I'd like to load mg2.dsk

Memory is not the problem, I tried mg2.dsk format in TR with internal memory expansion 512kb and other with 1024kb and is the same problem.

Using map.com or memtr.com and next runit or start(sunrise IDE or MMC). It hangs.
The problem is the the disk drive emulation software.

However I tried other way: with MMC(not sunriseIDE) you can create a 720kb partition and with copy720 program create image from .dsk to the 720kb partition. When I boot the program from the 720kb partition, it runs ok! Tested in the 1024k and 512k TR with internal memory expansion. It Works!

FRAY works using the same way.

And SD snatcher can run using map and next start from sunriseIDE or MMC

I think disk drive emulation software doesn't work fine.

The diskdrive emulation works fine (for what it supports right now)

Fray and the MG2 both use filebased functions. This diskemu is only for sector based games like puyo/undeadline/aleste3

You could try to start mg2.dsk on your 1024mb turbo-r with fde.com

This disk emu software is still under development. I started a few days ago only because W76 couldn't start SD Snatcher from his CF ide interface

Now i'm inspired by this disk emu stuff and want more to be supported. Updates will be posted on our site www.neardark.nl/downloads/tools.php.

Major updates will be mentioned here ofcourse.

Thanks for you work SMD

A list of supported games would be cool... and thinking about it... some kind of comparation about all floppy disk emulators would even be cooler (Runit, Start, FDE, EP, HDDEMU,...), with scores, etc... just the way you're doing with MSX emus.

Yes, I understand it

>You could try to start mg2.dsk on your 1024mb turbo-r with fde.com
ST 1024kb, using fde with mg2.dsk, it load the game but it hangs in the konami screen.

>This disk emu software is still under development. I started a few days ago >only because W76 couldn't start SD Snatcher from his CF ide interface
Go ahead, and congratulations for your job!

SD Snatcher works with sunriseIDE using map.com and next start.com

Imanok - Such a comparison would be a hell of a job, since the way you make DSK images and whether or not you chose to manually remove some sector-based copyprotection changes it all. With a lot of fooling around I even managed to run the English translations of several Microcabin games in HDDEMU...

If you have any ideas on how to perform such a comparison (and what to do and what not to do to get .DSKs running) I might give it a go one day

You can start sd snatcher with runit. you won't need to use map.com before starting the game. I added it to to the code

Some games have problems with the R800 so with runit the Turbo-R will be switched to Z80 mode when starting the game. Start doesn't do this.

When i'm finished coding with runit i'm going to check which games can be started with it and post a list.

I can't get Aleste2/Herzog and Feedback to work (Except the Feedback translated to english by deltasoft, this one works :S)

It was only an idea... I never meant it to be easy!

Does runit switch to Z80 mode by default? Or can you set a switch to enable/disable it. Btw aleste2/herzog and feedback do work with start. Isn't you're code based on it?

Aleste2 does start indeed, but when you have to change disks the hdd will spin down...

Yes I rember that I played it from CD. Didn't have that 'problem' with the bert interface.

indeed got the same prob with aleste here
now i run it in hddemu (a total new experience! a little bit faster !)

I've put a new one online. I added the /R switch which keeps the cpu at the current state on a Turbo-R. By default it will be switched to Z80 mode.

There is a new version Runit v1.01
