And indeed the MPI manual says that switching the slot and pressing the reset button is a way to make it happen. So looks like soft reset does also do that.

I think I'll keep the code I just added to distinguish hard & soft resets for cartridges, but looks like it won't be used in this case :)

All of the downloads are not working, so if you could fix those that'd be great.
Dragons are cool and very green :P
Current goals:
- Go to England (near future if economical situation improves)
- Finishing college (currently questioning my career choice)
- Getting a space of my own
- Get a job

Hello Ciaran,
I have just downloaded XRoar 1.0.5 and I am having some trouble using it.
Till v1.04 I could use Ctrl+1 to mount an VDK to drive 1 and then issuing DIR I could see the contents
Now after mounting the disk the keyboard doesn't work properly.
A lot of keys do not produce anything on screen but pressing L opens the FileLoad and pressing R restarts XRoar
Q quits XRoar and M enables/disables the Windows menu ... What has changed the old behaviour?
If I use the mouse and do mount the VDK using the Windows file menu, everything works fine, but using keyboard shortcuts
was very helpful!
will read the new pdf for maybe I have not seen the changes done ...
cheers

I have the same problem with xroar-snap-1.0.977 and xroar-snap-1.0.1000, and not just with mounting disc images, CTRL+L to load a tape also produces this behaviour.

Erk that's not good. Under Wine I see no issues.

But the new uploads are linked against a newer version of SDL, which is probably what's causing the problem. I'll see if I can back that up a bit for the next bugfix release.

So yes, linking with an older build of libSDL2 fixes that - 1.0.6 now out!

Wonder what change caused it - maybe I'll 'bisect' SDL and find out...

Thanks Ciaran, 1.0.6 seems to work properly.
