g'day,
Using WinVice, at the moment I have a game with two sides of a disk.
I have Side A in drive 8, and Side b in drive 9. When I play the game
and get to the point changing to side b, it still tries to load from
drive 8 (side A) and crashes the game. Is there an option to auto load
from drive 9?
The game works fine if attach side b to drive 8 (when asked to insert
side b). But I'm using winvice from a multiple emu frontend, and I
load everything from command line options so far as I'm trying to
make any file loading unseen - the only thing stuffing me up is when
you get to side B in the game - is there a keyboard shortcut to swap
the disks around or something?
Any help at all much appreciated. Thanks.

If the game (or a patched version...) runs from a 1581, the OP could
also copy the files from both sides onto a single .d81 to avoid disk
swapping completely.
Cheers!
