Question: Is there a way to setup a multi-disc setup to default to "Pick App" when in big box?

Is there a way to setup a multi-disc setup to default to "Pick App" when in big box?

For games like Command & Conquer or Resident Evil where each disc is something different. Combine them into a single listing but when you select it, it defaults to choosing the disc instead of the normal option to just play,

You can pick what app you want to launch already via the Game Details View. There is no way to have any "Play" command bring up the Additional App select window currently though.

Ok, thank you.

Might be a good feature to include in future updates so when it comes to games like Resident Evil, Command & Conquer or games where each disc is a self contained thing, you can just include it in the title and have the option to choose your launcher be defaulted to when you select those. Maybe as a check box you can select from Launchbox in the other apps tab of the game.

 

Good to know though, thanks.

In those cases it may make more sense to simply split the two discs into their own entities. For C&C you could have one record called "Command & Conquer: GDI" and one called "Command & Conquer: Nod" then you would just play the game you wanted.

Was going with that originally, but just seemed off seeing the same titles multiple times.

Or cases where a system doesn't support a playlist and it is a multi-disc game, like Dreamcast. The games were rare but still seemed weird seeing the same title upwards of 4 times depending on the game/system. It's fine either way, was just hoping for a way to default to the option to choose the disc. Just put " (Multi-Disc) " in the title to indicate it was a multi-disc game with with C&C (Allies & Soviet Discs) and (Includes bonus disc) and so on and then going into the settings and naming the discs appropriately instead of just showing the file names.

Was just thinking it would be cool to have a setting in big box when you selected the title, it would default to choosing the disc instead of having to go down further to select it.
