Description

Works with the DSK, DSK-8 and DSM-8 and with existing MASOS v2 wavesamples, which can be loaded with the upper and lower sample load functions and saved in MASOS_BE format. Distributed as a .hfe disk image for Gotek floppy emulators running HxC firmware. Boxed Ear states the original boot ROM is hardware-protected. Visage (1.1.5, macOS and Windows) is free and shows every parameter on one screen. Source is not published.

Install notes

Copy the .hfe image to the Gotek SD card and boot the Mirage from it. No hardware modification is needed.
