Floppy Drives
Right guys. i am wondering why two things are happening... I am using the emulator and the right Kick, but these are the 2 problems:
1} Lets say i am using a game with 4 disks - Why on some of the games does the emulator refuse to go to the next floppy required - and doesn't ask for anything what-so-ever ? 2} A game or prog with 2 or 3 disks will load the main prog disk - then ask for disk 2 {or 3} even though they are already loaded in the other drives ? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. In general, the emulator and Kicks work fine :D, but this niggle is a tad annoying :mad |
Not all game loaders are programmed to see external drives, there is nothing you can do.

I have had the issue through win uae when playing multi disk games, only suggestion i can give is what i do >press f12 when it asks for disk 2 load disk two in the same dfo that disc one was in (remove disk image one first) press cancel and it should recognise the second one within a second or two on the game
works for me anyway :) chris |
That old chestnut again,when i had a real amiga back in the 80s 90s i used to wonder why this happened and i later found out it was because i was on 512k of ram and you needed 1 meg of ram or more to resolve this but this is not always the case most of the time its the programmers are just f**king lamers.
Then when i got rid of the amiga and moved on i thought those days were gone and now im using winuae the nightmare returns.:crying:lol |
Thanks
Hey... thanks guys, i will have a go at what Chris ck1200 suggested and see what happens. Yes the probs was the same in the REAL set ups... used to really bug me - i'd gone to all the expense of getting several FDD's and when the programmers made NO provision in the software, i had to keep switching drives off and resulting to just one external FDD {sometimes not even that was catered for :mad } Oh well, cest lavie - just have to keep :banghead till i go completely :nuts Thanks again guys ;)

On the emulator you can use the disk swapper to make the pain a bit less ;) Have a look here : http://guide.abime.net/gguides/winuaeb.htm
