So I have encountered a weird issue when I am trying to record Swords and Serpents. If I attempt to pre-roll... or soon after if I don't... it gives me an error message... Not FDS; Can not eject disk The thing is, I then went and remapped the 2 FDS buttons I saw for 2 entirely DIFFERENT keys far away... still happens. This definitely occurs with using the Start and Select button... but as well when I remapped those as well. I am using FCEUX 2.15, Old PPU with the Swords and Serpents (U) Rom Any idea why this is occuring? Edit: Sample of this occuring.. right before I roll characters no less... http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1856062484/Swords%20and%20Serpents%20-%20Test%20Run%204.fm2 Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

It appears that the FM2 file had around 11 Soft Reset + Hard Reset + FDS Disk Insert commands:
|7|........|........||
I'm not sure how they got there, but replacing the 7 with 0 corrects the errors. You can get a fixed version here.

Well now I am REALLY confused! http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1907724773/SwordsAndSerpents-Take5.fm2 I ran this just a few mins ago... and was really happy with it. Just a proof of concept run with interesting twists. Then it strikes again.. the SAME DAMN ISSUE! No worries, so I think. I go, open it up, change all the 7's to 0's as Dacius did and save. I mean the fixed one worked.. so why not this? Yep... even changed to 0's, it STILL does this BS! Can someone figure why this is the case?! [And if someone can manage to get this fixed so it plays back in full, that'd be AWESOME!] Windows 7, FCEUX 2.15, Old PPU, no slowdowns... just re-records... and this time I had no spaces in the file name either, just in case. Swords and Serpents (U) Rom as usual. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

This is a known FCEUX issue. AnS found out why this happens, and he explains in this post.
