Debug command to switch CD-ROM images

[charliebrmg]

The command line for debugging during normal use (even if using such command line pauses the emulation) is something I've found especially useful. Have you thought of the possibility of adding a debug command to change between CD-ROM images (*.iso and such) without having to reboot the emulated machine? That could be helpful for a bunch of software, which came in multiple discs back in the day.

For example, it could be something like this: ch-cdrom <path-to-new-cd-image>

I personally would appreciate that very much.

I implemented something like that for floppies in my fork:

The DPPC debugger is a convenient place for adding commands to perform actions that you would normally initiate with a UI - especially while DPPC doesn't have much of a UI.

AtapiCdrom supports an empty CD-ROM drive so adding a debug command for that should be easy?

ScsiCdrom does not appear to support an empty CD-ROM drive. That will need to be fixed first before a "change disk image" command can work with that.
