I don't have a clue when it comes multiple discs #107

Sorry if that was already discuessed somewhere. But since I'm completely new to emulation especially when it comes to the PlayStation Classic, I'm a little clueless when it comes to swapping discs. I love your tutorials because they are easy to understand. But I don't find any infos concerning multiple disc games. The only mention written in the tutorial is that multiple discs are supported. But so far I haven't found even a short tutorial for Autobleem even on YouTube when it comes to multiple discs games.

I've seen a tutorial for Bleemsync and multiple discs, but I actually don't know if it is handled differently with Autobleem.

I'm already using Autobleem without any issues. At the moment I still use version 0.5 but will switch to the update later that evening. Many of the games I put on my USB-Stick are games with more than one disc. So I give you an example how I handled it and maybe someone can give me a reply if I'm doing it right:

(Using Bin/Cue Files for all games)

**Resident Evil 2: Created a separate folder for each disc (because you can play the contents of both discs separately and continue your progress on route B with a detected savegame)

Chrono Cross: Created a single folder for the game and copied both discs into one folder because the system will ask you for the second disc when the story on disc 1 is over.**

I don't wanna waste hours of time if the system will ask me for another disc but nothing will happen. In this tutorial for Bleemsync I saw that the folks are labeling an .Ini file? In this file they write in the correct order of the discs so that the system will know which file is needed. Chrono Cross only uses 2 discs. Games like Final Fantasy VII, or VIII are using even more discs. I'm confused here how this will work. How does Autobleem know that I will now need Disc 2 and not Disc 3 after the systems is promting me to swap the disc after I've finished the first one.

I hope this wasn't aksed a hundred times before and that you actually understand my question here (english is not my native language). A little clarification would be nice here.

I also confused with multi-disc games running on Autobleem. Need more explanation here.
