Possible to set root path for floppies in config?

Foebane · 02 July 2018, 22:24

It's no big deal to hit End+F1 and then set the path if it's incorrect, but I was just wondering if the path can be set in a configuration? Especially if it can override the winuae.ini/Registry floppy path?

Not sure I'm totally following what you're asking?

For me; all my configuration files with floppy disks have the following:

Quote:

floppy0=.\Games\Altered Beast\Altered Beast (1989)(Activision)[cr QTX][t +1 Avenger](Disk 1 of 2).adf
floppy1=.\Games\Altered Beast\Altered Beast (1989)(Activision)[cr QTX][t +1 Avenger](Disk 2 of 2).adf

floppy0=.\Games\Shadow of the Beast II\Shadow of the Beast II (1990)(Psygnosis)(Disk 1 of 2).ipf

Of course "Use relative paths" is ticked under the "Paths" section

Oh, and I should also add...

My "clean" registry (or .INI file) entry for "FloppyPath" is set as:

Code:

"FloppyPath"=".\\Games\\"

...thing is, whenever you browse somewhere different and select a file, WinUAE will keep the last path so this will constantly change

Yeah, I've noticed. Oh well, it's not really a big deal, it only takes a moment to change the path. Thanks, anyway.
