LogicalEgo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I am not getting the option on the game details menu for 2nd or 3rd disk. When I launch FF7 it just picks the first disk and doesnt show the option for 2 or 3. Should I re-import the multi disk games for each systems? I havent updated my systems since the support was added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 If you never added the other disks as additional apps and you imported them before they switched to the new system then you won't have them. Also there are naming and folder conventions that they have to follow in order to be picked up and add as the 2nd disc during the import.

LogicalEgo Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 So I need to remove them, place them in the same folder and then reimport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 When you launch the game LaunchBox never asks you what disc you want to load. If you imported your game and it automatically merged the discs, right click the entry and select your disc from there. Double clicking it will automatically launch the first disc. If you imported them and they didn't automatically merge and there are multiple entries then you would have to either re-import them to get them merged or add them to the additional apps section your self. To swap discs you save state, close down, load the next disc, and load state; at least for swapping discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about in Bigbox, it shows as a single entry but does not show disk 2 or 3 in the game details? Do I need to place them all in the same folder with the same name as the rom, or just reimport them?

SentaiBrad Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If you press the play button a game, it will just play it, but you open the game like it was another menu, it gives you lots of other context menu items and that should include multiple discs. Did you check in LaunchBox then Big Box? Right click a game in LaunchBox that you know was automatically merged, and check it again in Big Box. As long as it was merged there should be nothing you need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalEgo Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Looks like reimported worked, this is going to suck to have to go through and redo all my disk systems but the feature is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 You shouldn't need to re-do much except for re-importing your games. Remove all the entries from a platform and re-import them like you would do. As an example, I need to re-import my Saturn games (I imported them before this feature existed), so i removed all the games, chose to import from files, used Windows search to filter out *.cue files, selected them all with Ctrl + A, hit import. When it came to the LaunchBox Games Database and EmuMovies screens I unchecked all of the boxes so that no media gets downloaded and it imports very fast. Chose to use the folder name for the game name as well. Since all of the media exists already, then there's no need to download more. You might want to use the Media clean-up option as multi disc games may have downloaded multiple copies of the same images, but re-importing is easy.
