Summary | 08968: vz300 and clones: Floppy disks not working | ||||
Description |
I have hundreds of the standard format of floppy disks that work with other emulators, and did work in the MESS days. They are 97KB and have the "dsk" extension, but are not the standard CPCemu dsk format. But now, although such a disk can be inserted into MAME, any DOS command will hang, making them all unusable. |
||||
Steps To Reproduce |
Use this command as a template - substutite your own software and path. >mame vz300 -mem floppy -flop1 "E:\data\vtech\Laser200,210,VZ200\Disks\games.dsk" The machine will start up using DOS Basic. Enter: DIR It will freeze. You should get a listing of files. Or enter: STATUS You should get the amount of free space left on the disk. But, again, it will freeze. |

Numerous VTech .dsk images available online appear to be bad, due to deletion of CR characters or insertion of LF characters. |

Olivier Galibert's refactoring in 08f28cee11ce94e6656d4924c7a3c30614811783 broke this format rather badly... which is a bit surprising considering that he wrote the modern implementation in the first place. |

Thanks, works now. Took a while longer to find a floppy containing something that actually works though. Looks like most of what I have is junk. |
