DeadVoivod Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 How is it possible to only get 1 single entry for a 2 or multi disc game? I have several games f.ex. for GameCube that have 2 discs, and LaunchBox shows me the entries always twice. Quote

DeadVoivod Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Ok I see, but these are .rar files for GC and named: Baten Kaitos Origins (Disc 1).rar Baten Kaitos Origins (Disc 2).rar Quote
DOS76 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 strange I would think that the .rar extension wouldn't keep them from combining. When you run the import wizard do you have the consolidate games check box checked? Quote
DeadVoivod Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 I added them via "Scan for Added ROMs", there you don't have the option. Can I try adding the whole collection again, without having anything double? Does LB see what games are already existing? Quote

DeadVoivod Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Ok, that worked. Thanks for help. When launching the game now, does LB know to boot on Disc 1? Does it also swap automatically when Disc 2 is needed? Quote

DeadVoivod Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Ok, great. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Quote
DOS76 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 when you consolidated the roms it gave you the option of which rom to pick if you picked disc 1 then disc 1 is the facing disc if you picked disc 2 then it won't load disc one on launch it will try to launch whatever disc you told it to. Quote

Expand If you use the consolidate from the tools menu it doesnt ask you, it just consolidates, i assume disc one as the default. Quote
DOS76 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 ah I don't think I've ever done it like I've only done so on import and by selecting games manually and consolidating them so didn't realize it didn't prompt you but makes sense that it would work more like the import than manually Quote

Wally Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) On Retroarch no m3u = No disk swap capability. It is pretty essential You can Vote this Edited October 6, 2019 by Wally Quote

Wally Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 RetroArch's Disk Index scans for m3u first. It is also suggested as best practise at Libretro. I could not make your example work for lr_caprice (I did not check other cores thought) Quote
