      as per this post https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16124/multidisk-msx-games-and-m3u-files/6?_=1742312978738

      I was checking above posts and been testing the m3u on msx

      Game loads ok with lr-bluemsx but cant load automatically next disk.
      It requires the disk swap from RA to load the needed disk

      If correct i read that later is the required step even with use of m3u?
      If not please advise, If the norm then ok

      Please to hear any feedback

      Your friend,

        @2Play there is a hotkey for swapping disks on retroarch. But yes you're right in that it's not like dolphin where it switches automatically, I think that switch is hard coded into specific games, as dolphin only has 4-5 games with 2 discs. MSX has hundreds of games that require swaps at non uniform times during gameplay

        One other problem though is retroarch/bluemsx doesn't label the disk correctly. I raised a ticket in GitHub for this so hopefully someone will take this up and fix it

          @retropieuser555 are you referring to the RA disc control where eject and load options exist?
