 ==== Multi-disc games ====
-EmulationStation will not guess which disc images should be treated as a single game and must be explicitly told which entries to combine using an ''.m3u'' playlist file.
+A ''.m3u'' playlist file can be used for multi-disc games. Create the ''.m3u'' text file, and enter the filenames of the ROMs for the game on a new line each. For example:
-  - Optionally, move all the files for the game into a subfolder so the contents of the ''/userdata/roms/gamecube'' folder look like the list EmulationStation displays (with only one entry per game).
+<file m3u Tales of Symphonia.m3u>
-  - Create a file named ''<Name of Game>.m3u'' next to the disc images where ''<Name of Game>'' is the name which should appear in the game list.<code>
+Tales of Symphonia - Disc 1.rvz
+Tales of Symphonia - Disc 2.rvz
+</file>
+Make sure this ''.m3u'' file is saved with **Unix end of lines** (if you use Windows, use an editor that can save Unix file formats, **not** Notepad).
+This playlist file would be saved next to its respective ROMs. EmulationStation will hide the additional discs (Batocera **v31** and higher).
+The resulting file structure would look like this:
+<code>
 roms/
 └─ gamecube/
-   └─ Tales of Symphonia/
+   ├─ Tales of Symphonia.m3u
-      ├─ Tales of Symphonia.m3u
+   ├─ Tales of Symphonia - Disc 1.rvz
-      ├─ Tales of Symphonia - Disc 1.rvz
+   └─ Tales of Symphonia - Disc 2.rvz
-      └─ Tales of Symphonia - Disc 2.rvz
 </code>
-  - Inside the ''.m3u'' file, list the filenames of the disc images, one per line. <file m3u Tales of Symphonia.m3u>Tales of Symphonia - Disc 1.rvz
-Tales of Symphonia - Disc 2.rvz</file>
-  - Run **MAIN MENU → GAME SETTINGS → UPDATE GAMELISTS**
-At this point, EmulationStation should hide all files listed in the ''.m3u'' file (showing only an entry for the ''.m3u'' file itself). If it does not, check for typos.
