Re: Swapping Floppies

The game likely uses low-level disk functions, which aren't supported (yet) with multi-floppy mounts. However, it will probably work with the BOOT command if the game disk is bootable; e.g. "BOOT GAME.IMA SAVE.IMA", and press Ctrl-F4 to swap images. Yes! That cracked it. As you know (and basically …

Re: Swapping Floppies

OK, I ran the latest SVN from EMUcr.com. It allows multiple floppy images. Great! Swapping images with ctrl-F4 works. Great! But when I go to save a game, the image is WRITE PROTECTED. :dead: The read-only attribute is not set in windows, so it seems like either a floppy image is inherently not …

Further questions will probably belong under a DOSBox …

in DOS
If you look at the disk in the DOSBox command line ("dir a:") and then switch disks with Ctrl+F4, do you see the contents of the disk change? I always thought Ctrl+F4 only worked for swapping disk images mounted with IMGMOUNT rather than actual folders, but I'm not sure. I think you have it right. …

Mindscape save disk

in DOS
I'm playing the old Mindscape text game Voodoo Island in DOSBox on a Windows 10 machine. I mount the game directory on my hard drive as a drive in DOSBox and everything works fine. But I'd like to save games. VI apparently expects everything to run from the floppy drive (5.25?), bc when I type "save …
