Trying to make HDF file with PSF3 but it not showing on the Workbench
I am trying to make a HDF file but I want its partition to be on PSF3, I use HD Tool Box to change its partition and then it disappears from Workbench...?
I copied my CF Hard Drive from my A1200 with WinUAE and thats on PSF3 and that works ok so Simon the Sorcerer CD32 version plays ok on that. |
Did you read the documentation about how to make PFS3 (or any other third-party file system) available to the OS? Add/Update, identifier and so on?
http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/PFS3_53 You can also use a ready made hardfile from https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=925762&postcount=7 |
Yes I made one a while ago on my CF card for my A1200 so I did it right but it dose not work with a normal HDF file.
My HDF file thats a copy of my CF Card PFS3 works fine on that. So maybe the only way is to use maybe A SD Card and use that like a CF Card and put PFS3 on that and then copy it to a HDF and that might work. It dose not work properly with a HDF file, HD Tool Box can not read the HDF file properly and has the wrong size for the HDF |

Your CF card HDF probably switches to RDB mode automatically because it already contains an RDB. |
I managed to make HDF now and added the files and it needed RDB mode on but I can't get it to boot from it now, I can see it and that in Workbench but can't boot from it, all that happens is the purple floppy screen comes up.
|
Have you added the PFS3 filesystem to the RDB on the HDF?
|
I had a idea, the HDF with PSF3 will not boot so what I did was made another HDF file that uses FFS and used it to boot the HDF with PSF3 to read the Simon.iso from and it worked... :) Simon is now working without the talking skipping... :) and booting from HD.
Thanks for the help, need to check if the save on it works now, if anyone wants a copy I can upload it to the zone...? |
Got the save working now too... :) but I noticed the save is connected to the CD animation that goes across the screen, I wonder if there is a way of hiding it, if you remove SimCD32Env then the save does not work...?

In WinUAE you can made HDF where it says `New hard disk image file` and if I pick `PFS3`in the drop down box in the HDF settings panel and make a 1GB file, Workbench 3.1 do not see it when I add it and it does not appear on the Workbench Screen. its ID is... ` PFS............. [50465300 00000000 00000000 00000000] [Geometry larger than drive!]` |
If you're running Windows use Henrik's HST Imager command line tool. Set up a script with what you want it to do and run the exe with the script. Job done. I use it to make all the AGS hdf files. My script creates, partitions with PFS3 and formats the hdf file. I can then mount the file in WinUAE and it's ready to use. No formatting or rubbish like that. This is an example script.
Code:
# create blank 16gb image with compatible size (cf/sd/ssd friendly) |
