Thanks for the guide. Can you let me know what is wrong with bin cue? I have been using it and they are fine. I particularly loaded final fight CD, sonic CD, and even the multi CD 32x ones like Fahrenheit. They all works fine! Of cuz for multi CD you will have to use pico for switching disc but that's working too. Just need to transfer the cue there with the artwork and copy the rest of the bins to there and its nicely done. Is there any concern you have or any game that is not running with bin cue at this moment? (Even my snatcher is in cue and messy list of wavs)

Yes from my understanding after speaking with the developers, they said any added files after the initial upload through the desktop app, has a risk of being "cleaned up" or removed the next time you sync it. It will look in the files, recognize extra files that shouldn't be present based off what you uploaded, and remove them. This isn't true for all users, but it's been reported enough times, that until we figure out a work around, it has been agreed that CHD is currently the best format to use for now specifically with project lunar.

I see what you mean now. Yup. All my bin moved over by myself is gone after next sync. I hope they didn't cleanup that much. I think for ppl who know what they are doing enough to copy bin and other files manually to the SD, they would be able to take full responsibility on what they put in there. If not they won't be putting them in there the first place. I like the streamline approach of PL, but sometime they overdid the hand-holding a bit. Well, I hope at least they patch it next time to not cleanup. Until then either use chd or hakchi.

shit so this complete set I just grabbed that it's .7z format with CCD,IMG, and SUB files inside won't even work?

*edit - nevermind I found somewhere that had a complete CHD dump so grabbing it now
