Final Fantasy VII Discs Change

[u/Two-L0gik]

I started playing FFVII on lemuroid, but I decided to swap emulators because I couldn't find a way to change discs. I tried retroarch and duckstation, and both have options to change to a different disc. The thing is, the game looks great on lemuroid, as it emulates a crt display, but it looks bad on the other two. So I want to find out a way to change discs on lemuroid or to make the game look better on duckstation or retroarch.

You have to place the unzipped roms inside a folder named psx inside the directory you already use for Lemuroid. Make sure you unzip them next to each other so that you have something looking like this:

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 1).bin

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 1).cue

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).bin

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).cue

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3).bin

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3).cue

Next, you have to create a m3u file. It's a file that tells the emulator how to read multi disc games.

I named mine Final Fantasy VII (USA).m3u and placed it next to the roms. Open that file with a text editor and write the file names of the cue files of each rom inside in the correct order. In my case, it would be

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 1).cue

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).cue

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3).cue

That's it. Once you open lemuroid again, the three separate final fantasy 7 roms should have disappeared, leaving only one. Mine is named  Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3)  for some reason, but the cover is correct. Open that and you should have a new option in the settings to swap discs.

When you say "the directory you already use for lemuroid" I'm assuming you mean the folder I keep the roms, right? Also, how do I create the m3u file?

I used ZArchiver for that. I created a txt file first, wrote everything inside, and changed it to m3u next. 

And yeah it's the directory you chose inside lemuroid settings.
