      Hi,

      I have 8,000 CPC roms (.dsk files) but a lot of the games have more than one file. Like:

      Some Game Disk 1
      Some Game Disk 2
      Some Game Disk 3

      Is there a way to combine these in to a single file or a way to get retropie to show the first disk file name only when browsing the games collection?

      So in the list instead of showing:

      Car Game Disk 1
      Car Game Disk 2
      Fighting Game
      Platform Game Disk 1
      Platform Game Disk 2
      Platform Game Disk 3

      It lists them like:

      Car Game Disk 1
      Fighting Game
      Platform Game Disk 1

      Thank you in advance

        I see that the lr-caprice32 has support for m3u playlists - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32 - so you can create a .m3u file containing each game's disks.
        Emulationstation doesn't know - yet - how to handle those files and it will not show them, though. If you use the lr-caprice32, you can create your custom es_systems.cfg - see here) - and add .m3u as known extension.
