Description

I'm missing M3U file support for multi-disc games. I think it's the only format Ymir doesn't support yet, so it would be important for games like Policenaults, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and others.

In addition to M3U support, it's also possible to swap discs to finish these types of games.

Anyway, congratulations on the great work, it's impressive how this emulator has developed so quickly, of the games I tested, only Super Tempo didn't reach in-game.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the M3U file format and how it is used for multi disc games. Study the existing disc image loading code in Ymir to understand how to integrate M3U parsing. Implement disc swapping functionality based on user input or emulation events.
