Greetings all! I have a quick question. Is there some sort of software launcher I can use on my FloppyEMU in 5.25 disk mode to browse and launch my programs/games on screen as opposed to physically clicking buttons on the EMU and flipping through directories on the small OLED screen? I saw reference to a program called Sneeze on Captains Quarters BBS and I downloaded it but I don't really understand how to use it to access directories and programs/games on my FloppyEMU sd card. Thanks!

Not familiar with Sneeze, but I'm guessing it's just a program launcher like Squirt or Bitsy Bye. That will let you launch any program from a mounted disk (or disk image). But there's no way to browse and mount more than 1 (or two with the latest firmware) disk images with the FEMU.
Ok thanks Jeff - I suppose all of the multi disk games would be an issue as well since you need to swap disks.
There's no way to use an on-screen method to sift through the disk images on the SD card of the Floppy Emu.
In order to do that you'd need to use a different device like a CFFA3000.
And even its interface has limitations.
You'll have to content yourself with scrolling using the Emu's buttons and looking at the OLED display.
Or a Dan ][ Controller.

Thanks guys. Yeah I was reading through the Apple II posts on CQ BBS and ran across that mention of Sneeze and thought hmm that would be cool . Also saw posts about CFFA3000 which sounds nice but I have already invested in the FloppyEMU with Yellowstone. I still have had no luck with integrating the FastChip in my setup for some reason but everything is working fantastic without it including the CRT monitor I found.

wDrive somehow has this functionality. Don't have one though. So no idea how it works. I suspect it probably only works on the boot disk, and if you need to swap, you have to use the buttons on the wDrive itself.
Yeah I thought I read that the wdrive did have that feature so I presumed the FloppyEMU could possibly be manipulated in a way that it could as well.
The wDrive does have the ability to select images onscreen. You just need to have no image previously selected. The femu could do this as well with new firmware....
