marcosgaming Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi SiriusVI, I have MAME but I don't know how to setting this platform. Can you send me screen here? So later I can try input devices too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcosgaming Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thank you Sundogak, now works very good. I have only problems with games that have more disk. How to do for play this game, how to change disk automatically ? There is a way ? I have 200 games on this platform. (TOSEC collection) Thanks.

sundogak Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 @marcosgamingNo, there is no automatic switching. Plus MAME sadly does not have a "disk swap" command like many emulators. So if the game wants a specific disk in Drive 1 (like a character disk), you have to use the MAME UI to swap it (tab key in MAME..File Manager). To some degree that is also how a real Apple IIGS worked...you eject disk, insert the other. Having multiple drives was expensive in the day at ~$900 in today's dollars for one 3.5" DD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcosgaming Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi sundogak, ok thanks. So what can I do for change disk? For to insert and eject it? How to do? Can you send me example screen or video? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundogak Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 While Mame is running Apple IIGS emulator: Hit TAB key select File Manager select floppy 3 or 4 and hit enter (whatever slot the software is asking for) A windows file manager comes up, select the floppy image you want and hit enter . That will load disk. If for some reason TAB isn’t working, hit you Scroll Lock key to toggle keyboard /UI input this is the same way Mame manages all software emulation and disk, cd, or cart swaps for others besides Apple IIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
