Amiga multi-disk - Can't change disk

G22

Hi, I've been testing the new Amiga emulator. I find best to run every in games in the A1200 as it's the most popular latest/powerful machine they had. Most games run in it. The problem is with multi disk games when I go in the emulator menu > Removable Media > Eject ... then go back to the same menu the disk 2, 3, 4, etc aren't showing.

So it seems impossible as of now to play multi disk games.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

if you use the following naming :
- gamename1.zip (or any extension or starting at 0)
- gamename2.zip (or any extension)
- gamename3.zip (or any extension)
...

all disks are preload, and you don't need to eject, just to switch on the menu on the left.

nadenislamarre Thanks it's working perfectly! Though it's making big game list with duplicates. Maybe you could check out the code myron wrote which is pretty much the best thing for organizing a clean Amiga library!

@myron could you make a youtube video tutorial on how to add your code to Batocera?

Thanks a lot!

Multidisk support inside ZIP.

When it works for others too, maybe you could integrate this....?

oh, but why not to send me this code as a pr ?!?

nadenislamarre

hum, the tmp directory is not clean at the end, of course.
a hook must be added before ending to remove it.

I don't understand but let us know if you get to integrate this!
