Description

Description

When I insert a game disk and click on load disk it will say failed to load content

Expected behavior

Insert CD, gets read and game starts like PCSX2

Actual behavior

CD gets read, error no items

Steps to reproduce the bug

Use PCSX2 core
Insert Game CD into CD drive
Click on load CD

Edit: I seems that Libretro core doesn't support CD game disks apparently. Could that functionality be added? Seems kind of crucial for an emulator to read CDs...

Research direction

Start with the PCSX2 core and reproduce the reported steps: insert a game CD, choose load CD, and observe the failure. The issue does not name files or tests; done would mean that a supported game CD is recognized and can start through RetroArch, with the existing error no longer occurring.
