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.
