Review: Artey (AT32F415) Chip, Compatible with Flashfloppy - Performance is overall really good in comparison to using a floppy drive connected to a floppy 34-pin cable/controller. For example, using Microsoft Windows 98 with the Gotek multiple floppy disk images and a Flashfloppy FF.CFG file with host defined (host=pc98), wait times are within seconds, versus the default minute for floppy disk detection times! Opting for Flashfloppy firmware rather than the default Gotek firmware, is not a simple task, however is relatively still somewhat easy while noticing several sporadic documentation omitted instructions . (eg. Specific enumerated jumper pins for programming mode; Formatting adding at least one FAT32 partition, rather than formatting entire flash device FAT32; Documenting all flashing methods of the Artey AT32F415 chip, just use simple USB-A to USB-A cable DFU flash/upload method; And initially add floppy images to root directory only, no sub-directories.) Successfully using the Gotek flashed Flashfloppy device with a Verbatim 32GB flash nano thumb USB storage media. Flashfloppy firmware is stated as creating a more easily handled Gotek device, rather than resorting to the Gotek foreign software for formatting and storing floppy images to USB storage media. Flashfloppy firmware mostly generic FAT32 format, then copy floppy images to USB media. (eg. drag-drop or copy-paste) Installing Flashfloppy 1) Requires purchasing a unique USB-A male to USB-A male cable, for flashing using the DFU bus. (eg. dfu-util) 2) Jumper two pins (eg. Boot jumper and 3v pins), enabling programming mode for the Artey chip. I opted for soldering header pins, rather than unsafely using a piece of wire. (eg. 2.54 mm single row male header, could likely use double row header.) Subsequently requires using female to female header jumper wires. 3) Attach one USB-A male end to preferably a USB hub port, the other end of the USB-A male to the front Gotek device USB-A female port. Watch activity logs for proper USB port logging. 4) Get Flashfloppy download compressed (eg. zip) file, unzip, verify the dfu sub-directory with at415 image exists. 5) Linux, install dfu-util, check the Gotek device is connected and properly detected using "dfu-util -l" incantation. Augment the following command arguments if connecting more than one device, otherwise one device should use the following incantations. 6) Linux, un-protect the Artey chip, will exit with error, wait a good several seconds to minute afterwards, # dfu-util -D /home/roger/src/flashfloppy/flashfloppy-3.44/dfu/flashfloppy-at415-st105-3.44.dfu -a 0 -s 0x08000000:unprotect:force 7) Linux, upload flashfloppy firmware, # dfu-util -D /home/roger/src/flashfloppy/flashfloppy-3.44/dfu/flashfloppy-at415-st105-3.44.dfu -a 0 8) Repeat commands as necessary, until dfu-utils indicates uploading firmware. 9) Disconnect the Gotek device and disconnect the jumper wires, and attach regular power, verify F-F display confirms a good upload. 10) Format a USB flash removable media with FAT32, so that the device has one partition. (eg. /dev/sde1) Enable the boot and LBA flags! Copy a 1.44 MB floppy disk image to the root directory of the USB flash media. (eg. Microsoft DOS or Windows 98 DOS boot disk image) 11) Connect the Gotek device to a motherboard, attach the USB flash media; if a "Rib" displays, power-off and re-attach the floppy cable, ensuring not upside down. 12) As of this stage, the device should be working. If using on a PC platform, for quicker accesses, create a DOS formatted FF.CFG file and add "host=pc-dos" option for indicating PC platform image file types, or other platform type. As of this stage, likely will notice the absolute uneasy silence of the Gotek device (eg. no floppy disk drive sounds, aside from dancing two digit LED display, and will be likely desiring adding a speaker. (eg. piezo transducer/disc) May also opt for installing an ordinary white OLED 0.96 display for more descriptive feedback for floppy image file names and a rotary switch for fast forward/backward while navigating many floppy images. I'll likely most certainly install the piezo disc/speaker, and possibly OLD 0.96 screen, not sure about the rotary dial switch as I only have few floppy images. People having 100s of floppy disk era games usually opt for the rotary dial switch.
Review: Couldn't be better - Excellent product as is, made magnificent by flashing it with FlashFloppy. If you're unsure if you want it, yes, you want it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on my swf embroidery machine 601 -c and 1201-c.**
A: I was able to get this to work on my 1999 SWF A-T 1201.  I had to put the jumper across JA and rotated it 180 so that it could be screwed to the floppy plate.  When you boot it, have a FAT formatted 2gb or less flash drive plugged in, hold both buttons on the converter down when turning the machine on.  The drive will start setting up the folders.  If the machine won't boot, let the drive finish formatting the usb flash drive.  Once it's done switch the power off and back on and let it boot normally.  Once it was booted, I had the 1201 format the file folder selected (000).  Once it was formatted my desktop was able to save files to it.  File transfers much faster than with floppy and way more folders.  I was able to load designs from it and will test it more over the next couple of months.  But so far it works and you don't have to wait 2-3 months for the SUE version to arrive from China.

**Q: can it format 720K?**
A: This model only emulates 1.44 MB disks. However, you can replace the stock firmware with FlashFloppy (open source - find it on github) and emulate almost any type of 3.5" disk media.

**Q: Does this emulator allow to write to the virtual floppy images? or it can only read them?**
A: It will allow you to create and write to them as well.

**Q: Will this work on a Commodore Amiga ?**
A: Should. If it doesn't initially, there are dozens of tutorials on y-tube.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works.
*by H***S on June 27, 2026*

It works with standard floppy cables and with KOOBOOK 1Pcs 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Connector 34 PIN 34P to USB Cable Adapter (Amazon). Several observations. Using it with the USB KOOBOOK adapter in Window flipping between floppy images is not detected. You have to eject the USB connection and plug it back in... With the USB adapter in linux (fedora 44), the floppy disk swap is detected. Another linux "feature" is creating FD images on the device (while using the USB adapter). When you copy and image to the floppy device... it works like a real floppy drive. When you "dd" to /dev/sdx it runs at USB 2 speed.. Anyway, also... test and be careful. Having multiple images on this device is a little difficult to manage. If the GoTEK would only display the volser of the selected floppy image in an LCD display...
