Amiga Emulator games with more than 1 disk

vincedj

Hello,
I have installed the last version of Retropie and I was able to play with some games.
The problem when I try to play a game with more than 1 disk !

I'm compelled to use the keyboard and invoke the UAE interfaces to add the second disk and it's frustrating because it uses the keyboard connected to the raspberry

Is there any solution?

What keyboard would you rather it use? I believe it's possible adapt this information to use premade .uae files for games that have more than one disk. An alternative that I personally use is to map the UI to a controller using an external mapping solution, but all things considered, it's easier to just connected a keyboard in this case.

@vincedj Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I'm going to assume you mean RetroPie 4.2 running on a Raspberry Pi using Amiberry or uae4arm - but it helps to provide information so I don't have to guess.

Make sure your games are named like

Game_Disk1.adf
Game_Disk2.adf

and the second disk should be inserted. You can also zip them together into a single file. Note that not all games support multiple drives though, so sometimes you have to disk swap. Another option is to use a hard disk image and WHDInstalls of games (which then load quickly off the virtual hd)

Oh wow. Has this been the case all along? Looks like I need to rename some of my games.

@mediamogul It's a new feature (added between 4.1 and 4.2).
