Here is an example: In the roms/pc98 folder I have the file game.m3u with the following content. (I did another step and put all multidisk games into a subfolder and excluded subfolders from scraping.) The only thing missing on the Retropie side is, that you have to manually edit the es_emulators.cfg and add the m3u/M3U extension to the list of accepted extensions for pc98. So you put in the boot disk in the first m3u slot and the user disk in the second and you are good to go! Nice!Īlso, whenever the disks need to be changed, only the one in fd2 is changed. This is especially helpful with games that use disks for saving (user disks). One thing np2kai handles differenty with m3u is that the first two disks are inserted into fd1 and fd2 automatically! But I'll come back to this later.įirst of all - as in many lr cores - you can set up m3u files with a list of all disks of one game and an easy change of these disks through disk control.
Probably the most difficult to get running was Policenauts, as it uses the HDD for installed files, a bootdisk and a CD for the audio.
I've experimented a bit with the lr-np2kai core and got a lot of games to work.
I just want to help some fellow Retropie PC98 fans as these tips can't be found in the official Retropie Docs. I hope this is the right place to post this.
