I just played with the cartridge version for the first time (took a

cartridge).
Yes, Hatari is absolutely not user-friendly regarding to that.
In which way, and what would be better?
I had to say -d "" on the commandline to avoid GEMDOS HD emulation. It's
not
intuitive. There should be a way of disabling it in the UI. If there is,
I
couldn't find it.
Same as with other drives, just "Eject" GEMDOS HD (directory)
in the "Hard disks" dialog. After you OK the changes, emulator
reboots without GEMDOS HD.
I thought I'd tried this, but obviously I hadn't. Anyway, to get back to
Vincent's point, it's not obvious to a naïve user that in order to run a
cartridge he needs to disable GEMDOS HD emulation. I knew that, it just took a
while to figure out how to do the disabling. But IMO it's not obvious that
GEMDOS HD emulation implies the use of the cartridge port. Perhaps there ought
to be a one-line explanation on the GUI panel that GEMDOS HD emulation and
cartridge port usage are mutually exclusive.
I see. Currently the warning goes to console, and user
misses it unless he had terminal open.
Nicolas & co, attached is patch to add note about this to
the SDL GUI dialog, but should the cartridge warning be
shown also in a dialog, not just in console?
