To automatically load the next disc of a game, you can use a .m3u playlist file.

In the m3u file, list all game discs from your game:

Within that text file, write the names of the .cue sheets or .chd files for your game discs:

Finally save the file as a .m3u file.

Custom textures

libretro-mednafen_psx_hw

The mednafen_psx_hw core allows to load custom texture packs.

To do so you need to place the custom texture pack in the \roms\psx folder in a dedicated directory that has the same name than the game file with the addition of "-texture-replacements", for example:

• If your game name is Final Fantasy VII (USA).iso, the texture pack folder must be named Final Fantasy VII (USA)-texture-replacements

• If your game name is Chrono Cross.fr.m3u, the texture pack folder must be named Chrono Cross.fr-texture-replacements

Once the texture pack in place, just enable the option within Retrobat:

Advanced options > Visual Rendering

Custom Textures = YES

Finally, ensure that you use VULKAN video driver and that you set the resolution above 1X:

Advanced options > Drivers

Advance Options, set internal resolution abov 1X

Duckstation

Duckstation emulator allows to load custom textures.

RetroBat does not force a folder for the placement of custom texture packs for Duckstation, the default placement is \emulators\duckstation\textures, but the folder can be changed in the emulator's settings:

Once the texture pack in place, just enable the option within Retrobat ADVANCED SETTINGS > VISUAL RENDERING:
