CDRomEmu package

[Dopuser]

Hi,
Anybody using CdRomEmu package?

I have problems with replacing ISO images there.
After removing the ISO image with command: cdromemu remove,
I change CDROM_FILE to new ISO path, and try to insert the new ISO image.
After executing: cdromemu insert
the old ISO image is inserted, not new one!

Anybody may confirm this?

It does not allow to replace the ISO path. It reads the env variable only once at mount time. After that you can only remove and insert the same ISO file. You have to reboot in order to mount another ISO file. (Part of the source code is included, so you can verify the behaviour there. Unfortunately the rest of the source code is missing, so one cannot make a better version).

Probably diskimage.device is the better way to go. http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage.m68k-aos

I've found the different way than rebooting. Dismounting devcie makes the job, and then changing CDROM_FILE and mounting again.
However, after second mounting, the Magellan doesn't recognize on its dekstop the emulated CD, in opposition to the lister with devices where emulated CD is identified properly there. Some bug, I think, but I don't know if it is system 68k related or Magellan's "feature"...

The screen grab below shows the issue:



It is the mounted ISO image but on desktop not identified as virtual drive there.

It doesn't work for me. Only 52.29 doesn't hang up the system in my case...
