Hi, i'm trying to run a game called Super Stardust for the Amiga 500 using the PUEA emulator and it asks to insert disk 6 before the game starts. How do I do this while the emulator is running? I can get the onscreen keyboard up but there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to change disks. Please help.

There are 6 disks for this game but i'm only using it as an example. I just need to know how to swap disks in this emulator using Retrobat.

Like is explained on the notice, (available directly in Retrobat) or in the FAQ (n°Cool
you need to use hotkey to load the next disc.

Other solution, but work only with 4 discks max. and .adf files.

Put all the discks inside a zip file, and ad (MD) a the end of the filename.

example:
Torvak the Warrior (1991)(Core Design)[cr HZ].zip become Torvak the Warrior (1991)(Core Design)[cr HZ](MD).zip

this methode don't work with all games...

Hello,

there is also the m3u solution, as explained in libretro documentation:
https://docs.libretro.com/library/puae/#m3u-and-disk-control

No limit in number of discs
