Disk Swap Problems with Lunar 2

chaos_co · May 29th, 2008

I have been unable to swap disks in Lunar 2 using ePSXe 1.7.0. Ever time I try to swap the ISOs (self ripped from legit copies I own), the game still asks for me to insert disk 2. I bypassed the issue by dropping back down to 1.6.0.

might be a bug in 1.7, im not sure though, i never heard about anything of the sorts during the beta testing nor do i see anything like this mentioned in the documentation. i have this game and if i find the time i will try and get a hold of a save game close towards the end of disc 1 and see what happens myself when the disc swap is triggered.

Don't the Lunar games make a final save when you finish a disc? You should be able to just boot up the second disc normally and load your save.

Mount the game onto a virtual drive then swap the disks using the internal CDR, its the only viable work around atm.

The fastest way to check would be to start a new game on disk 2, it will ask for disk 1. As for the final save, no dice there.

imo, disk swapping via ISO's has never worked 100%, its likely caused by the fact the iso loader doesn't read the S###### file, but instead loads the image as is.

swapping via ISO for PE2 fail for me, look like i gotta reload it via disc 2 ISO.

either play from the game disc or mount the image on a virtual drive.

I just had an idea reading all this but I somebody to tell me if it'll work or not. What if say with Daemon Tools you made threes VCD's and put each ISO into a drive then when it came time to switching from say disc 1 to disc 2 just tell the emulator which drive the disc was in?

Squall-Leonhart · August 12th, 2009

can't be done while emulation is active.

Well that was a good idea while it lasted! *kicks the dirt
