Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

Thanks for the translation!

I've been trying to get this to work, but given my tries I'm inclined to think that the X68K driver doesn't support disk writing/formatting yet? Hopefully one of the devs can comment.

Here's what I did:

Following the translation, I booted from the second dracula disk while having an empty disk (created by MESS) with read-write access in drive B:. Regardless of holding OPT1 it brings you to a menu, where I assume the yellow marked option as shown below is the one to get the user disk created in drive B (it accesses drive B: on selection, so I guess that's right).

Unfortunately, this brings you to the <A>, <R>, <I> screen as posted below, which I assume to be the classic Abort, Retry screen.

Possibly this is because the empty disk created by MESS isn't formatted yet? So I downloaded HumanOS from here: http://retropc.net/x68000/software/sharp/human302/index.htm, booted from it (see last picture below) and did (for example):

"FORMAT B:" in the shell. It comes up with an error after accessing the disk. Then I made a copy of the HumanOS disk (in Windows), inserted this disk in drive B: with read-write access and tried erasing files from it by doing:

"DEL *.*", or "DEL config.sys", but it returns the Abort, Retry error after accessing the disk.

My bottom line conclusion as such is dat disk writing isn't yet supported in the X68K driver?
