Page down when viewing disks

knight76 · February 15, 2007, 03:08:28 PM

Not sure if this is already an option. Im not big on reading manuals. But when picking what disk to load it can be tiresome to scroll down for so long to find the one your after. Especially if you have 30-40 games on your psp. Would be great to be able to just page down until you are in the vicinity.

Indeed it is an option, hold Right Trigger, to scroll down fast, hold Left Trigger, to scroll up fast.
It should be in the readme,

Lol, thanks for that. Told you I dont read manuals.

hmn, it would be a nice addition if you added page up and page down, maybe link it to left and right on the d-pad like other emulators.... then L or R to go straight to the top or bottom

Damn your so negative, if its mapped to Dpad left & right, how are you going to change options?

oh yeah

hehe, I'm not negative, just giving ideas to make everyones life easier :-) ... or something

How about if the disk menu loops so when you hit the bottom it reverts to the top again?

Ermmmm, this is going way off,

. You can just put them in folders, i.e. Adventure, Action, etc etc. Makes it easier for a start. Plus when inserting Disk 1 of a 2 Disk game, it auto inserts Disk2 to DF1:

I think its great the way it is, does'nt take long to scroll through a big list, using Right Trigger. Maybe once the important stuff is sorted, then maybe it can be looked at, adding a loop or something, but I dont see the point. Mainly because of my first comment, folders are the future.

The other thing you have to remember, HD support is being worked on as we speak. So doubt floppies will be used all that much anyway, as you can WHDLoad your games to a WinUAE HDF and then use that in PSPUAE.

Well, I just loaded wings disk one into the first drive and reset the amiga. It didnt auto load the 2nd disk into the DF1: drive. Wings requested the drive be inserted and I had to drop back to the emulator to put t in.

Sorry, forgot what it does, but now I remember, it remembers the last folder you were in. So say you had Wings/Wings1.adf and Wings/Wings2.adf in the same dir, instead of going back to main dir, it will go straight to the Wings dir, if you see what I mean.

knight76 · February 16, 2007, 11:14:49 PM

ah, yeah i know what you mean.

Ive got all my disks in the same dir.

skateblind · February 17, 2007, 10:16:22 AM

Hmm, I dont understand. Do you mean you loaded wings disk 1 into drive 1 and pspuae did not instert the other one in automatically? If so, then I dont think pspuae does that, yet. If however you mean that you inserted boths disks, but wings only found the one drive and you had to swap disks using that one drive, probably df0:, then I think that is a game specific thing as some of my games find the disks no problem and some i have to use only the first drive, like Space Quest Enhanced.

#edit# Just read one of FOL's earlier posts and he says that pspuae should load up the disks automatically, but i haven't noticed this at all, but Im wonder if you were thinking of states, cause i know they stick the disks in that were in the drives when the state was originally made.#edit#

FOL did mention earlier about inserting one disk in dfo and the emulator automaticaly inserting disk 2 for you in df1. He later corrected this by stating it remembers what folder you were in when you loaded the disk.

I was stating it did not insert the disk automaticaly as FOL said it would. That was before he corrected himself.

LOL

Crazy stuff, I suppose i made a mess of that then

I think it has something to do with my bad karma
