Change CD script

[fedz]

Hi

I always use daemon tool for mounting iso on gameex (famous "launch before and after" method... lol)

who works great with emulators like epsxe and nulldc.

I would like easily change disc to game with several cd

- example :

my psx isos are in same folder

Folder

|game1.iso

|game2.iso

|game3 - cd1.iso

|game3 - cd2.iso

|game3 - cd3.iso

|game4.iso

|game5 - cd1.iso

|game5 - cd2.iso

I finish game3 - cd1 and ingame there is a prompt who ask me to insert CD2. I want with my remote control (set by Girder) pressed a button who execute a script or a batch or a loader... to change cd.

A script can detect the filename of iso mounted? And search and mount himself the next iso of mounted iso who correspond "*cd2.iso" ?

|game3 - |cd1|.iso

|game3 - |cd2|.iso

|game3 - |cd3|.iso

Could i make this script a loop of mounting iso :

cd1 > executing script > cd2 > executing script > cd3 > executing script > cd1 >...

difficult to explain with bad english lol sorry

- Or another completely different method??

thx in advance

Well this might prove to be diffacult.

However most PSX games create a save file before asking you to switch discs. This way you can just load up disc 2 from gameex.

I know this to be true with the final fantasy series.

Good luck

Yes i know this method for final fantasy series but i had test game like Heart of Darkness and save file don't supported before switch cd.

Or another idea : a script who search in virtual cd root folder filename of ID game (SLES_004.62) and copy and rename states save in epsxe folder SLES_004.62.000 > SLES_104.62.000

cd1 =SLES_004.62

cd2 =SLES_104.62

so after launch script i launch CD2 from gameex and load state in epsxe (F3)

Somebody knows another method or solutions? it would be nice for user who use their htpc with no keyboard and mouse.

Well........

Maybe a type of macro can be created. that upon a key sequence it can load CD2,CD3 CD4, depending on the sequence. this would mean in order to work with all Roms they would be have to be named the same.. example joy ,1,2,3 = load cd2. I would also think the ROMS IN FOLDERS feature would have to work so upon the launching of the macro it would choose cd2 or cd3 from the right location.

My wording maybe completly wrong,

TOM please help. you are the MAN.
