I have some simple and probably stupid questions: But ffs, don't be disrespectful with other's work. In any case, is fine if you don't want to pay for, or like HxC. But for many of us, who have specific pieces of hardware, the extra support from an expert in floppy controllers comes very handy.

For you, who probably have generic PC stuff, would be unworth. Is something fails, or you can't make the thing work with your specific equipment, you will have to debug the firmware and discover what failed by yourself.

In any case, bootloader license is cheap, and by using HxC firmware the owner also has access to unlimited support and ways to make its device to work with his/her specific piece of hardware. If wasn't by him, and him alone, you wouldn't even have this unsupported clone, having to conform with gotek's built in firmware limitations. Giving this thing uses the HxC format, and makes use of many stuff discovered by Jeff first about Gotek hardware, along with its possibilities, you should be thankful to him. Oh goodie Yo do not have to pay money for f.g bootstrap or something 😈 Here's an external forum thread with further discussion/information. img files seems to be planned for future releases, very nice 😀įlashFloppy might not be mature enough to replace HxC or the original Gotek firmware for PC use yet, but it looks extremely promising. When writing this, 1.44MB floppy images aren't officially supported yet, so things were as expected a bit flaky, however, it seems to be very actively developed, so hopefully that's a thing of the past soon enough. Converted and played around some with a few images. hfe with the HxC Floppy Emulator Software. hfe images from a FAT32 formatted USB mass storage device, images of various formats can easily be converted to. If you however like me, got a Cortex flashed drive you have no use for, you've got nothing to lose, you can always go back to Cortex if you want.įlashFloppy loads HxC. It should be mentioned that at least I couldn't find any images of the original firmware, and it seems like it can't be dumped from the Gotek either, so the procedure seems to be irreversible.
#Cortex amiga emulator download
Tried both using an USB-TTL adapter + stm32flash, and a straight USB A male-to-male cable + DfuSe (hint: if you don't want to register to download DfuSe, there's a download link in post #11 here).
More info about the flashing procedure here. Installed FlashFloppy on my Gotek, was easy enough. Primarily it seems to be a replacement for the Cortex Amiga floppy emulation firmware, but since the author has begun to add PC floppy support in the latest release, I thought some of you guys might be interested too. Stumbled upon this when googling around for an original firmware image to restore a Cortex flashed Gotek drive:
