  1. @megaman_255 Hi, Better late than never I suppose, this might be useful to other people trying to get discs to autoboot. This is how I do it: Double click the game you want to autoboot, e.g. Elite.ssd Once in BeebEm, type *. or *CAT and press Enter to list the contents of the disc. A !BOOT file needs to exist. This is like a startup file which shows what commands will be executed when the disc boots up. If one exists you can see what it contains by typing *TYPE !BOOT The Elite one contains this: *BASIC *DIR $ MODE 7 CHAIN"ELITE" The last part of getting it to boot automatically is to used *OPT 4,3 Before setting this option run the *. command again and if it displays "Option 0 (off)" in the top right hand corner this means auto-boot is disabled for this disc. If you run *OPT 4,3 and then run *. again you should see "Option 3 (EXEC)" instead. Now if you do a reboot (Shift BREAK) using Shift F12 it should auto boot the game. This should persist and should auto boot the game when launched from Launchbox. Note: If you have it in a zip file (with Launchbox emulator options set to unzip) then any changes you make to the disc won't be saved.
