Multidisc Game Swapping

Pi Model 3B+
Power Supply: No idea
Retropi version: 4.5.14

So I have spent probably 6 hours trying to get Brigandine Grand Edition to disc swap with no success. I have read the documentation, I have read some forum posts but nothing seems to help. Brigandine GE is a two disc game that came with a .bin and a .cue for each disc.

I currently have these files in the folder:

Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 1).bin
Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 1).cd1
Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 2).bin
Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 2).cd2
Brigandine Grand Edition.srm
Brigandine Grand Edition.m3u

The m3u file reads like this:

Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 1).cd1
Brigandine Grand Edition (Disc 2).cd2

Whenever I power it up I go to Playstation and select the game to start. However after a short time it kicks me back to the menu to reselect the game. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I also have retroarch.cfg in the //IP Address/roms/psx folder which reads

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/psx/"
content_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Try to rename the extentions .cd1 and .cd2 to .cue . Change also the extensions in the .m3u file .

If you have a spare sd card try also the latest version of RetroPie.

@windg I'll give it a shot and report back. The newer version of retropie have this issue? Or is disk swapping happen more freely?

If this is a bug, maybe the new version of RetroPie will not have this. You can try and to rename the save file (back-up first) with the name of disk2 and boot the game directly from there

The most multi disk games that i have try they don't have issue, only in few games disk swap is tricky.

If the issue continue you can report it directly to the developer of emulator here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues

You can try also the alternative psx emulator, from RetroPie- Extra repo, lr-duckstation or lr-swanstation from here : https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
