Is it possible to change disc?

Neo187 · February 12th, 2008

I tried searcing this but could not find anything. I'm using the Image reader plugin, when I get to the point of changing the disc I click on "swap disc" and select the right image and the emulator freezes.

Am I doing it wrong or is it the emulator that still doesn't support disc swap? Pleae tell me it's the former!!!

Thanks for any replies

It worked when I tried it...

And yes, I'm using 1.6.

i tried with more than one game but the emulator always freezes...does anybody at all have the same problem??

What game?

NamesSolidSnake · February 13th, 2008

I used it on Shenmue (even though you don't need to)

He just said he's using the Image Reader Plugin.

The issue is with D2 NTSC.... but I've also tried with Shenmue (though you dont really need it in Shenmue) and its just the same, the emulator keeps showing the "change disc" screen though I change it with the option of the Image Reader plugin....

Could it be an issue with Vista?

Does anybody know an alternative way to change disc when you get no prompt to save at the end of the disc (shemnue style) ?

Thanks for any replies

I'll try swapping discs again in the emulator and see what happens (my siblings are using the PC right now)

Thanks NamesSolidSnake...

I'va actually tried it yesterday on adifferent PC running on XP, exactly same thing, with D2 and Shenmue.... I get to the "change disc" screen, swap the disc with the GDRom option and nothing happens....

that's so wierd...could I be the only one having this?

NamesSolidSnake · February 15th, 2008

I haven't gotten around to doing it again (hehe, sorry, I still haven't gotten on the computer today).

But I think I had troubles with it at first.

I just tried the disc swap in Shenmue and it's working perfect for me.

Changing discs is generaly buggy, it wont work allways (it wont work at all for some games).

Also note that most rips don't support swapping. In sort, if you don't use GDIs swapping won't work (excluding specific cases).
