SwitchDisc 1.0.4
This is an automated disc mounting program specifically geared towards changing disc images in multi-disc games. Essentially this program is intended to be a universal replacement for ad hoc scripts used to automate disc switching for multi-disc games. My intent is that this program will be compatible with any emulator in which it's possible to switch discs for multi-disc games via keyboard shortcuts and/or command line directives.
Please visit the official Release Thread for further details, screenshots, and the complete change log, as well as for bug reporting and feature requests.
Features
- Full featured command line interface
- Runs as a resident application in the system tray
- Full compatibility with GameEx (it should be launched/exited as a 'Launch Before/After' command)
- Disc switching through a heads up GUI display or through full automation using no GUI (automatically switches to next disc)
- Robust configuration application
- Configurable for multiple monitors
- Configuration stored as XML
- Full logging utilities
How do I use it?
- Configure emulators and multi-disc sets through the configuration application
- Configure necessary Launch Before and Launch After commands in GameEx
- Trigger SwitchDisc while playing an emulator using configurable trigger key
- Select the next disc in the set using the GUI, or automatically switch to the next disc in the set (no GUI)
- Continue playing

What's new in version 1.0.4 (See full change log)
- Added automated mouse functionality as part of send key operations. Mouse operations can be mapped via the Send Keys Builder.
- Improvements to the automated open file dialog special operation.
- Incorporated updates to ePSXe compatibility. This update adds a special operation specifically designed to send the ESC key to ePSXe. This operation can be mapped via the Send Keys Builder.
- Placeholder strings will now allow for [ROMFILE], [ROMNAME], and [ROMPATH] to be used in place of [DISCFILE], [DISCNAME], and [DISCPATH] respectively.
- Enhanced logging information
- Bug Fix: The combination of a valid emulator specified with an invalid disc file will no longer trigger an exception. SwitchDisc will load the entire configuration under this circumstance
- Bug Fix: Fixed a Configurator issue which was preventing the removal of send key slots under certain circumstances
