How to play Dreamcast multidisc games?
-
Hi everyone! I'm currently testing some Dreamcast games to run in my RPi3. So far, I've tested Soulcaliber, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Dead or Alive 2 (graphical glitches but playable), and Sonic Adventure (tried to run this with the 60Hz option but failed). One of the games I'm about to test, Shenmue, comes with 4 discs (or CDI files) and I was wondering what to do if ever I finish Disc 1 of the game. Has anyone ever encountered this? Thanks!

Reicast emulator for Dreamcast (no overclock) -
I believe all that's required is exit the emulator and then launch the second disc. Once loaded, the game will read the memory data and start you where you need to be. This isn't a function of the emulator, but rather how the games were originally designed.

@mediamogul So I don't need to convert the files into a single file, just like with PSX? (Like converting all .bin and .cue files of a PSX multi disc game into .pbp)

No, that's only an option for PSX games.

@mediamogul I see. Anyway, I'll try this out. Thanks!
