shortcut for quickly swapping adf
is there any key or shortcut for quickly swapping adf images?
an example: boot from disk 1, then asked for disk 2, then disk 1 again, disk 2, disk 1 again, etc... Last edited by honx; 07 December 2016 at 13:24. |

Yes; you need to put all your .ADFs into the "Disk Swapper":
 Then if you press: "END" + "1-0" = insert disk from swapper slot 1-10 "END" + "SHIFT" + "1-0" = insert disk from swapper slot 11-20 "END" + "CTRL" + "1-4" = select drive |

today i tried that disk swapper feature. i put the disks into there but i can't assign any drive to them.
i can only set df0: for one of these games. and this swapping using "end" + "1..." doesn't work either. |

The best solution and the one to drag the file ADF, this way the ADF file will automatically go to DF0

Why don't you just add DF1: and not worry about swapping?

so swapping is the only option in these cases. |

Perhaps you tried END+numpad number? END+numpad = quick statefile save/restore. END + "main keyboard number" = disk swapper.

Later, of course, came external floppy drives and then HDDs, and of course, WHDLoad. |

I bought my A1000 and an external floppy drive in 1985 because I hated swapping disk, which is why I suggested it. Mine was primarily having Workbench in DF0: and whatever I was working on in DF1:. I wasn't thinking about games.

Some older games are made to load at absolute address. Just after what programmer thinks that is beginning of free memory space. And if you add additionally expansion or floppy drive some game won't work and sometimes will crash system. That's why you'll find bootblocks which can disable additional drives and memory.
Also some games have its own disk loader which works only with DF0. Last edited by Tomislav; 18 June 2017 at 13:29. |
