Otherwise, insert the exact absolute path to the main folder with all your subdirectories, and of course remove the brackets. If you tell me the path I can insert it for you. I don't fully understand this, but I think I got you off寞or /R " \" %%I in (*.chd) do for %%J in ("%%~dpI.") do echo %%~nxI>"%%~dpI%%~nxJ.m3u"
#Make an m3u file full#
Otherwise %~dp0 referencing the drive and path of the batch file ending always with \ must be replaced by full path of Main Directory ending also with a backslash.
The batch file should be stored in Main Directory. Thanks! Sadly it just creates a Sony Playstation.m3us file with a list of all my PS1 games in chd weird ha ha.

bat files, you can just open the ones you can download here with notepad or wordpad, make the edit, and save it (good practice, save it with a different name). To be safe, create a directory and then plop a single subdirectory with one or more chds in it to test聽and run the modified bat聽in the main directory.
I haven't tested this, can't as I don't have any of my roms in CHD format. I would try just changing the (*.cue) to off寞or /R "%~dp0" %%I in (*.chd) do for %%J in ("%%~dpI.") do echo off寞or /F "eol=| delims=" %%I in ('dir "%~dp0*. I gotta tell ya, I'm FAR from coding and/or programming savvy but I would venture a guess that it off寞or /R "%~dp0" %%I in (*.cue) do for %%J in ("%%~dpI.") do echo %%~nxI>"%%~dpI%%~nxJ.m3u" If anyone wants to check the code, the user also left a thorough explanation that is absolutely unreadable to me. I personally have not tested the FAT version as my drive is NTFS.
#Make an m3u file code#
Apparently the code is different聽for each. Lastly, the Stock Overflow user wrote a batch script for both NTFS and FAT hard drives. So continuing the above example, I ran the file in my "Sony Playstation" directory, and within the "Chrono Cross" directory an m3u file was generated and listed relative paths to all the cue files in that directory聽and was automatically named "Chrono Cross.m3u" (after the folder name, not the cue file(s) names or anything else in the folder). The m3us list relative paths to the cue files, not absolute paths.
The bat file should work with any system provided it has the above directory聽set up and utilizes cue files The bat file will create m3us in every subdirectory which holds at least 1 cue file (it doesn't single out multidisk games as it is now, so be aware of that) The bat file will name the m3u after the directory the cue files are in and place it in that same directory The bat file should be run from the main directory Your games directory should look like this:漠.g Sony Playstation/Chrono Cross/disk 1.cue, disk 2.cue I also tested whether or not single cue m3us would work in Retroarch, and it turns out they do. So I asked on Stack Overflow and, not long after, some genuis had posted a working batch script. I also wanted to have m3us with relative paths to the cue files, for simplicity sake.
#Make an m3u file generator#
The new m3u auto generator for Launchbox聽is a great tool, but it also got me wondering if I couldn't create m3u files for every one of my Sony Playstation titles (including single disk games) and would that work in Retroarch?聽Something just appeals to me about the uniform file extension on import in Launchbox, and of course, if I wanted to launch games outside of the Launchbox environment I'd need some static m3us.
