Same data disk ADF, different configurations
 

Hi, I am running FS UAE through the launcher V3.05u2 on UBUNTU 18.04 and I am having thi scenario.


I have two identical A600 configurations with workbench disk.


With FS-UAE I create an empty ADF disk.


I run the first configuration and I put some data in the empty disk.


After closing I run the second configuration, but the disk appears to be empty yet. Then I close again and I run the first configuration and the disk has the data.


If I create others configuraions the disk appear to be empty: it has data only in the configuration where I put data on it, but the adf file is the same.


So, where are the datas? How can I create a disk with datas available for all configurations I have?


Thanks.

This is normal. FS-UAE creates things like snapshots of ADF files. So all changes are stored in these snapshots an let the ADF files as they are. You just use:

writable_floppy_images = 1

config option to be able to write all changes to the original ADF file.

Hi, and thank you for the reply.


Unfortunately I tried but it doesn't work: I put the same configuration row in the two different configs, but the data keep to be differents.


Any idea?

Hi!

The changes you did so far, i.e. before you set the writable_floppy_images flag, are still saved in the overlay file and are still in use.

Use X-Copy or another disk copy tool in order to copy your old overlayed disk to a new one with writable_floppy_images = 1 enabled.
