Mizar Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi guys, recently when i add games with multiple discs, they go all added in at once, while before they were all separate. Is there a way to disable the multi-discs option? As i prefer the older system. Thanks in advance for any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: Final Fantasy VII (USA) (CD 1) Final Fantasy VII (USA) (2 CD) Final Fantasy VII (USA) (CD 3) In Launchbox only leaves Final Fantasy VII , the rest is missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Right click on the game are the other listed in the context menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizar Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 I found a work around. Rename the 2nd disc and onwards something different from the first. Then you get all the discs added singularly like it used to do it before :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVissie Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi I would like to know, how multi-disc games should be named so that when importing it, it shows the disc numbers in the disc column before importing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try rename the three isos like this: Final Fantasy VII Disc 1 Disc 2 Disc 3 I did the same for Legend of Dragoon, with the difference that had 4 discs and worked fine Let me know!

Rename them as i said on the post before and should be working Good luck! as you can see in the image I have both the FF 7 and 8 files done just a little differently for FF 7 I thought the issue might be that I originally had them in all separate folders so I combined them into one folder as you can see each disk is named for the game with the game disk number (disk1, disk2, disk3) for the FF 8 games I left them in the separate folders my preferred organization method again with each disk named for the disk number (disc1, disc2, disc3, disc4) as you can also see in the shot of my launchbox FF 7 and 8 are only showing one disc while FF 9 which was imported before the upgrade has all four discs in separate files. perhaps I'm being dense or just missing something but as far as I can tell I've done what you said and its not working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Having them named disk 1 disk 2 is the method that is being used to ensure you only see one game which is what many users have been requesting for a long time now that has been implemented there is a new group of users cropping up who want to have all of their discs listed. Have you tried naming them disc1of2 disc2of4 or some such to see if that breaks the functionality. Edited September 1, 2016 by DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Also are you aware that the disc are actually (or should be) getting added under the 1st disc if you right click it you should see the additonal discs listed as additional apps and you can access and launch them like any game that was displayed or are you more looking to have them all on display and not worried about just being able to launch them.

DOS76 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 During the import also try clicking the force duplicate checkbox to see if that does anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hey guys I made a feature request to make this automatic when you import. Go to the link and vote for it so it can get implemented. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/1526/multiple-disc-import Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU! I was looking in the rom path to see if they were all listed but they weren't and I wasn't sure I would be able to launch each disk as needed if they weren't displayed separately I had not considered re-naming them 1of2/3/4 etc but a good idea if I run into problems later. I had tried the force duplicate but that didn't work either. thank you so much for explaining how to find the rest of my discs when everything else failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Switching disk is handled by the emulator and not LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you do a screenshot of how you renamed the isos inside the Final Fantasy VII folder please? The full name. In the screenshot above i can only see partial of the name.
