Title: FDSloadr trouble
Post by: kiwidaveinjapan on March 23, 2012, 08:39:59 pm
Hi there, FDS noob just starting to use FDSLoadr.

I seem to be having some issues. For some reason I can't get the files I am trying to play to switch 'sides'. I have tried pressing 1, 2 etc to get FDSLoadr to change sides, but it simply won't do it. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you hit the space bar after hitting 2?

Yup, I loaded up the first side no problem. When the game asked me for side B, I hit 2, then space. I keep getting error 7.  :(

Then reload the rom in fdsloadr when it's time to insert side B and try it.

Tried that, still no good. Could it be my computer? I restarted into DOS from WIN98 SE.

Any chance you can make a quick vid of what you're doing? It should be easy to figure out from that. Have you tried other fds images?

Also, make sure you're disconnecting the fdsloadr cable after a side is loaded and reconnecting it when the Famicom prompts you to. I don't think it will work if you leave it connected to the ram adapter the entire time.

Will be making a video in the next couple of days. I've been super busy lately. Apologies for the delay.

OK. I worked it out. When I was adding a header file to the FDS images, I was only listing it as having ONE side. ugh. Sorry about this. I knew it'd be something simple.

Glad you figured it out. I didn't see your video until just now, but can see that Zelda only shows Side A in fdsloader.  :diskkun:
