Disc Images

Use these options to select the default directory for your disc images and also to create blank discs to use with saved games.



Automatically Insert Disc B

With this option selected WinSTon will automatically scan for the second disc of a set (eg. selecting 'dbug015a' will scan for 'dbug015b'). Most games will recognise the second floppy drive and read from it, but if this fails simply insert the disc image into drive A in the usual manner.

Disc Image Directory

When clicking on either of the Floppy Drive icons WinSTon will open a file select dialog from this directory. You can modify the default directory by typing in a new name or by clicking on the 'Browse' button. The changes will take effect the next time you start the emulator.

Create Blank Image

When saving game files you will need a blank disc image. You can create one by simply clicking on this button. A file select dialog will appear giving you the chance to enter the filename of the disc image you wish to create - NOTE this operation will overwrite any disc image of the same name. Valid file extensions are .ST or .MSA. After choosing a filename the following dialog will open.
Due to inaccuracies in the emulation some games may not save to disc correctly - if this is the case then use the Memory State Save option to take a snapshot of the emulator.
Use the dialog controls to select the size and format of the image to create. If you wish to insert the disc into the floppy drive simply select the top most option. When you click on the 'Create' button the disc will be created and is pre-formatted ready for use.
