Not sure where to ask this, tried the launch box forum without help.

Seems I and many other users have been trying to avoid using MESS in launchbox for apple ii systems, Applewin its a much easier solution.

It seems that the emulator does not handle files being sent to it to be opened.

Even when for instance if I associate the .dsk file type to the emulator and double click it in windows it will not load the rom image.

Applewin.exe -d1 "File" - loads applewin with a black scree and "apple //e" across the top and no rom in disk 1 or 2 slot. Same goes if I just use -d1

Is there a way to get it so I loads the rom onto the disk slot or is this unavailable with this emulator?

Any help would be great

Mass

Applewin has a spotty record with -d1. It breaks again every few
releases. Some recorded issues that have been fixed over the years:
#286, #276, #108

I suggesting opening another one:

Just to update on this: the issue got resolved after a re-install of LaunchBox.

For reference the issue was tracked here:
