Getting PC Engine/Turbografx 16 CD games to run

[SaulFabre]

already figured out that, the thread is now about how to get them to work on retroarch

post a new screenshot of your roms and in what format you own actually.

the ROMs looks good because these are on BIN/CUE but again, you cannot attempt to load ROMs when zipped, You MUST unzip them for be able to play them.

try like this
you have to unzip the zip archives create a folder insert the .cue and .bin files
rename the folder with the name of the game and put .cue after the name
es:
Addams Family.cue

wow wow wow, hold on a second, first I remember distinctly that when I used my old version of retroarch I clicked load archive and it did no problem, even now it does, it just gets stuck on the waiting screen but still it loads them in zip format and didnt you tell me that wiimednafen couldn't load zip archives but retroarch could?

Maybe you have misread this.

RA Wii was used to load CD images from .zip files correctly, but now looks like it's broken.

WiiMednafen & RetroArch Wii nowadays needs their ROMs you want to play to be unzipped.

Have you tried loading a single BIN/CUE rom (unzipped of course) on RA Wii?

dude, why didn't you mention this before? We've been going at it for 3 or even more days and it kinda defeats the purpose. I mean why would I need RetroArch if WiiMednafen plays unzipped games just fine. I was going for RetroArch to be able to save some space but whatever. I think i once tried to load the unzipped BIN/CUE rom but it didn't work, I'll try one more time and let you know

unzipped games work fine on RetroArch but I wanted to be able to play archives to save space

Place the CHDMAN folder somewhere, stick your (UNZIPPED) TG-CD games in that folder and run "CUE or GDI to CHD.bat", then wait. You'll have smaller .CHD files that will work in RetroArch.

No it will not. CHD is too new for it.
