Hi!

I have GOTEK floppy emulator and i have done all the updates to it. (FlashFloppy firmware, OLED screen, stepper knob, etc)
But after using it for a while, it doesn't feel really convenient. At the same time, having simple big numbers to select was quite simple.

Therefore, can anyone provide me the original firmware for this emulator, that i can flash on it? I tried to google it, but couldn't find the original one...

Thanks!

I think the devices have a flag set to prevent reading the firmware. I doubt that anyone can provide you with it. But I'm glad to be proven wrong.

Just put back the old 7 segment display and use FlashFloppy in indexed mode instead of native, why would you want to go back to using the awful software that is needed for writing images with the original Gotek?

Besides, the original firmware is protected as root42 mentions, no way of going back that I know of.
