+All files are needed to enable correct emulation.
 ===== ROMs =====
 Place your Sega Saturn ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/saturn''.
+==== Multi-disc games ====
+[[#libretro:_yabasanshiro|libretro: yabasanshiro]] does not support swapping the disc using RetroArch's disc control menu, so the save file must be renamed to disc 2's game name and the disc's ROM must be loaded manually in Batocera in order to "swap discs". There is no way to use playlists to achieve this functionality.
+For example, if you have a game like ''Panzer Dragoon (disc 1).chd'' and you've reached the end of the disc and need to swap, go into the ''saves/saturn/'' folder and rename ''Panzer Dragoon (disc 1).sav'' to ''Panzer Dragoon (disc 2).sav''. Then, load the ''Panzer Dragoon (disc 2).chd'' game in Batocera and continue from where you left off.
