Pause menu "swap disc" function not doing anything. (Also, cannot get PSX saves working)

Hello!

So, I have been trying to set up Launchbox to work with multi-disc PlayStation 1 games (or any console that has multi-disc games, really) and I've been focusing on PSX first. I have all of my multi-disc games in their own folders (for instance, a folder called Xenogears (USA) with Xenogears (USA) (Disc 1).cue and .bin, also a (Disc 2).cue and bin, and along with that is a .m3u file that has nothing but this inside of it;

 

Xenogears (USA) (Disc 1).cue

Xenogears (USA) (Disc 2).cue

 

I went into Tools>Manage Emulators>Retroarch>Edit>Swap Discs Script and placed into it the following script:

 

Send {j down}
Sleep 50
Send {j up}

Sleep 50
Send {d down}
Sleep 50
Send {d down}

Sleep 50
Send {j down}
Sleep 50
Send {j up}

 

I found it from another thread in these very forums. I then went into RetroArch itself (in the hotkey binds menu) and made it so that the open disc tray/eject game shortcut is "j" and the "next disc" hotkey is "d".

As a result of all of this, back in LaunchBox, I now see the "Swap Discs" option in the Pause Menu...but it does absolutely nothing when I select it. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I only made j and d act as HOTKEYS for swapping the discs, when my controller (an XBox One controller) is set to have hotkeys activate only when I'm holding down the "select" button (Or whatever that button is on an XBO controller), but I'm not sure how else to do this. Is there a way to make it so that j and d act as actual key binds for these actions, rather than hotkeys?

 

ALSO, I am trying (in keeping with the Xenogears example) to get PSX save files working as well, and I have a Xenogears save file named Xenogears (USA) (Disc 1).srm, which was previously made by RetroArch some time ago. I changed it to Xenogears (USA).sav and plopped it into the same folder as the other Xenogears discs, but it still will not recognize the save file. I'm not sure what to do here either.

 

Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks guys :)

PS: I had this posted elsewhere on the forums...twice...and it occurred to me that I might've put it in the wrong place. I really hope this is the place for this kind of thing, heh!
