I tried renaming from IP.BIN file with GDMENUCardManager and it doesnt seem to change from disc.cdi filename?
Does GDMENUCardManager force a CDI filename change everytime you merge games into it?
IP.BIN is correct

When you save, all imported cdi's are renamed to disc.cdi, following proper gdemu protocol. name.txt holds the display name and contents of folder. list.ini is a text file containing all the info and is stored inside gdmenu. This is how fast-menu loading is achieved - gdmenu just has to read this file instead of opening the ip.bin from each folder.

OK, Ill keep the CDI's with proper filenames stored seperately then, and keep mainting the gdemu collection

Thank you so much for the massive collection!!! I've had a bit of fun playing around with these. I would absolutely love an optimised version of 'The Chaos Engine', it's one of my all time favourites.

Yes, it is on the list. I just hope one day it could be optimised so it runs more smoothly. If only I had the skills I'd do it myself

The amiga emulator for dreamcast technically is poor. So I doubt that will happen...

On a side note, can someone explain how I can dump bin cue to gdemu?
If not what's the process of converting bin cue to either cdi so it can work with gdemu
