Problem with Amiga 500 kick 1.3 + SD emulator

Post by nowmar »

Hi, I have a problem with the SD Floppy Emulator on Amiga 500 with kikstart 1.3. After changing the DOS type floppy disk, for example in the workbench, the old floppy icon does not disappear as it should be. In some games (Test Drive II, 4D Sports Driving) after change disk computer crashes or errors pop up, in some games does not detect change disk. In games nodos type like Gods change the floppy disk work. The problem does not occur on the same Amiga with Kickstart 2.0 and the Amiga 1200 kick 3.0. The same A500 with oryginal disk drive and kick 1.3 works fine.

Please check your jumpers setting:

ok i have reproduced the bug here.
This is a timing problem: the amiga didn't see that the floppy was removed but see the new one... interesting bug ;-)

Try this firmware beta release :

I'm glad I could help in the development of this great device. I'll check the new firmware Monday and let you know how it works on my Amiga. Thanks.
