Title: Emulators with 2 disc sets?
Post by: TeutonicDarkness on November 22, 2009, 10:00:02 pm

 Hello,


 I apologize if this is covered somewhere...
I'm trying to set up the 3DO Emulator Freedo to work
with Roms that require 2 discs.

Surely there would have to be a established method for this
I know 3DO is not the only console to have games that require 2 or more
discs to run.


Any Suggestions?

Could you put both disks into one iso format, or does it look for a disk change in the game?

 I have never made it far enough in game to say for sure...
But I'm pretty sure after you reach a certain point you must
insert Disc 2 to continue.

Just don't know..

maybe a person more knowledgeable than me will chime in?

if you were using daemon tools to mount the disc image you just need to eject and reload the second image.

 Is there no Friendly way to do this?
I have windows Shelled and am using a Front End to load everything.  ???

Maybe if you could some how trigger a hotkey per game that would run a batch to swap the discs.  Now that I think about it there has to be a better way.

Yeah pretty much the only easy way to swap discs in a multidisc environment on any emulator is to basically save and quit, and reload with the new disc.

Aside from the PSP emulating PS1, and gamecube multi disc boot menus, with a soft reset, there's been no easy in-game menu to do this.
