| − | A cue sheet, or cue file, is a metadata file which describes how the tracks of a CD or DVD are laid out. Cue sheets are stored as plain text files and commonly have a ".cue" filename extension. They are used in emulators that play CD games. Emulators like [[Mednafen]] require you to load PS1 games exclusively through CUE sheets. | + | A cue sheet, or cue file, is a metadata file which describes how the tracks of a CD or DVD are laid out.

| − | For PS1 there is a [http://nielsbuus.dk/pg/psx_cue_maker/ site] that automatically generates the contents of the cue file for both Single and Multi-track games, however, most rips will already come with a pre-made cue sheet.
| + | ==Examples== |
| | + | |
| | + | Systems like the PSX require you to load them through CUE sheets. Most rips come with these, but in case yours didn't, a template is shown: |

| − | IsoBuster supports session and disc type statements that are not included in standard CUE.

| − | ==Examples==
| |
| − | ===Single-track game===
| |
| − | Most PS1 games are single-track, so this will usually work. Create a new .cue file, open it up with Notepad, and paste the following in it:
| |
| | FILE "GAME NAME [1] US.bin" BINARY | | FILE "GAME NAME [1] US.bin" BINARY |
| | TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 | | TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 |
| | INDEX 01 00:00:00 | | INDEX 01 00:00:00 |
| − | Replace GAME NAME [1] US.bin with whatever your game's file name is, but keep the quotation marks. Save the file and then you can play it in Mednafen. | + | Replace GAME NAME [1] US.bin with whatever your game's file name is, but keep the quotation marks. Load the .cue file in RetroArch under Normal ROM to start the game. |

| − | Certain PS1 games like Rayman, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Vib Ribbon are multi-track, so their .cue files might be more complicated. Examples:
