## Specific system information

### Multi-disc games

Use a .cmd file.\
\
Create a text file with the extension ".cmd", write the name of the core that will execute the game, then write the name of a boot disk (.hdm), the harddisk image (.hdi), and CloneCD image (.ccd/.img/.sub) like in the example below.

`Policenauts.cmd`

```
np2kai "Policenauts (User boot disk) [for Neko Project II].hdm" "Policenauts [for Neko Project II].hdi" "Policenauts.ccd"
```

This work also while using different .hdm files

`Lam-Mal.cmd`

```
np2kai "Lam-Mal (Disk 1 - I).hdm" "Lam-Mal (Disk 2 - Ro).hdm" "Lam-Mal (Disk 3 - Ha).hdm" "Lam-Mal (Disk 4 - Ni).hdm"
```

\
This method seems to works with "Neko Project II Kai" core, not with "Neko Project II" core.
