Krakerman Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 That worked thanks, but the only thing is that it doesn't load the .dsk file and run it you have to manually do it it just inserts the .dsk file in floppy drive 0.Is there a way to run it without having to maunally do it?

Lawrence Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Unfortunately, for more than a few old computers you have to load the disks manually. Sometimes an emulator will do it for you automatically (like the C64 emu WinVice), but unfortunately (to my knowledge) there is no emulator like that for the CoCo.

Tempest Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't know how complicated it is to load the dsk, but could you use "Send Keys" to automate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Couldn't you just send the keys to load the disk? Each emulator has a send keys feature in GameEx, so you can send whatever combo is needed pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
