Roms for cxbx reloaded archive#
If I launch this newly created archive from within Launchbox, it will extract it into the temp folder and then load the default.cue file into CXBX and work!! The huge downside to this, is I would have to go through and extract all of my game backups, copy and create default.cue files for each one, and then pack them all back up into new archives. Funny enough, I can make a copy of the "default.xbe" file and change its file extension to "default.cue", the zip it back up into an archive. I read elsewhere in the forums that Launchbox, by default when loading from an extracted ROM archive, will look for and load a *.cue file. There is ONE functional work around that I've found however. That didn't work, so then thinking maybe it was a problem using the temp folder path, just to test, I tried the same command line but pointed it to an existing extracted folder of the game. So my first work around was to try using this method as an addon command line in my emulator settings, and point the path to the game folder within Thirdparty\7-Zip\Temp, where launchbox stores its temporary extracted roms. Now from a command line prompt I can execute: cxbxr-ldr.exe /load "path to rom\default.xbe" and load the backup successfully. It requires loading the game from an extracted folder, and loading the "default.xbe". Most emulators work great using the "Extract ROM from archive" feature within launchbox, but I'm having trouble getting CXBX Reloaded to work this way. I have a large archive of xbox games that I keep compressed with 7-Zip (when uncompressed they use up an EXTREMELY larger amount of hard drive space of course).
