[RESOLVED] My PlayStation 3 Emulator wont read my Game m3u format.

Hi everyone its me Kattie Zelford and I'm having a mayor issue with my PlayStation 3 emulator. I had done everything to try to figure how to get this work but some odd reason its wont work at all. I also followed Just Jamie's PS3 video guide and its still wont do anything, I had tried so many ways to get it to work by moving and different location and just wont read or launch the M3U for the ps3 emulator after I updated and everything  I uploaded a video for everyone to see I had done everything and still giving me this issue. RetroBat wont do anything while is running in background.

here the video link located here


also no matter where the m3u is located is still wont read the m3u
the message keep saying this

"E SYS: Failed to open executable: D:/RetroBat/emulators/rpcs3/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
E SYS: Booting 'D:/RetroBat/emulators/rpcs3/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN' with cli argument failed: reason: Invalid file or folder"

hello
the game folder must be named like this
Ex.
Angry Bird Trilogy [BLES01732]
copy it to rpcs3/dev_hdd0/disc

or you can do it manually
\dev_hdd0\disc\Angry Bird Trilogy [BLES01732]\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN

Hi,

In my experience the game folder can be named whatever you like, obviously for convenience name it after the game, but you don’t need the BLES or BLUS Id in the title.

Hello
First, you should see if the games run fine, by trying to boot it directly from RPCS3, without Retrobat
If it don't run from emulator, Retrobat can't do nothing more.

Maybe your dump isn't correct ?

Your m3u file points to the wrong location.

You put your game under rpcs3/games/Ridge Racer 7 (USA)(En,Ja)/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN thus RetroBat won’t find it under rpcs3/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN

Like matto21 mentioned, copy all your disc games to rpcs3/dev_hdd0/disc and try to run them first in RPCS3 to see if they run fine.

In your m3u you can use the full path to point to your eboot.bin like c:\rpcs3\dev_hdd0\disc\game name\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN

Hello,

Why not put your game folder simply in retrobat\roms\ps3 ?

You do not follow the FAQ well, it is clearly specified that the games must be in the rpcs3/dev_hdd0/ folder of the RPCS3 emulator.

I moved it there but not reading or showing its own location. Remember i have follow the wiki and still giving me same error as before. also i tested the game and run fine. but the m3u wont read its location no matter what I do. if you have parsec I can show u that Im not making this stuff up. I also made video on my you channel to show I did put it its own GAME folder location. I even updated the emulator and everything the game running on the emulator but wont do anything when I used BatGUI to read the location but its wont do it. do you understand that I had follow that video guide from JustJamie and i had read the FAQ. Nothing is working. if you don't mind I can join your discord and also do parsec to show you Im not making this stuff up

Can you put your game in the right location ? Else it won't work

There you go, inside the RPCS3 emulator folder.

I always had an issue with formatting or convert it to the m3u as well and I never understood why the m3u never work for me. the only solution I can say that all my ps3 games work when I download the game and put an ".ps3" at the end of the name folder. that did the trick. the auto generator from Retro bat's Bat GUI never work for me when come to auto generate the m3u.An member from discord help me with my problem and he show me on the retro bat wiki to help me find my answers to get my own ps3 game to work on the Retro Bat had to do other way. because I never had an issue with it when come to full screen for the ps3 emulator with the game.  

here a video I made for you to show you that how I did my for the retro bat and how I got my to work.
