Switching disks with PSX emulators

[ssgk]

From what I gather there is more than one emulator for the S7300 of varying pros/cons per each. That being said a random thought came to mind regarding multiple disk games (FF-series, Metal Gear Solid, etc.). Is it a weird Chinese math equation to "switch," disks when prompted in game or a simple process of: saving the game (just in case) then "swapping," disks (roms actually, but you get the point) then you are off and running? I ran across this myself while epsxe with my PC in which playing the first disk of MGS I was prompted to change disks but for some reason would lock up whenever I tried which made for an annoying game season. I am curious if anyone could shed some light on their experiences on this subject.

Hi!

The PSX hardware reset itself when you opened the lid of the CD drive, so all multi-disc games will (or at least should!) save your game right at the end of the disc and then when you swap discs, reboot from the new disc and load the progress from there.

So you can basically back out of the emulator, choose the next rom, and it will boot off of that image and then load from the memory card.
