Change harddrives?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

To combat the swos issue (but also since I have games not on amiga vision) I though it would be handy to switch harddrives... you can't do it from the infame menu (so that would be a lovely feature to add!?), so I looked at the data.json files, which contains names for the default harddrive ..

SO I changed that to swos2223.hdf, the hdf file I use in use and other emulators, but it didn't work, I then changed the kickstart, which worked (yeah!), but didn't start from the hdf files..

so my question is

  1. do i have to change the .json file more (specifics for the harddrive?)
  2. can I add a default floppy (save disk) if I aa a file name there..

(And I thought about duplicating the core, to have an amiga vision and a swos core), would that work? the analogue seems to recognize ut)

this is how I changed the data.json

"name": "BIOS", "id": "210", "required": true, "deferload": true, "parameters": 9, "size_maximum": 1048576, "extensions": [ "rom" ], "filename": "Kickstart600.rom", "address": "0x90f00000" }, { "name": "harddrive - IDE 0", "id": "310", "required": false, "deferload": true, "parameters": 0, "extensions": [ "hdf" ], "filename": "swos2223.hdf" },

You would need to provide the data logs for the harddrive issue. As I have changed them when required too just via the data.json file. The only thing I can think is if you have a file that is larger then 4GBytes as the pocket has limited file sizes.

As to the default floopy, yes you can just look up the Analogue Documentation on this and you can do a default load and file name. But I will not write this up as this is not a standard build.

To get the Harddrive logs go into the Analogue Pockets menu/tools/Developer and turn on "Debug Logging", then run the core with the image in question. once that is done booting exit the core and then go into the SDCARD with your computer and file the folder /system/logs there will be a resent log there. just upload that and I can see if this is a Pocket/core/ or system issue
