Press ALT + 8 and find the second disk/side 2. Press F4 to 'insert' the disk.
Now in the game press the firebutton (most often, or try the spacebar) to tell the game you have inserted disk2/side 2.

I read the help, and read the reply above and none of that works. Once you select a disk and run it, if that game asks you to select another disk, you cannot change it using any of the methods described. If you press F9 or F10 and then press ALT+8 or select it from the menu, it shows you the current disk with no option to change it.

HOW do you CHANGE disks once you already have one selected?! There is NO information on this in the help. The information that is there has to do with selecting the first disk, not switching disks.

Pressing the arrow-left key does the trick! With this key you leave the current disk and go a level higher.

Thank you! I actually just figured that out before reading your post and was coming back here to post the information for anyone interested. The documentation or help needs to be more clear on this.

So you press F9 or F10, select drive 8, it shows your current disk directory, you press the left arrow key and it takes you back to a directory of all your C64 Disks so you can select another disk. Too simple, ONCE you know how. heh.

I do love this emulator though, very well done. I must have two CDs full of C64 games. :)

I'm tempted to buy a C64 again just for fun. I have a C64 and drives but I lost ALL the power supplies for them.
