Launch BIN/CUE games directly when using Redream standalone emulator

[Kat Rollo]

Context

Redream is becoming the de facto standalone emulator for Dreamcast and a very common problem in configuring it with LaunchBox is launching into the Redream main menu rather than directly into the game particularly when in BIN/CUE format.

‌

Workaround

Import CUE files directly and do not check M3U playlist for multi-disc games (source).

(Note: This problem does not exist with DuckStation that also supports BIN/CUE so it is natural for users to Add Folder instead of Add Files when importing ROMs in most cases.)

‌

Enhancement

Approach 1: A dialogue box during manual configuration of Redream in LaunchBox informing how to correctly import BIN/CUE files should save many users troubleshooting time.

Approach 2: Make it automatic via a default script perhaps to just load CUE files whenever it is detected.

‌

This just overall improves the LaunchBox user experience further. Thanks.

Based on your requests: * LaunchBox will already parse just the .cue files when importing a folder filled with .bin/.cue files * LaunchBox already has the m3u option unchecked by default if you are setting up redream as an emulator

This is what I'm trying to say. It does NOT happen for Redream to be specific. The issue persists on v12.11. Hope it gets investigated and confirm the issue can be consistently replicated.
