so multidisc swapping is a no go so far for me
yes i made an m3u file it goes like this
D (Disc 1).cue
D (Disc 2).cue
D (Disc 3).cue
and i scan the m3u and nothing happens i try swapping disc using the hotkeys and it says disc tray eject disc 1/1 selected
You have to add the m3u file manually to your playlist. Just replace the .cue in the playlist with the .m3u like so:
E:\Games\Sony - Playstation\Armored Core - Master of Arena (USA).m3u
After that you can swap by changing the disk tray status and cycling the disk index.
ok so i did that and now it’s not even show up in the ps1 category
Did you add it correctly? You need more than just that line, for example:
E:\Games\Sony - Playstation\Brigandine - Grand Edition (Japan) (Disc 1).m3u
Brigandine - Grand Edition (Japan) (Disc 1)

Make a manual edit to the playlist (.lpl file).

ok i put this in the playlist and i have an m3u file made for it which i also scanned and now it won’t load and when i do get it loaded still can’t detect any other discs
update: ok so no one could help me properly so here is what i did to get multidisc games working. download launchbox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HoXz8UyCSk&t=300s follow the instruction this guy gives you but make a m3u file for each multidisc game
is there a way to swwap disks without using playlists?
You can convert PS1 games to PSP eboot files to avoid playlists but you are better off using playlists. They are very simple once you know how.
If you use regular bin and cue, the folder structure should look like this.
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 1).bin
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 1).cue
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 2).bin
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 2).cue
Metal Gear Solid.m3u
And inside the m3u file the text should be this:
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 1).cue
Metal Gear Solid (E) (Disc 2).cue
Then you open the m3u file with retroarch and you are good to go. The folder structure is even easier if you convert the bin and cue to a CHD file and you also get really good compression.
I didn’t even know you could use CHD, can you use CHD for all CD based images? How about isos with audio tracks?
CHD works on nearly all disc based retroarch cores now. I’m not sure what formats can convert to CHD besides bin/cue. It’s best to match redumps bin/cue format so you know you have good rips.
Hi Im using retroach for android. I dont know how to change disc. Please help
