Re: Amiga emulator development

I think another Amiga emulator is a great idea.  With that said, I'd like to make a suggestion that I think every emulator should have....

The ability to change disks without stopping or leaving the emulation.   This could be handled in a number of ways.  It could be the way save states are loaded in many console emulators. Which is a control key + an F key.  Or, you could have an external device change the disk for you.  The simplest would be having a joystick assigned to the virtual drive, allowing disks to be switched that way.

An ultra cool system would be to do an Action Replay in reverse...allow some kind of pattern in a memory location to be monitored, so that when the software requests the disk, it would be automatically inserted.  Obviously, the disk by disk identification would have to be done by end users, but it would be cool to do away with disk swapping.
