Hello.
I have this game as four .d64 files. I tried to run it using the fist one and it starts, but after the intro I get a message (from the game) saying "Insert side 1 [RETURN]" and then, no matter which of the four disks I insert, nothing happens.
Yes, I press Enter after inserting the disk.
I don't know what to do. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the emulator, since I get the same no matter what emulator I use.
And I don't think there is a problem with the roms either since I tried several from different sources.
Probably there is an obvious little detail that I'm missing.
Well, thanks for reading and I hope you can help me.
Edit:
Also, apparently the game requires four blank disks.
Which brings another question: Whether this is the problem or not, how do I insert a blank disk in the emulator?

Thanks.
The part with creating blank disks works, unfortunately that's the only part that does.
I followed the exact indications on how to turn over a disk, but it still doesn't get past that part. I don't get it why it asks me to insert side 1, though. I mean, side 1 should be the one the game starts with and it should be already in, no?
Plus, as far as I could find, the game came on 2 disks, so I assume I have 4 files because each file is only one side?

That's correct.stamate_filip wrote:I don't get it why it asks me to insert side 1, though. I mean, side 1 should be the one the game starts with and it should be already in, no?
If you are using D64 files, then Yes. G64 files are different, since they are a true disk image (D64 is sort-of cracked).stamate_filip wrote:Plus, as far as I could find, the game came on 2 disks, so I assume I have 4 files because each file is only one side?
It sounds to me like the image files you have are corrupt - could you download a different version of them from somewhere else and re-try? Some RPGs need especially-patched D64 files, for them to be recognised.
Kind regards,
