Automount CD/ISO about dosbox-svn HOT 7 OPEN

I'll think of something

from dosbox-svn.

If I create a .conf file, if you read it you ignore the internal configuration of the core

That's not true. I use a conf file (for autoexec) and the core options work fine.

Ok, I see it, just putting [autoexec] would just load that and it doesn't interfere with the other options. Thank you.

I get to load the iso that way, but the iso doesn't appear as loaded in the Retroarch menu and if any game has more than 1 CD, the load has to be manual.

The idea would be to load 1 or several isos automatically, such as when loading a m3u file in Retroarch.

Can be created an option inside the core options menu where people can select one iso to pre-mount.
set as variable to load into the autoexec (if empty/default will be skipped) otherwise it will try to mount the cd image on load.
I must observe that it can be also useful to set a Main/mother mount point directly from the core options, some software require a specific path to be respected and the main executable can't exist in c:/

Relating to this issue, does dosbox-svn allow swapping multiple discs loaded from a .conf file using DOSBox's native ctrl+f4 command? I ask because I'm about to start a game where I'll need to invest a lot of time before the situation comes up and I'd like to avoid the potential problem.

Nope. But I believe dosbox-pure added m3u8 support which populates the RetroArch disc image menu with the images from the m3u8:

Ah, very kool! This particular setup is using Lakka and I don't think Pure is an option there yet. I actually managed to get it to work in SVN by mounting the second disc as drive E. When the game needs the other disc I guess it queries the other available drives. This is probably game specific, but it might help others. Thank you much for the reply.
