An intriguing question to ask about floppy sound emulation

MethodGit · 24 March 2007, 18:30

Is it due to sound channel limits or whereabouts that only one floppy drive can have its sound emulated in WinUAE at any time? Because I thought that most games which support external drives tend to only load off one disk at a time anyway, so there shouldn't be any mass noisy whirrathons from all directions!

(Bear in mind though that I have no clue as to whether external drives sounded different to an internal one as I never did have any externals back in the day.)

I'm not too sure if I've posted this in the right section either, but then it's neither really a request nor a specific problem, right?

You can set WinUAE to use floppy drive sounds for more than one drive. In the sound panel select DF0: then then drive sound you want. Then select DF1: and then the sound you want for DF1:. Hope that's what you asked for

Ooooh, so you can! I guess I misinterpreted the style of the Sound options from before....
