Switch from cd 1 to cd 2

How do I switch from cd 1 to cd 2 in attract-mode?

Some psx games have more than one cd.

Some psx games have more than one cd.

If you use RocketLauncher that you mention in your other post it will give you this option in the pause menu.

A better option is combine your multiple disc files into a single .pbp file. This will eliminate the need to switch discs and will also provide directly usable compressed files (without needing to be unzipped) which will save a lot of space and provide a performance gain when loading games.

There are other options but .pbp files are the best option for psx.

What method do you use to make PBP files? I feel like I looked into making PBP files once and didn't find an answer (admittedly, it was only a cursory search)

You can use ISOBuster to convert the multiple .bin files into .iso files. Then you can use PSX2PSPv1.4.2 to combine and convert the multiple .iso files into a single .pbp file.
