I'm using 6128+ and m4. Is there a version of Rick Dangerous 128+ that will work with this setup? It crashes to the loading screen. Physical disk works nicely, though.

Rick Dangerous 128+ not works from M4.
to play on a real machine, you have 2 options or you use a Gotek or as I have done, I record the DSK on a 3" floppy disk using the M4FE frontend and play from disk !!!

Yes, luckily physical disk works like I said. This would be fun to get working in the future.

Can anyone successfully launch "They Sold A Million" disk 2? I'm having trouble. Depending on my ROM config, it either reboots, can't find AAAA.bin, or comes up but freezes.

Hello,

I have the same issue, with "AAAA.bin" file not found (certainly the lack of FDC emulation).
No problem with the same DSK on Gotek or USIfAC II.

AAAA.BIN is famously known as part of the SPEEDLOCK protection. May be the ROM table in RAM has moved the drive user entry (&A70x) to an upper address and the game loader do not read the good bit value to properly got the AMSDOS drive configuration. For example, it try to search the file in drive B instead of drive A. Can you select the DSK file for both drives A/B to see the result?

"They Sold A Million disk 2" DSK on Gotek as drive A: ok

"They Sold A Million disk 2" DSK on Gotek as drive B:
1st attempt with a random floppy disc in drive A: "AAAA.BIN not found"
2nd attempt with no disc in drive A: "Drive A: disc missing. Retry, Ignore or Cancel?"

Sorry I misunderstood, I forgot to use the M4 Board.

"They Sold A Million disk 2" DSK on Gotek as drive A.
Launching the game from the M4 Board

3rd attempt: ok, but the loading continues on Gotek (as drive A)
