batocera v35 & Amiga multi disk management & game key ?

blackskulls95

hello all. I’m new to batocera

I’m running into the following problem:

1-How to launch games in muti floppy? I do not find. (example of game in 2 disk “operation wolf”).

2-how to access the information to play the games (which keys)? because some I can’t find how to play it because I don’t have the visibility of the game keys (example north & south).

Thanks

hi all😀

up, any idea ?😟

Unfortunately, no one has developed this yet. You are “on your own” in regards to working out how it’s done. If you do, let me know and I’ll add it to our documentation.

One hint: many emulators allow the loading of multiple discs by use of a m3u playlist.

hi Atari.

I guess I’m not the only one who had a real amiga 500 at the time and I’d like to play it again with batocera.

so the fact of having on batocera the possibility of amiga emulation, there are either programmers or users who have the solution?
As I start on batocera I hope that on this forum I would get the solution.

I need your help .

Hello,

So I found a way around using .m3u files to handle file changes for multi-disc Amiga games. and therefore multi-disc loading.

This requires adding the game’s .adf files to a .zip archive and including “(MD)” in the name of this archive. The archive can then be used by Retrobat/RetroArch without having to change floppy disks.

In summary put the 2 adf or more in a single folder, then compressed this file grouping all the disks.

when compressed renamed it to include (MD).

example: operation wolf disk1 + operation wolf disk2 ,

1-create a wolf operation folder

2- drop the two files there.

3- then compressed this file, on the snapshot, therefore zipped wolf operation. [ example: operation wolf.zip

4-The renamed operation wolf(MD).zip is then necessary

--To access the emulator you must press the central round button if xobx controller and button A,

delve into the menus and activate the multidisk if it was not.

blackskulls95 I tried this. But didn’t work for me. Loaded up fine and played the first disk. Got the message insert disk two. But there was no way of doing this even from the retroarch menu. I have since found a .lha version of the same game (cannon fodder 3 disk) and this works perfectly. I’m wondering if batocera doesn’t like the zip archive method any more but is still happy with your method as long as its compresses into a .lha archive.

WinUAE Amiga emulator floppy drive management solved multi-disk games. Why the Amiga emulator on Batocera does not have the same simple solution?
