Why aren't disk swaps detected?
Hi all,
I'm running WinUae version 1.3.2 and having a devil of a time getting it to detect that I swapped a disk. If I play a multi-disk game, it will boot off Disk #1, then ask me to insert Disk #2 in the drive. So I go into WinUae, hit "eject" on DF0, then select the next floppy image. But when I go back into the game, it doesn't detect that I did a swap. It still thinks the wrong disk is in the drive no matter how many times I try to swap. What am I doing wrong? This is so simple - yet so frustrating! thanks in advance |

check disk speed is no more than 100%, wait for winuae to aknowledge the disk change before to press anything.
some more info? does it happens with every game or with some only? |

It happens with every game. And I checked the floppy speed is 100%. Just now I tried playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It ran fine until it asked for Disk #2. I then ejected disk #1, selected the image for Disk #2, and hit OK. The game tried reading it for a moment, then came back still asking for disk #2. This happens with every game I play. I tried Flashback, no luck there either. The *one* time I got it to work I was just randomly hitting eject and OK several times, no rhyme or reason. I haven't been able to duplicate it. Weird! No one else has this problem? |

Just want to mention, that alot of games require you to push a firebutton or space after a disc swap.
This doesn't apply to Indy4. But you write "the game tried reading it for a moment". Possibly the disc is corrupt, so the game won't accept it ? |

Yep i encounter the same pb too. many games have this pb. You have to insert and remove the disk so that winuae start to detect it.
it's a winuae related pb.... but i never tought about talking about it here. |

Now I know this shouldn't make a difference but he was using the installed WinUAE and I was using the zipped WinUAE (see this post for more details http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=272438&postcount=15). Very strange indeed |
