Diskswapper

I`ve been having a retro moment and decided to make some configs for floppy games with more than one disk and found a neat little shortcut for Diskswapper.

This is what i did for Valhalla, 6 disks:
Load all the diskks into disk swapper no`s 1-6, make sure disk 1 has df0 as the boot.

Start the config and after the loooong intro it asks for the data disk.

Press end + 2 and the disk changes to the second disk and loads.

Press end + 3 for the level1 disk and so on.

This works for SOTB2 + Valhalla2, saves a lot of disk loading as long as you remember which disk is next....

Just a couple of things I thought you should be aware of.

Valhalla supports all 4 disk drives, so there's barely any need for diskswapping.

You can skip the Valhalla intro by holding down the firebutton

I must just add that all the Valhalla disks are in one archive so loading them in diskswapper keeps them in the archive plus games like SOTB2 & Chuckrock dont support df1.
