Saturn Problems with changing discs on Mednafee emulator

[solnK!]

Help, I just finished Lunacy disc 1 but I can´t load disc 2. I searched for the m3u method but still doesn´t work.
PLEASE HELP

Did you try different games
Sometimes the issue is game-specific

Not yet, and I don´t wanna spend more time on another game just to reach disc 1´s end, altough I heard that Enemy Zero can be a helpful test

Alright good luck

with mednafen it says to load the .m3u instead of the .cue file & then use the F8 key to open/close the virtual tray and the F6 key to cycle between discs.. if that helps

you could probably also convert both bin/cue discs to a single EBOOT.pbp
using a tool like psx2psp but i dont think .pbp's work with mednafen anyway

Like @Boo Man says, the disc change playlist is probably malformed or contains typos.

Somehow I managed to do it by correctly doing the m3u method but now I have to start from disc 1

Do I have to change the name of the disc 1 saves to the m3u?
I tried that way and didn´t work

Probably check the .m3u formatting you have against a good known one and fix issues it might have.
Here's the basic formatting, assuming your working drive is D.

Spoiler

D:\Saturn\Example Game\Example Game Disc 1.cue
D:\Saturn\Example Game\Example Game Disc 2.cue
D:\Saturn\Example Game\Example Game Disc 3.cue

This also assumes the cue files themselves are formatted correctly.

I changed the name of the old save to the name of the m3u one

Now that I think about it, I once had to restart Shining Force 3 after a patch update because I thought there was no way to fix it. Mednafen has a very strange way of organizing saves.

So I wasn't wrong ,thanks

And now I realize I completely misunderstood what you were alluding to a few posts above. Sorry.
