But I guess it may not work as you expect it. RCB should just provide you a list of possible discs and you can select which one you want to launch. This one will be extracted to the tmp dir. Launching more than one disc is possible if the emulator supports it. (Win)UAE is the only one that I know of, no idea if 4DO can do the same. In this case you will need some more "logic" in your emu params like explained here.
I never tested the multi disc scenario in combination with several discs inside a zip file. So, I could imagine there will be some issues with it. Swapping discs while you are playing a game will also be not possible as the next disc is still zipped and the emu can't access it. I am afraid all the multi disc and zip extraction code needs some serious rework.
I guess you confirmed my suspicions. I figured that the other disks would be orphaned once RCB launches into the emulator.
On another note, I found a curious post over at the Adv. Launcher forum here. Someone posted about an app called Rom-Jacket that suggests that it can auto-configure over 70 systems, including joysticks, art, bioses, etc. It cited being compatible with (and has settings for) RCB. Has anyone ever heard of this or used it? The dude who posted, had only posted twice, so I am a bit curious.
Here's the description from the Rom-Jacket homepage:
A RoM-Library Management & Auto-Configuration Tool
RoM-Jacket effectively bridges the gap between your roms, emulators, their bioses, frontends and your joysticks.
What it does:
• Generates and configures joystick profiles and a rom-launcher for every rom.
• Save-files, quick-saves, snapshots, metadata, artwork, videosnaps and emulator-settings are stored with each rom.
• Installs and Auto-Configures:
Emulators and any required dependecies/libraries.
Joystick drivers and profiles
