Everything is beginning to fall into place now - thanks heaps to you both  :notworthy:

Part of the problem I was having with the fliplist was that I was messing around with it at work and on the work PC I had Winvice 1.12 which doesn't allow them to be passed at the command line I think. Upgrading to 1.19 fixed that part of the issue and I was able to see how they work.

The files themselves appear to be text files with image names associated to a device.
EG:

--- Code: ---# Vice fliplist file

UNIT 8
c:\vice\games\caligam1.d64
c:\vice\games\caligam0.d64
--- End code ---

I found that if you have the second disk listed first in the VFL file, then when you ALT-N the second disk is selected first as the first is automounted on launch (if that makes sense).

I think about all that is left is to mess around with AHK to include the remapping of ALT-N to a different key that is on my cab. When I first tried it, it not only did the ALT-N, but also exited Vice. Obviously needs a bit more work  ;) Once I get the hang of it, I'm sure it will prove very useful - especially when paired with Mamewah 1.62 as I have a couple of other programs with non-ESC exit keys. I spent most of my time messing around with Mamewah 1.62 getting it setup and working the same as my 1.61 setup.

It was also good to see that you can pass a VFL and a VSF file via the command line and it all works as you would hope  :)

Edit: Okay, got the script running by the look of it. Not as hard as I thought. I just seemed to be missing a "return":

--- Code: ---R::
Send !n
return
Y::
Send !x
ExitApp ;
return
--- End code ---

Of course 'R' will become whatever key you want to press to send ALT-N to swap images.

hey, thats really interesting though, I had completely given up on the idea of running any double sided disk games!! Thanks, I appreciate it!! I can't wait to see Maniac Mansion on my cab!
