Hey all, I hope this is a good place to ask about FDSloadr.
I am trying to make it write disk images into the RAM adapter, and I have built the cable and the communication seems to work. (I have an old PC with real DOS for this.)
But when I "insert the disk" on the FDSloadr side, the progress bar changes from a blue line with about 10 squares to a green line with only 2 squares, and then the RAM adapter displays error 22. If I have a 2 sided file, and the first side is 10 and the second side is 20 squares, I load side A and it changes to 2 green squares, and side B again goes to 2 green squares. Somehow my transfers are getting truncated.
I can't find anyone on Google who has had this specific problem. My ultimate goal is to load disk keeper but neither the disk keeper FDS file I have nor the Professional Mahjong Goku file I ripped from the disk using FDSloadr connected to DDU (which works fine in an emulator) can be written to the RAM cart.

Everyone seems to have a different problem with FDSloadr (including me).

Sorry I can't help you but if you are looking for an alternative, FDSStick works everytime.

Have you checked that the files have the correct headers on them? I had a bunch of trouble trying to get files to load until I check the headers were correct.
