FlashFloppy is open-source firmware that turns Gotek hardware into a floppy drive emulator for retro computers, synths, and industrial machinery. It reads and writes many disk image formats from a USB stick, replacing unreliable physical floppy disks.
Use cases
- emulate a floppy drive on an Amiga or Atari ST using USB disk images
- replace failing floppy disks on a retro PC with image files
- load disk images into a vintage synthesizer or sampler
- use a Gotek drive with multiple retro machine types
- read and write various floppy image formats like ADF and IMG
- configure flexible track layouts for raw sector images
When to choose
- you own Gotek hardware and want the most widely supported floppy emulator
- you need to boot or load software on retro machines without real floppies
- you want an actively maintained, highly configurable emulator firmware
When to avoid
- you need floppy emulation on hardware other than Gotek
- you want a software-only emulator running on a modern PC
- you need write support for exotic copy-protected formats not supported by the firmware
