How to Load Multi-disk Games
This is the only way i know of doing it,it's from TheC64 Website.
(You could try and load the game thought the File Loader then when you get to the part where it say insert disk 2 save it then exit and try and boot disk 2 from the file loader and then goto where you saved it but the file loader might think it's a different game and the save might not be there.)
I hope they fix this soon,All they need to do for Multi Disk games is make it so you press one of the buttons A B or C to change the disk so you press the button and it takes you back to the file loader and you select the second disk and it mounts the disk and then you press fire to start to load from disk 2 so you can carry on playing the game.
Provided that the first disk of a multi-disk program works correctly, you can swap disks on THEC64 Mini at the required moment. For a two-disk program, the current procedure is as follows:
When you are asked to change or flip disks in the program, press the MENU button on the Joystick and save your current position in one of the four slots available to BASIC
Exit to the Carousel and then remove the USB memory stick from THEC64 Mini
Insert the USB memory stick into a computer and rename THEC64-drive8.d64 to something else memorable – let’s say MYDISK1.d64
Copy the second disk image file to the USB stick and name it THEC64-drive8.d64
Pop the USB stick back into THEC64 Mini, ensuring you’re still on the Carousel screen
Launch BASIC from the Carousel
Press the MENU button on the Joystick and load the position you saved earlier from one of the slots on THEC64 Mini
Follow any on-screen instructions from your program regarding what to do next.
If at some point the program needs the first disk again, follow the above instructions from step 1, but this time rename THEC64-drive8.d64 on the memory stick to something else (e.g. MYDISK2.d64), then rename the other disk image file to THEC64-drive8.d64).
