Good Deal! Are you referring to the SD Card Extender?
Yes.

Confirm that D2 can be completed by using the method. Sometimes swap doesn't works, just retry it after reseting the game and getting to the swap point.

(This post replaces a deleted message that contained false information)

The trick to using the disc swap button is two fold:
#1 - plan the number of presses in advance
#2 - press the swap button FAST

*** How fast?
--> Press the swap button then the B button as fast as humanly possible

I've experimented with numerous cards and found no difference in using the swap button.
Comparisons took into account:
- card speed
- physical size (full size SD card vs micro)
- card type (SDHC vs SDXC)
- Class

see my demonstration

this is sufficient for most GDEMUs, except for the earliest clones that do not read GDEMU.ini

put disc 1 to folder xx, disc 2 to folder xx+1, etc...
xx is two digit
start disc 1, when need chage disc press once button on GDEMU and wait
what are the earliest clones? does that include 5.15B ?
