I feel like I have hit a brick wall. I just hit the disc switch point and NOTHING will cause the game to recognize disc changes.
Using a playlist, manually switching the image files.
I hit eject, return to the game, let it set, change the disc to disc 2, change back to the game, let it sit, then go back and close the disc tray. And nothing. I thought it might be my images, both discs load fine individually. But neither will allow a disc swap. I made a new image of disc 2 from my disc, made sure the SHA-1 hash matched redump. That didn’t work. Tried an image from the redump set online. That didn’t work.
Tried both software and hardware. I tried Mednafen standalone with a playlist file. Allows to boot disc 1 or 2, swapping doesn’t work. Tried PCSX-R, that didn’t work either.
Do emulators have a bug with this game or something? At this point i’m just going to bust out my DexDrive and use Memcard Rex to do the disc swap on real hardware. (Which means I gotta dig out all the old hardware and junk. My CRT doesn’t have a permanent home so it sits in a corner atm)
Has anyone encountered this?
