Tangentg Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was trying Oregon Trail on my mobile's Apple II emulator (it might be an Apple IIe emulator actually), cAndy Apple. There were 2 Oregon Trail rom images, one called "disk 1 of 2" and the other "disk 2 of 2". After a while of playing the game on disk one, it tells me to flip to the other side of the disk or something. I looked through the emulator diskette menu but I couldn't find such an option, so I assumed I had to insert disk 2 of 2. I tried it, and upon inserting it, it tells me to "insert the other side" or something and won't start. So I went back to disk 1 of 2 and the game inevitably restarts. So is it not possible to play the entire Oregon Trail on an Apple II emulator with this rom? I know of another version of OT but it takes 3 minutes to wait through the title screens before I could get to a menu to select OT as the program I'd like to run.

Keatah Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Seems like the emulator boots whatever image gets inserted, and doesn't support actual disk swapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangentg Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Oh I found out now. I had to disable rebooting when a disk is inserted, and then insert the disk 2 rom into the same slot. Never done anything like this before cause I always assumed programs malfunction when you run it without the disk inside, less so having another disk inside it. The one time I tried running a program without the disc in the disc drive in real life, it permanently corrupted the program on the disc, but I know, that wasn't Oregan Trail.
