Title: Is there any way to play the 128K version of ESWAT in emulation?
Post by: BlinkyMcGoo on 17:19, 22 September 24
I'm running the Retroarch version of CaPriCe32, and I'm at my wits' end trying to get it to play ESWAT. I can load the silent 64K version, but the emulator has no (working) facility to change disks, and every file I can find for it has the 128K version on a second disk which doesn't self-boot.

(I also tried tape files but had similar problems, in that it wanted the tape switched over to Side 2.)

Is there a standalone file anywhere containing the 128K version?

I tried it in RetroVirtualMachine and the game runs fine. Not that I like it though  ;D
I dont know about a standalone version though. For 128k, you change the disk when you are asked.

This is from caprice32 retroarch version manual

Ah! I'd wondered why the Disk Control option did nothing, will try it with the M3U file and see if that does the trick.

It worked, btw. Boy, that is one counter-intuitive disk-swap sequence.
