      Here is the contents of my .m3u file:
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/B/Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 1).rvz
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/B/Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 2).rvz

      Here is the location of the files on my build:
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/B/Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 1).rvz
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gc/B/Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 2).rvz

      Here is what the log says when I try to load it:

      I have also tried my m3u file with:
      Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 1).rvz
      Baten Kaitos Origins (USA) (Disc 2).rvz

      and:
      BatenKaitos1.rvz
      BatenKaitos2.rvz

      and I get the same results. Any idea why these aren't working? And if I can't use m3u files for multi-disc games on GC are there any other options, other than just having both disks sit in the folder and choose them individually, to load them together as a set?

        I suppose one alternative is to use the standalone dolphin emulator? I imagine the libretro core should let you use m3u though

          @retropieuser555 yeah that's most certainly an option, but from what I've seen on the standalone, it isn't much different from the libretro core where you just go and manually load up the next disc, right? Disc Control > Eject Disk > Load disc.

          That seems to work fine, I was just surprise to see the m3u format didn't want to pre-load the disc images.
