How do I switch discs in Popstarter?

Or when launching the game through OPL daily build?

So I've used discpooper.exe.

For example Alone in the Dark has this in the discs.txt file in the disc one and disc two folder

SLUS_012.01.Alone in the Dark (Disc 1).VCD
SLUS_013.77.Alone in the Dark (Disc 2).VCD

Where as in the VMCDIR.txt both files have something like this.
SLUS_012

What am I supposed to put in the VMCDIR.txt files?

I'm using the newest Popstarter and OPL Daily Build.

So far this forum has been amazingly helpful.

You must name them in correct way, put their names into text file, and using button combo for changing. Read Shaolinassassin guide or my "APA Partitionology".

Do not use OPL DB. Here are the official builds (no support for POPStarter but also no additional bugs ;p):

So how do I name the VMCDIR.txt files correctly?

VMCDIR is for VMC, You need another for discs order ("DISCS.TXT"?). Read the tutorial, I don't remember now, there is all well explained there.

THANK YOU!!! I finally had a chance to try it out today,it being my day off and that worked.

So in order to switch discs you have to have the folders that you make or Diskpooper makes in the __common/POPS folder.

Can an admin mark this as Solved?
