|    Question about Disk II Emulation (.woz,     |
|    19 Feb 23 22:52:22    |
      From: jegali70@gmail.com              Hi there,              I'm writing an Apple II Emulator. It boots up perfectly and enters Applesoft.       Basic Programs are working fine. To test the sound and graphics, I want to       emulate a Disk Drive to be able to load some of the old games and I am quite       confused at the moment.              I found out during boot up the Disk II firmware makes heavy use of       softswitches - so far, so good.              Where I am stuck is: How do I get a "disk image" in my emulation? Which format       must it have? Woz? DSK? Up to know I know "that these formats exist". How can       I deal with these formats? What do I have to consider?              How do I "read out" these images to satisfy the emulation and give it the       bytes it wants to make the boot up complete?              I don't want just to look up someone else's source code - I want to       understand at an more abstract level, what's really going on and start a       conversation on this topic.              Cheers,       Jens              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
