Mmmm, portable civilization :)

Installed a half dozen games last night and had great success; Civilization (from SuperGAU collection) works perfectly, though when it asks for disk A you put in Gau B, and when it wants B, you put in C, etc. But she runs pretty good! Definately a candidate for save-state.. swapping 3 floppies to get into a game is a drag

Wings of Death (a classics vertical shooter) works really well, too. Pretty good game, though I'd still say Xenon 2 was better.

Sometime Ineed to add directory support.. with some of these 4+ disk games, I think I'd like to keep the disks together :/

SideWinder and SideWinder 2 (more vertical shooters) work very well

Played a bunch of other games but can;'t think of them off the top of my head. Compatability seems pretty good (for me anyway

I tried running Civ with an earlier version of Castaway/GP and the disk images I tried came from a different release group.No luck then, but now I'm Mr Happy with this news

Hope you do find time at some point to add a save state feature.

Thanks again skeezix

Skeezix,

I have been playing Civ for a few releases now, the version I have is 4 disks (From the ST Pirate Gold collection I believe).
