Multi-disc Gamecube Games

Is there any way to make Multi-disc Gamecube (or any other system I guess) games work nicely with Hyperspin - so... 

Take Baten Kaitos Origins... i currently have 2 entries in my wheel for this game (one for each disc)... I only really want one...

 

Now, i realise i could remove the second disc from the wheel, but then when i reach the switchover point, how would I load the second game?

 

Is there any way to combine the discs to provide a seamless experience (given that we now have much larger media available and the Wii plays GC games I wondered if someone may have done this... tho i seem unable to find such a thing), or have people been handling this in some other way?

 

Thanks!

This is what I did for my Dreamcast games. I'm pretty sure it would work with Gamecube as well.

Note the <!-- at the beginning of the 2nd disc and the --> at the beginning of the very next game (Dead or Alive 2 in this case)

 

I found this trick in a Database in the downloads section of this site.

 

Sorry for the late reply, I literally just found this, hopefully it helps some people.

Ya the other discs do not show up in RocketLauncher but I have tested Shenmue with Hyperspin and it does load the second disc when you get to that point in the game.

So as far as I can tell it does work perfectly fine
