I'd rather not build one, can anyone help me purchase one of these sets with the 256mb or preferably the 512mb sets? |

kyuusaku,
FDS on PowerPak is good news. But the files to do so are gone. Know of a place to get them? Also, are you ever going to re-release some of those mappers that you got working?
My RGB modded NES is waiting for this stuff! |

No idea where to get the files, I didn't even get the update while it was up. Just wait for another update I guess. I'm not going to release any mappers any time soon. |

This adapter thing sounds really hoaky. I mean, partitioning by pages, trying to find what game goes with what page.
To be honest, I'd probably say your better off with cable transfers or disks with labels. The small set of games I have all used color labels with game title/screenshots. It also helps to use a machine with lots of memory so you can store frequented games often. |

I'm still interested, my super ufo does not have a cable transfer feature, though my pc is not close enough for it to work even if it did have one. Also it seems more reliable and longer lasting than a floppy drive and floppy disks. |

Interesting product indeed, yet i'm wondering about the user-friendlyness of the thing.
If it can store 100 pages, and you fill it up with 100 virtual floppies, I guess you're supposed to remember that game X is on page 67 or game Y on page 78,79&80 (for exemple), quite a hassle in fact, isn't it?
Later,

not much of a hassle if you only use the first few pages to house any 1-3 games you may be playing at a time. Still seems more reliable than the floppy drive on the copier. Also still interested if anyone is willing to help me order one. |

A small booklet could be used as an index from page numbers to games. Is anybody going to buy one of these and see how well it works in their copier? |

大家好,首先我先说一下,因为我的英语不是很好,所以这些问题我只能用汉语回答,请懂汉语的朋友能给
翻译一下,在此多谢。
因为这个仿真软驱是设计出为老式的绣花机和其他一些工业用机用的,所以根据这些不同的特点设计的软驱
也有许多型号,像这个http://www.xiuhua.org/Article/UploadFiles/200709/仿真软驱/02003.jpg,
是把切换页的按键外接出来,以适合有些绣花机由于软驱内置只留了插软盘的口而遮挡按键不能操作的原因
,而http://www.xiuhua.org/Article/UploadFiles/200709/仿真软驱/95002.jpg 这个仿真软驱就是为
那些留的软驱口比较大而不影响按键功能的绣花机设计的,但这两种仿真软驱的功能是一样的,只是外观不
同。
另外对于选择512M或1G的卡,是因为现在市场上买容易一些,而256M的已经很难买到了,并不是256M的内
容不够,而实际上无论256M、512M还是1G的卡格式化后都是144M,没有区别。另外,因为设计的问题,1G
以上的卡的兼容性并不是太好,主要是速度的问题,所以建议还是最好选择512M的卡。另外告诉一个测试
结果,用512M的SD卡或TF卡加USB转接卡,也同样可以在仿真软驱上正常使用。
另外,还有其他一些型号的仿真软驱,基本上功能都差不多,只是分别可以仿真1张软盘、100张软盘和
720KB软盘等不同的功能。
另外告诉大家一个测试结果,目前我测试这个软驱,在DPF、UFO这两个磁碟机上使用都很正常,模拟的100
张软盘都可以支持,在DSF7上测试的结果是,DSF7目前只能支持1张模拟软盘,而不能进行100页的切换,
据我分析可能是DSF7的读软驱方式,它在读完一张软盘后一直发出检测更换软盘的命令,导致仿真软驱的
页切换功能失效。另外,我也测试了DOCTOR PCJR,这个软驱不能使用,测试了RETEK FAMICOM,软驱只能
进行读不能进行写操作。
另外,关于购买的事项,如果哪位能在中国的淘宝网上进行购买,可以团购,或者找身在美国的可以上中国
淘宝网的人代购也行,我推荐一个人,看她能否给你们代购。她在美国,我找她从美国给我代购过东西。
她的联系方式是 QQ: 972494803 Email: kkittyhawkk@yahoo.com |

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to talk a little bit, because my English is not very good, so I can only use these questions to answer in Chinese, Chinese friends can understand
Translation you, to thank.
For this simulation is designed to drive the old-fashioned embroidery machine and other industrial machine, so on the basis of these different design features of the floppy drive
There are many models, like the simulation http://www.xiuhua.org/Article/UploadFiles/200709/仿真软驱/02003.jpg ,
Is the external button to switch out of the page to fit embroidery machine because of some built-in floppy drive, leaving only a floppy disk inserted in the mouth and can not block the view of the key reasons for the operation
, And the simulation http://www.xiuhua.org/Article/UploadFiles/200709/仿真软驱/95002.jpg simulation of the floppy drive is to
Those who stay in the mouth of the floppy drive more without affecting the key features of the machine embroidery designs, but two floppy emulation function is the same, not just the appearance of
The same.
Another option for the 512M or 1G cards, as is now easier to buy on the market, and has been very difficult to get the 256M, and 256M is not within the
Not enough capacity, both in fact and 256M, 512M or 1G cards are formatted 144M, is no different. In addition, because of design problems, 1G
Over the compatibility of the card is not very good, mainly speed, it is proposed that is the best choice of the 512M card. Another told of a test
As a result, the 512M with SD card or USB adapter TF Calgary, also can use the simulation to a normal floppy drive.
In addition, there are other types of floppy emulation, the function is basically similar, but each simulation can be a floppy disk, floppy disk and 100
720KB floppy disk, and so different.
In addition to tell you the results of a test, I test the floppy drive, in the DPF, UFO two drives are used on normal analogue 100
Zhang floppy disk can be supported on DSF7 As a result of the test, DSF7 can only support the simulation of a floppy disk, and can not be 100 pages of the switch,
As far as I can possibly read the floppy drive DSF7 the way it finished in a floppy disk has been detected issued an order to replace the floppy disk, floppy drive led to the simulation of the
Page switch function failure. In addition, I also tested DOCTOR PCJR, the floppy can not be used to test the RETEK FAMICOM, floppy drive can only
Can not be read to write operations.
In addition, on the purchase of the matter, if any to Taobao in China on the purchase, you can buy or find in the United States could be on the Chinese
Taobao also get people who visit, I recommend a person to see if she can get to you. She was in the United States, I find her from the United States had to get my things. |

Can somebody summarize that translation? It was very difficult to understand. Does the USB-to-Floppy drive work in a GDSF7 or were there problems? |
