switching between cd in a multicd pbp file in pcsxr

#Switching between cd in a multicd pbp file in pcsxr code#

I'd prefer the first option for obvious reasons. Or you could be lazy and have a specialized popup in addition (after selecting the pbp on the 'Switch ISO') or replacing the filechooser (if you don't care about multiple format segmentation with pbp). Choose the M3U from the Retroarch loader and now you should see a disc management option in the quick menu that lets you swap between the CHD files when needed. To verify if your pkg is able to switch discs at all, you can boot disc 2 and try free ride in one of the disc 1 should ask you to insert disc 1, see if you're able to.

Otherwise that option will remain locked, at least in my experience. This would allow either changing the file itself (if someone is using multiple formats per multidisc game or segmented multiple disc pbps for some reason) or just choosing another image in the same pbp file. For multidisc games, you need to make an M3U playlist file, which is just a text file that has all the CHD files for a game listed on separate lines. You should be able to switch discs ONLY when that message (insert disc ) is prompted on screen. pbp where you could choose any of the multiple imgs inside the pbp as 'selected'. Therefore if it's both, there is a user facing operation missing, where the user can ask to select another internal iso instead of always the default (first i think).Īs for GUI, i'd prefer if instead of overloading the 'Switch ISO' for pbp files adding a multiselect entry (like the save state entry below) that is only enabled for. I looked at the libpcsxcore/cdriso.c:handlepbp function and i frankly don't understand it, but it looks like since it takes no parameter besides the filename, either it's building a index array of all the underlying img files inside the pbp or selecting a 'default one' or both. This is probably because it's always selecting the first.

I'm just going to leave here the same thing i left on the pcsxr project page, because as far as i can see the code for this is the same:Īpparently, although the project supports pbp, you can't actually choose the internal iso to use when selecting a pbp file in the 'Switch ISO' option.
