      I'm trying to run some multi-disk games in lr-px68k and it's going pretty well except for one annoying thing.

      For games on more than two disks you have to hot-swap them during play. The Retroarch menu lets you do that easily enough, but it always starts looking in the Pi's root directory, which means a lot of tedious navigating through folders to get to the one with your disks in it.

      According to the libretro docs:

      "The starting directory for loading disks is determined by the setting StartDir in the system/keropi/config file."

      I worked out that this meant /opt/retropie/configs/x68000/config, which has a blank StartDir= line.

      But when I set it to

      StartDir=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000
      

      it does nothing. Retroarch still starts looking in the root folder. I've tried adding and removing spaces and slashes at the start and end, to no avail. What am I missing?

        Ha, outfoxed it. What it actually wants is the line

        rgui_browser_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000/"
        

        added to /opt/retropie/configs/x68000/retroarch.cfg

            @SpudsMcToole I wonder if you get the same results by using

            content_directory="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000/
            

            That might be something worth setting for disc based games.

              @mitu I tried to add the line in retroarch.cfg located in /opt/retropie/configs/x68000 but when I access to system menù pressing F12 and try to swap disk it always starts from root directory.
              Could you give me some suggestions?

              I tried with both parameters: rgui_browser directory and content_directory.
              Thanks for help.

                rgui_browser_directory is set by default in new installs to the ROM folder ($HOME/RetroPie/roms), so that should be covered. But you should start a new topic and describe the issue, including your system details and the RetroArch version.

                  Ok, I’ll do that. Thanks!
