Hi guys,
I´m using the RA's Caprice32 Core for the Amstrad CPC games library. Everything worked great and I fell in love with this system, until I tried out the first multidisc-game. Since than I worked for hours to make the disc-swap run and I searched everywhere on the internet but couldn´t find anything about the problem.
Learning about how to set up m3u-files and how to scan them via RA but didn´t help, as RA only starts Amstrad dsk-roms automatically if they are zipped. If they are unzipped, the autostart doesn´t work, being even impossible to start the games manually by using the cat/bin-commands on Amstrad's user surface. You see where this is heading, as RA's disc-changing system needs unzipped files to work properly with its disc-index conventions and the m3u directories.
I´m operating a seperate roms-folder, outside of RA. I tried out so many different things, eg. making only the first disc a zip-file and the second an unzipped dsk-file, I also worked in the RA standalone-mode (without LB), but whatever I did, I couldn´t find a solution yet. Being a relative noob, having LB/RA only since last Christmas, maybe I´m still missing some fundamental points. If you could help me to set up a working multi-disc library for the Amstrad, I would be overly glad. Such gems are amongst the multi-discs games. Thank you very much in advance.
