Description
Didn't expect this one to come back huh?
Going to make this a global request you can't select a specific disc/floppy in DOSBox-X nor Opera (3DO) has this implemented, and if another core that is a multi-disk system doesn't allow for selecting a specific disk well this is why it's global request.
Also annoying that Virtual Pad doesn't show disk selection which would also be nice, but that's not the topic about this request.

Research direction
Start by tracing BizHawk's global disc-switching controls and checking how multi-disc cores expose disc selection. Compare the existing controls with the Virtual Pad interface, while keeping the requested scope focused on selecting an arbitrary disc. Done means the global control can select a specific disc for supported multi-disc systems without requiring core-specific implementations.
