FlashFloppy is a floppy-drive emulator for the ubiquitous Gotek hardware.

- Download and play from the disk-image archives for your retro machines

Configuration
FlashFloppy has many configurable settings which can be specified in an INI-style configuration file called FF.CFG, placed in the root folder or FF/ subfolder of your USB drive.
An example is provided in the examples/ subfolder of the FlashFloppy distribution.
Compatibility
FlashFloppy is directly compatible with most, but not all, Gotek devices with a 34-pin header.
Be sure to check that page first before buying a Gotek drive: https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy/wiki/Gotek-Models
