 ==== Use a new workaround for disk swapping ====
-If you have upgraded to firmware V1.1.4 (highly recommended!), then you can use this new disk-swapping workaround technique suggested by Frederik Rosch in the Facebook TheC64 mini group:
+NOTE: This method is for the c64mini. The c64 full-sized firmware already has a gui-based menu option to swap your disks when in "classic mode".
+So for the c64 mini, if you have upgraded to firmware V1.1.4 or above (highly recommended!), then you can use this new disk-swapping workaround technique suggested by Frederik Rosch in the Facebook TheC64 mini group:
 > You can use Multidisks by giving both images the same name. With this, you have the same savestate for one game. You have to make folders then (ex. "Side A") to seperate the files.

+=== Steps for swapping disks ===
+When you are prompted to swap disks, press the menu button
+{{:menu.png|}}
+From the menu, select:
+{{::save_load.png|}}
+Save the game state with this button:
+{{::save.png|}}
+Exit the game with:
+{{:menu.png|}}
+{{::exit.png|}}
+Use the USB File Loader to open the disk you want to swap to:
+{{::usb_file_loader.png|}}
+Load the previous game state with:
+{{:menu.png|}}
+{{::save_load.png|}}
+{{::load.png|}}
+Now press whatever key/button is specified in the game to start loading from the next disk (usually space, enter or fire button)
