In which format are these disks? Did you try to unpack them? The best way to test this emu is to put all files on multisession cd and run with demomenu/dchakker

You now keep the extensions on for the disk images.

Do not Have a DISKA on the Disc, but you need a DISKB (No extentions).

I unzipped the disc images as I dint have much lucjk with them zipped. Its loaded 98% of *the discs I tried. (MSA and ST format). Also Place tehm all in the main DIR as Directories dont allow you to goto the parent.

Im really impressed with the speed, its pretty much full speed with sound. Some games are too fast so Chui needs to look at throttleing the speed.

Also It would eb good to have the Virtual Keyboard no be on screen when its not used as it makes some games unplayable as it covers teh bottom part of the screen. Also Can you have

X = Left mouse Button
Y = Right mouse button

Also When selecting an image to load, can you make it so triggers page down a list? Also can it remeber where you were when you loded teh image, so you dont have to move all the way throught eh list of images.

Another needed addition will be to allow disks to be added (Disk B, C, D etc) this will sort out multiple disk games.

Brilliant emu. Guys. Look forward to the refinements

Here is a problem i had. The emulator ran selecting the tos image would restart and put me back to the DC hakker menu and same as selecting the game. Would this have to do with using DISKA instead of DISKB?

[M@jk]

on cd root must be a DISKB file, and ROM file (TOS) if you have them, maybe try to use the demomenu (dchakker has tendency to reset when booting)

[ron]

with the lastest release, you don't need anymore diska or diskb in the sfw directory, you can load it from menu.
Also you can DL PC x86 release with cygwin1.dll and SDL.dll too. It's Obvious where to catch it !!!!
Remember that windozze version is a port from DC to PC. Have nice time !!!!
