[Coco] CoCo Pi 3 and .DSK files

[Oswaldo Aquique]

Just found that using SCROLL LOCK in CoCo PI 3 only toggles Keyboard emulation.

How do I get to MAME UI and select file manager?

Thanks,
Oswaldo

Hi Oswaldo,

It is possible to mount DSK files on the CocoPi3 as MAME (one of the main emulators installed on the CocoPi3) has this feature built-in.  Use the SCROLL-LOCK key on your keyboard to access MAME's built-in UI (user interface).  From there, select the File Manager and you can browse the file system on the Pi (the SD card) and navigate to /media/share1/COCO.
You will find many pre-installed DSK images for you to use.

In addition, you can mount DSK images in Drivewire (included with CocoPi3) and those will be accessible to any Coco menu option which uses HDBDOS, RGBDOS or even YADOS.

Hope this helps.
