Option to change hdf params (surfaces etc)
 

Is it possible to support a few other .hdf geometries?

Since .hdf with surfaces = 1 cannot be larger than 1024 MB (?) or so, maybe can FS-UAE automatically set surfaces = 2 if filesize > 1024?

A user option to set those geometry parameters would be great, too.

You can use unofficial/unsupported uae_ options to archive this. For example

hard_drive_0=foo.hdf

translates toChange the 1 to 2 and you'll have your 2 surfaces. :)

Thanks, that's great news. In which file or in which option do I have to make this change? I am not very familiar with FS-UAE.

Just write it to your configuration file replacing your hard_drive_x options...
If you use the launcher: Highlight your config, go to "Additional Configuration" (rightmost tab), click on "custom configuration" (upper right button), write the lines here, make sure you don't have any hdd's in the "Harddives" tab configured, save the config, cross your fingers... :)

I am confused by "uae_hardfile2"? What if I want to mount several hdf? Should I change it to "3" etc?

EDIT: I got it to work with multiple hdf, just repeat the "uae_hardfile2" option multiple times with different hdf.

EDIT2: It only works if I don't use the launcher and edit the config file directly. The launcher erases all additional uae_hardfile2 options that I add and only keeps the last one. Pretty annoying.

Oh crap, I just noticed that right now. This is a limitation of pythons configparser module. It only accepts unique keys. It throws DuplicateOptionError exception by default or ignores them if initialized with strict=False. Looks like there's no easy way around it. :(

I wonder if an exception could be added to allow multiple entries for this particular option uae_hardfile2.
