Advanced: Converting Multi-Disc Games to XEX

Many "new" users struggle with games like Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect 2, or Red Dead Redemption (multiple discs). To convert a multi-disc ISO set to XEX: No disc emulation needed – XEX runs natively,

1. Extract Disc 1 to a folder called Game Name Disc 1.
2. Extract Disc 2 to a folder called Game Name Disc 2.
3. Do not merge folders unless the game specifically supports it (rare).
4. Use a plugin like DashLaunch (DL) with multi.ini configuration to swap discs automatically, or use Aurora's "Disc Swap" feature.

Never copy default.xex from Disc 2 over Disc 1's root folder. This will break the game.
