MAME Emulation

[pser1]

just to verify everything is ok, I converted a binary file to a cas file and loaded it
into MAME Dragon64-PSG. It works flawlessly.
That's really great!
Good job!

If it is mandatory to use tape files, I would rather prefer to wait for the MultiPack to be implemented
so that we could have at the same time the FDC and the PSG as on my actual setup ...

I'll try to get the MultiPak in for the next release. The reason it's not currently available to Dragon machines is that the current implementation automatically inserts a CoCo FDC cartridge into the MultiPak, which doesn't work with a Dragon. It also needs to know whether it's being connected to a CoCo or Dragon to determine which cartridges are made available to insert, ie. CoCo should include various CoCo FDC carts and if Dragon then include various Dragon FDC carts, etc. So it's not just a simple case of making it available to the Dragon.

That's good to know

@Pernod70
I am not in a hurry!
I can wait as much as needed.
I know that there is a chance you will be adding support for the the V9958 on the Dragons (using the Wordpak2+ module)
Once we have the MPI, we could install the FDC, WP2+ and PSG to get a powerful Dragon-MSX2+ computer.

The Wordpak2+ is already in my development build, but not quite ready for release.

No problem at all. This will enhance a lot the Dragon capabilities on MAME which in fact means that we could
debug on MAME the programs if they do not work as expected, so this is great news for all of us!
We will wait till you release those new module emulations!

Compiled mame 0220 the other week. Still appears to be a problem with Soren's OS9 double sided disk booting, which works fine on a real machine, on Xroar, on multiple drive emulation mass storage solutions.

Something is definitely wrong with Mame's floppy subsystem for Dragon 32/64 machines.
