- Install "StuffIt" and extract the files.
- Move the .TOAST file out of emulation and onto my Windows hard drive.
- Rename the .TOAST file --> .TOAST.ISO, and mount in "Daemon Tools Lite".
- Test the game, make any game option changes, and add an "Alias" to System --> Startup.
- Now recreate a new .HFV to the required size but add 10MB, in case of addition files through use / save games etc...
- Copy everything from the larger than required .HFV file --> new perfectly sized .HFV file.
WinUAE: - Use my "ClassicWB 3.1 Lite with ShapeShifter" .HDF.
- Add in one of my pre-setup MAC / ShapeShifter .HDFs e.g. "Prince of Persia" and copy the whole hard drive contents to "DH0:0".
- Copy the "DH0:0/ShapeShifter Prefs" file to "DH0:ShapeShifter".
- Run the ShapeShifter configuration window, adjust the "Graphics...", the "Volumes/Disks...", the "SCSI...", the "Memory... (p)" and then save.
- Copy this "ShapeShifter Prefs" file back to "DH0:0/ShapeShifter".
- Copy the .HFV files created in "Basilisk II for Windows" into "DH0:0/GameHDDs".
- Modify the "DH0:0/S/Startup-Sequence" for any "MacJoyPad" buttons required for CD32 control.
- Work out the size needed, create a brand new .HDF and copy all files from "DH0:0" into this.
- Create the .UAE configuration file.
- Test the game in WinUAE and take a title / screenshot.
- Put everything into directories "Configurations" and "Games\<gamedir>", and then WinRAR up.
- Finally test again then upload.
The end result is that you guys just have to double-click the game from the list in WinUAE and play 
I'm an expert at this now, but it still takes some time indeed to get everything perfect, even small games
