Setting for Apple IIGS

[marcosgaming]

Hi guys, 

I'm trying a configuration for Apple IIGS on Launchbox. 

It's possibile emulate this platform? 

Send screen and information here. 

Thanks.

Mame can emulate Apple IIGS, but I've had problems with inputs devices.

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...

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.

@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.

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.

While Mame is running Apple IIGS emulator:

1.  Hit TAB key
2. select File Manager
3. select floppy 3 or 4 and hit enter (whatever slot the software is asking for)
4. A windows file manager comes up, select the floppy image you want and hit enter . That will load disk.
5. If for some reason TAB isn’t working, hit you Scroll Lock key to toggle keyboard /UI input 
6. this is the same way Mame manages all software emulation and disk, cd, or cart swaps for others besides Apple IIGS
