how to swap disk inside the emulation ?

second question, how to continue emulation after you've open the GUI, if i choose start emulation, there's a reset

Thanks in advance

The only way the emulation can reset when you press start from the gui, and you are already in a game or something is if you have changed something vital while being in the gui, like "Cycle-exact CPU and Blitter", it will of course not just cause a reset, but a guru error, so more of a crash reset...

no, no. I don't change anything, i run a demo/game, i call the GUI and then press Start Emulation... and i got a reset

Change disks by pressing End + F1 while emulating.

Frog · 02 October 2006, 16:31

yep but then, after the GUI open to ask for a disk, how to continue emulation. If i press Start emulation, it do a reset. Of course no problem with Fellow...it seem i've miss something.

If you press End + F1 while emulator is running, as soon as you sellect disk it will continue with emulation.

Game/demo might require you to click with mouse, press enter or press fire on the joystick. (you can sellect keyboard to emulate joystick trough input screen prior to emulation

)

Is this a problem with WinFellow or with WinUAE?

Frog · 02 October 2006, 18:26

a problem with WinFellow, as i've tried to describe, i don't know how to continue emulation after i've reopen the GUI, if i press Start Emulation the it reset, if i press the right corner it quit...

Worfje · 02 October 2006, 18:41

Does it happen all the time? Thus, with different ADF-files?

Frog · 02 October 2006, 21:00

it happen all the time. I'm running under Windows 98SE

BTW the problem of main hero sprite in Ruff'n'Tumble which vanish under WinFellow 44 doesn't happen in WinFellow 43b1

Anubis · 03 October 2006, 11:12

I'm sorry, I messed it up. I was givin' you WinUAE tips.

Haven't used WinFellow in the ages.

Frog · 03 October 2006, 20:19

WinFellow is excellent on slow computer as it's not too much CPU eater

Worfje · 05 October 2006, 21:33

We have had this problem before, but i remember that is has been fixed quite a while a go. I'll ask Petter about it.

Frog · 06 October 2006, 23:07

ok, thanks

Worfje · 08 October 2006, 23:35

I got reply back from Petter:

unfortunately I don't remember what that could be. There's been various reset problems at one time or another, but I thought that had been
stable for a long time now. It has been many releases since I can remember doing things in the GUI that would kill the emulation unexpectedly. Except of course changing CPU type, memory etc is impossible and will cause an implicit reset.

Maybe you could send me your 'fellow.log' file? To get the right 'fellow.log' file, you need to start WinFellow, reproduce the problem and then quit WinFellow. After you have quit WinFellow, you can take that 'fellow.log' file and send it to worfje AT gmx.net.

Frog · 09 October 2006, 21:45

fellow.log sent

Worfje · 10 October 2006, 19:54

Hi Frog,

Good news!

You checked 'Automount window-drives' within the filesystem tab. This causes the resets. You need to uncheck it.

Let me know if this fixed it!

Frog · 10 October 2006, 23:01

you're a chief !

it works now !! Thanks a lot. It's far better now

I can't believe it could be this which was responsible of the reset...
