@Sinphaltimus:
1. Just delete this folder. Is it needed by You for something on the pendrive? 2. Autoselection is configurable in FF config file. See example config file it's described inside. |

I believe it's needed by windows when inserted in a windows PC which I do to load it up. If I delete it, windows will just put it back AFAIK,
OK found this: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/preven...ion-folder-usb I'll have to visit the FF Wiki and readup on this config file a bit more. I'm running configless at the moment and wasn't sure what the pros/cons were adding a config file because of the rotary mod. |

In the release zip file You have example of config file. I'm running configless too, but You can set all options You need in the config file, and then FF save settings in the Gotek. After reset Gotek You can delete config file, and the Gotek will remember last saved config.

I dunno why I didn't just hit the wiki sooner... Wow, the config file takes care of everything and makes the Gotek so much better than I thought it was. Thank you very much for this.
EDIT: I noticed that my display is not scrolling at all until after I select and ADF. Once an ADF is selected, the scroll works to show the full name of the adf, the scrolling continues if ejected but as soon as I browse to the next adf, there is no scrolling taking place.

I dunno if editing my previous response will flag it as new unread or not, I was trying to avoid a double post - but here goes:

Have just upgraded to an oled display and rotary controller, have gone native as well (!) with a few tweaks to the example config file... simply amazing!

Hi. I noticed something with rotary encoders. I bought some different encoders, and some of them has inverted CLK and DT pins. I know there is a description in the wiki, that if directional controls are inverted: swap the A and B (aka CLK, DT) wires.
Kaffer, is it possible to place option for swap that two signals as option in the config file? I think it's simple to implement such option, and It will allow user to simple choose direction of rotation which user like. |

Ok, upon reflection, I think it's unnecessary option, but I thought about it, because I built modded Gotek for friend, send it to him, he mount it inside Atari ST, and now he ask me for possibility of change encoder's directions. I soldered encoder without checking directions, because I didn't know some encoders are with swapped pinout.
I post it here to note everyone that some encoders are swapped, so You must check them while You mount them. I thought maybe there are more people who want to swap direction without opening Gotek, especially if it is mounted inside computer or other device. I just though maybe it's good idea with simple additional option, but if not, then no problem and I'm sorry for confusion - on the other hand it's probably one time operation to swap two cables. Ok, Kaffer, if no one want it, then don't do it, and forget about it:-) |

New release v0.9.7a
https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/wiki/Downloads - Performance & reliability improvements (eg. Github issues #35, #44) - FF.CFG: host=akai, support Akai synths with 1.6MB HD IMG files P.S. Next release should be more interesting for Amiga users. I aim to improve reliability of X-Copy (and disk copiers more generally) on a wider range of USB drives.

New release v0.9.8a
https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/wiki/Downloads - Pipelined writes: More reliable write/format/disk-copy operation with slower USB drives - FF.CFG: Allow OLED display to be rotated 180 degrees (upside down) - FF.CFG: Support BBC Micro with 8271 controller Pipelined writes particularly useful for back-to-back unverified write operations (disk copy, disk format), especially Amiga which nearly always does whole-track writes at a time. |

I have a small problem with the rotary, I think i wired it correctly but it seems to turn the wrong way. Bigger issue is that it sometimes registers one ‘click’ the wrong way.
So turning it one way increases the floppy position several times, the decreases it one position and then increases it again, and so on.... |

The other oddity might just be a dodgy encoder, perhaps try another, they're cheap and cheerful. |

And another good news regarding compatibility: i've just got info from a friend of mine that gotek with flash floppy works perfect with ORIC 1 & ATMOS too!
