The reboot is probably related to an old bug we had when using fastram emulation. I think the emulator sometimes could not resume emulation when using it. You should try slowram instead. This is fixed in a newer release.
About your disk-swapping problem, what kind of game are you trying to run? Are you inserting the second disk into floppy 1 or into which slot? Some games require you to insert the second floppy into the first floppy slot, because they only support one floppy drive. In that case it might also help to disable drives 2, 3, 4. I think some further information might be helpful. |

When using more drives make sure they are activated before you load a game. If you activate them in the middle of running a game (i.e. when it asks for disk 2) then the amiga will not recognise them. They need to be active on boot.

So, I just took a look at your problem. Zool is one of those games that don't support the fast dma option, so first thing should be to disable it. Apart from that, since an original A500 only had one floppy drive, I disabled the other three. I set most options to what they should be for a standard A500 machine.
I tried inserting the floppy into the same slot floppy 1 was, Zool then wanted me to press fire. It may be that this is where the problem lies? Did you configure a keyboard layout for the joystick? Or do you use a real joystick? I had to press the right control key since I use keyboard layout 1. Zool then loaded up fine. My config file looks like this (the board doesn't let me attach wfc files), does it work if you copy&paste that configuration into your config file: Code:
config_description=winfellow amiga emulator v0.4.3 configuration autoconfig=no floppy0=..\..\..\..\Amiga\Games\Zool\Zool (2).adf fellow.floppy0_enabled=yes fellow.floppy0_readonly=no floppy1= fellow.floppy1_enabled=no fellow.floppy1_readonly=no floppy2= fellow.floppy2_enabled=no fellow.floppy2_readonly=no floppy3= fellow.floppy3_enabled=no fellow.floppy3_readonly=no fellow.floppy_fast_dma=no fellow.last_used_disk_dir=..\..\..\..\Amiga\Games\Zool joyport0=mouse joyport1=kbd1 usegui=yes cpu_speed=4 cpu_compatible=no cpu_type=68000 sound_output=normal sound_channels=stereo sound_bits=16 sound_frequency=44100 fellow.sound_wav=no fellow.sound_filter=original sound_notification=mmtimer sound_buffer_length=60 chipmem_size=2 fastmem_size=0 bogomem_size=2 kickstart_rom_file=..\..\..\..\Entwicklung\Amiga\ROMs\kick12.rom kickstart_key_file= gfx_immediate_blits=no gfx_chipset=ocs gfx_width=640 gfx_height=576 gfx_fullscreen_amiga=no use_multiple_graphical_buffers=no fellow.gfx_refresh=0 gfx_colour_mode=32bit gfx_lores=no gfx_linemode=scanlines gfx_framerate=0 show_leds=yes fellow.gfx_deinterlace=no fellow.measure_speed=no win32.map_drives=no Does it work that way? |

Since RCK now enabled posting of wfc files, I can now post the config file (thanks again ); here we go, just save it to your WinFellow folder and try if it works with this one?
The only thing you should need to change are the path to the floppy image and the kickrom path. |
