    So multiple disk games will only insert if they are all zipped in one file, or all extracted (which takes a lot more space). I was just thinking it will be a space saver to also detect separately zipped disks like

    Gamename_Disk1.zip
    Gamename_Disk2.zip

    as collections are already zipped single disks like GameBase Amiga for example. So we have to unzip them all (which is a huge amount of space) or zip each multidisk game into a single zip file.

    I just thought i'd ask on the off-chance. I don't want to go the WHDLoad route yet as a lot of the games play too fast (need cycle exact which isn't available) where as the floppy versions work fine.

      @windale I don't want to change the way this works currently. Supporting multiple ZIP archives would require a major rework of the launch script. You could always use a compressed filesystem and keep them extracted, or use ADZ format (individually gzipped). Or get a bigger SDCARD/USB stick or be more selective with your collection.

          I cant get multidisk games to automount at all. Any idea what i do wrong? Tried all different namings, and both amiberry and uae4arm. Same with all disks in a zip file. It still asks for disk2. Tried multiple games.
