Nick99 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hi! My Gotek usb-stick doesn't work anymore, what files are needed on the usb-stick to work properly? Niklas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That highly depends on the firmware you use: 1 - Flash Floppy https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/wiki Specifically, this expects an FF.CFG, a sample/default file is available on the site... I set the 'host' parameter to ti99, otherwise I've left everything else defaults. https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/wiki/FF.CFG-Configuration-File 2 - hxc floppy emulator http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/ this has a windows desktop application for creating HFE files from DSK files, and that same app will create the configuration/preferences for the floppy emulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick99 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 OK, the sad part, I´m using HxCFloppyemulator and I can´t manage to find where to create the configuration. When I click on USB HxC floppy Emulator settings it says FTDI D2XX Driver not installed. I downloaded the D2XX driver to OSX and followed the instruction, but there are no difference. What am I doing wrong? or is it possible to download the config files and put it on the USB-stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick99 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I can´t create AUTOBOOT.HFE or the HXCDFE.CFG... this is really annoying! I guess these are the important files to get it work... Edited August 26, 2018 by Nick99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick99 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I managed to rescue the old files from the broken USB-stick and put them on the new one... works great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDOS Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I managed to rescue the old files from the broken USB-stick and put them on the new one... works great! Tell us what the files are, so we too can have a great working GOTEK FDD emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick99 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 It was HXCSDFE.CFG it´s the config file that is needed. There were also a HXCFEUSB_HFE_V3_0_8_2a.upd, I don´t think it´s needed... it seems to be a firmware update file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick99 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 @jedimatt42 : Conversion to HFE is not needed anymore with the hxc firmware. Jeff_HxC2001, pardon me, but I don't understand the above quote. I tried to read the update information on the pages you linked, but I seem not to grip the information, sadly. When I mount a disk it is converted to HFE with help of the HxCFloppyEmulation program, will that not be needed with the new firmware? And, thanks for the above information!
