Disk Swap in PCSX4ALL locks up Pocket Go 2 #26

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have an interesting issue with PCSX4ALL on my PG2 running Rogue 1.0.4

I've Been playing Lunar: Silver Star Complete (2 discs, bin/cue format, multi-track .bin files) There are several times when playing, especially during certain cut-scenes where it asks to switch discs. So I do so using the 'Menu' button, selecting the 'Swap Disc' menu item and selecting the corresponding .cue for the disk it asks for. Had no problems up until I got to the point in the story where it is actually done with Disc 1 [SPOILER: When you and your party fly to the frontier in preparation for the last act] and asks for Disc 2. Every time I try to switch discs this time it freezes, dead-locks the whole console, I cannot gracefully exit out of the emulator and I have to use the hot-keys to exit (POWER + SELECT) or hold POWER down until the console turns off.

Every other time it ask to switch discs, it works just fine, except, for some reason this particular disc swap point it freezes the console.

I was able to get around this by copying my memory card to my PC, load my save on PCSX on my PC, save the game once I am allowed to post-disc swap and then copy it back to the .pcsz4all/memorycard folder and fire it up again. I load the second disc, restore my saveganme off of the memory card, and I can resume the game once more.

I'm inclined to believe that if the disc swap was just plain broken, all of the other times in-game it asked me to swap discs just to play cut-scenes would behave the same way. It's crazy that this one point in the story causes either the emulator to freeze up.

I'm going to try to see if it is just this game, or others, but it's going to take me a bit to get to a disc swap part in say FF7 or something ... I have a job and kids :-D
