.nib files work with the older HLE Disk II controller (slot option "diskii"). They don't work with the otherwise-more-accurate next-gen card (slot option "diskiing"). Please try this and report back. It will require slot assignment to the older option. |

If you look under the steps to reproduce section I did use the diskii option for slot 6. |

The issue in my testing appears to be the .DSK image - for some reason it is coming up invalid even if I don't attach the .nib in -flop2 Confirm on your end and update the report text accordingly, please. Breakage appears to be June 9, 2019 and likely this commit: -ap2_dsk: only save 40 tracks if the disk originally had that many [R.Belmont] https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/a610524c5f8907897905ce109fc714b2201183de |

The fort1.dsk image seems valid here. Using mame 215, if I leave off the .nib and only use the one fort1.dsk and put: mame64 apple2e -sl6 diskii -flop1 c:\apple2\fort1.dsk The system boots that disk normally. I tried using a different version of fort2.nib, which I renamed fort2a.nib which I found somewhere else and it is different from fort2fixed.nib However, when I add the .nib and put: mame64 apple2e -sl6 diskii -flop1 c:\apple2\fort1.dsk -flop2 c:\apple2\fort2a.nib I get the same error after the simulation starts: Fatal error: Device Apple Disk II load failed: Invalid image |

If you have access to Git sources, R. Belmont just posted a fix: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/5c45fa678f29608308b249b3a751859afd0a2da1 You can pull and confirm the fix on your end. Alternatively, MAME will be releasing mid-next week (Typically last Wednesday of each month) which should have the fixed behavior |
