows command line interface (cmd).

No gui, but most easy method.

That you probably shouldnt use in this case. ;)

Thank you @notimp Using commands would be a much easier option for me, I’ll try that. Thank you

With BleemSync they are just on your USB stick - you can look for them (the are in a hidden folder. :))

@notimp
thx for that info - may you can help me, because I´m not able to see the saves on the "bleem" stick.
I tried al lot with cmd attrib command and also with recover tools - but no positive result - I never saw the saves...

Hey how long until the prices come down? According to eBay they are not selling except at a discount so the scalpers must be hurting.

you can get them for 70 bucks if you look now. so not sure how much lower you would like it to go?
Yep, and with BleemSync and a usb hub you can replace the PAL games, enter the menu and have 2 players again. All in all my disappointment vanished, it looks great next to the NES and SNES Classic and now it has the games it should.

Can options be made to the audio interpolation? Like, can they be accessed?

well, if a strong variety of options are needed for a good playing experience, wouldnt you just be better off getting a raspberry pi? you will spend less money and based on all the meticulously technical concerns you have brought throughout the thread would you not be happier with something of the sort? honest to goodness i am sure at this point for the sake of getting something extra out of the classic most folks are pretty content with it.

I'm only talking about PCSX ReARMed defaulting to linear interpolation for audio. It should be set to Gaussian, as is what the real PSX uses (and literally all other emulators), so... A Raspberry Pi needs a case, PSU, heatsink, controller, SD card, but this has all that without needing to configure everything. I only want to change one setting, literally, is that such a crime?

well the emulator on this device still has ways to go as of this writing, just because it is used on everything else, it is well established that support options for the out of the box emulator are limited.
P.S. I am sure if that becomes public it will be posted in the thread as well.

Also all i am saying is that if you need a variety of more options as of right now, a pi may be a better choice, nobody is accusing you of anything.

Just audio, that's literally it. According to the PCSX ReARMed GitHub, it's one of the options so yeah, non-issue.

Changing an audio interpolation mode is no different than forcing PAL to run at NTSC speeds.

I know what you mean, RIGHT NOW the PSX Classic if you got it or want to buy it at $75 is fine as you can put your own games and they play decently. You can wait for the emu to be updated or changed as that will definitely happen or you can take the plunge now and start messing with it.
