Roland G-800 and Gotek Emulator

[Late Bloomer]

I have successfully flashed the Gotek and have formatted a USB stick to FAT32 with the relevant software but am having trouble getting the Roland to recognise the Gotek, it came up with E 3 first and now it comes up with 00 F0 (flashing one 00 then flashing F0). What does this mean? I loaded up the AutoBoot Mode to the USB, perhaps I need to use the Indexed Mode instead?

Success at last! Thanks to Jean-Francois who gave me very clear instructions on what to do. My USB Gotek Emulator now shows the HxC latest firmware is uploaded and it is good to go! Onward and upward with the music projects, recording and mixing...never a dull moment!

Hi i got a Roland G800 and i flashed the gotek with hxc. What should i do to make it work?
I formatted the stick with the floppy manager. Doesnt work
I make hfe and img files with the hxc software. Doesnt work.
The Roland found something on the disks and i can see the first midi file on it but the roland doesnt recognize and said insert disk…
Or it says unformatted disk, when i try to format came a disk error…

Can anyone plz help me?

- Please try to set the emulator interface mode in Akai S950 HD mode.

- If this doesn't work please update to the attached firmware (Procedure)

- Please also try the attached image.

THX a lot! With the attached firmware and the Akai S950 HD settings does it work perfectly!

Hello everybody,

I am new here, and joined the forum because I have issues with the Gotek Emulator on my Roland G-800.

So I have built the emulator into the Roland. I have got some styles that I have included on a USB (after I made partitions on the USB files). However, the Roland does not recognize the emulator. Also when trying to format the USB on the Roland (using F5 - shift F4) it says 'Disk not ready - insert DIsk please'. So it looks like the disk is not recognized.

Does anybody have an idea how I can make this work? Big thanks!
