Import Amiga games - ready for Retroarch (multidisk)

[Pineappleking]

Hello everyone, I would like to import my Amiga collection for Retroarch. I encountered a few obstacles and hope someone here can help me.

All my Amiga games are packed as a zip archive. So far so good. However, games with multiple disks are combined in one zip. Means I only have one ZIP file in which Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3 are located.

Actually, I would like to leave the files packed like this if possible. However, I have already done the test of importing the ZIP file and clicked "Extract Roms" in the emulator settings. Nevertheless, Retroarch or the core “puae” cannot cope with it. The file simply won't load. Once the files are unpacked, it works.

Now to my next question; On the Libretro page it says that you can load multi-disk games directly so that the disks are integrated into different virtual drives so that you don't have to play while playing need to change more. This probably works with the tag “(MD)”. How do I integrate it?

Not solving your exact problem but watch out for LHA files instead of ADF disk images. Those are HDD installed games. I changed my whole collection and in 90% of the cases such a file is available. You have way faster loading times, no disk changes and less space is needed. Cannot tell you a source here but there are sites out there specialised in so called WHD Amiga roms in LHA format.
