Hi,
It will be great to add an option to forbid write on a floppy disk image on Ao486 core.
It will limit error if we don't want to write on floppy disk image.
Thanks !

For now does marking it read only in the file system not work?

I tried to change the rights of the file on the linux shell of the mister.
The command chmod doesn't change the rights on a file on usb drive or on the sdcard ...
So we can't able to do the test

Works for me.
Code: Select all
$ ls -l /mnt/mister/games/ao486/floppy.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1474560 Sep 3 19:20 /mnt/mister/games/ao486/floppy.img
$ chmod -w /mnt/mister/games/ao486/floppy.img
$ ls -l /mnt/mister/games/ao486/floppy.img
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1474560 Sep 3 19:20 /mnt/mister/games/ao486/floppy.img

I have my floppy image zipped, with exception of disks that I have to be able to write to.
Zipped floppy images are cant be written to.

The readonly is just on the cdrom image. I didn't see any option for floppy side.
Thanks

Yeah, would be nice with this option for floppy disks as well.
