The multiple-M3U solution wouldn't work(think about save states and memory cards).Ĭurrently, you'll have to use F8 and F6 every time. MedLaunch (A windows frontend for mednafen): I'm struggling to think of an example of a PSX game though that requires a disc swap at some point AND enables you to boot off different discs. If it was me (and I for some reason regularly needed to load different discs in the same m3u file) I would just create multiple M3U files with the disc I want to load being on the first line. Is it possible to load the m3u file with a variable to indicate which disk to load? Or am I regulated to pressing F8 or F6 once mednafen is started every single time? I was wondering what about outside of mednafen. I have read about pressing F8 and F6 to change the disks within mednafen. Use OS filesystem-level compression(should be fairly easy with NTFS on Windows, and you could do loopback mounts with SquashFS on Linux). Loading CD images from compressed archives is not currently supported. PSX games can be quite large when uncompressed and I would like to try and save space whenever I can. How does one setup an m3u file so that it can locate the cue file within a zip folder. Does mednafen allow for disk selection when using an m3u file? While the m3u file works great, I cannot select which disk to load whenever I run the m3u. Some psx games are multidisk (resident evil 2, Final fantasy 8, etc) which either requires I load each disk individually or I load them using an m3u file. My main question focuses on the m3u file and psx games. My end goal is to link them all to a front end (either attractmode or retroFE). Trying to figure out the ins and outs of many emulators.

The PLS playlist defines its song titles as key-value pairs in the Windows INI format (see INI file). Some formats are simple text files with a song on each line for example, M3U files (MP3 playlists) contain a list of URLs or local file names, while RAM files contain a list of URLs to RealAudio files. For example, iTunes defines playlists in its XML-based library file, which also holds song information. There are several file formats used for playlists. For example, iTunes has a Smart Playlist feature that will automatically create a playlist with a selected maximum number of titles based on any number of criteria such as genre, artist and year. The software may be able to create a playlist automatically. Using media player software such as iTunes and Winamp, playlists are created by the user by dragging and dropping titles from a master index.
