These disks report as "unreadable" to apple2ix, even though they work fine in Candyapple and KEGS on Android, and Applewin for Windows.
Ah yes, I'm being too strict about file sizes here. This will be fixed in an upcoming version.
For now, you should be able to work around this issue by truncating the last 3 bytes of each of these disk images, such that the file size for each becomes exactly 143360 bytes.
A command to do this on Unixy systems is dd if=legacy_of_ancients_1.dsk of=loa1.dsk bs=1 count=143360
Fantastic. Thanks for the quick reply! I'm absolutely loving your custom keyboard implementation, "bad" keyboards are the bane of system emulators on Android.
Glad you like the Apple2ix custom soft touch keyboard! Yeah, there was no way I was going to play old school RPGs on my phone using the regular Android keyboard, lol! Cheers,
Your advice resolved the issue.
Fix landed in android_develop branch and slated for 1.2.0 release.
