Making cf_ClassicWB_FULL.hdf bigger?

emuola · 05 June 2009, 09:00

Sorry for my noobness, please bare with me.

I got the cf_ClassicWB_FULL.hdf booting in Winuae, so I managed to install it (wb files etc.) properly

(I plan to use a cf-card with a pcmcia-to-cf adapter with A1200 to hold the hdf-image) Now I don't understand how can I make the original hdf bigger to "hold" my whdload games (it's only 200 MB)? I got the impression that hdf-images can't be resized and that I should simply create a new hdf-image and copy the contents from the cf_ClassicWB_FULL.hdf. I then stumbled across some info on hidden files that cannot be copied in WB, which seems a bit daunting for a noob like me. Have I understood correctly so far? How do I do the create new-copy contents -procedure in practice?

It's totally straight forward. Just create a larger HDF as you mentioned, mount it as DH1: in WinUAE and ClassicWB as the bootable DH0, boot then launch Dopus.

Select all the files in the left hand window DH0: and copy them across to the right hand window DH1:

Dopus will show and copy all files, including hidden.

As for using a HDF on a CF card - that's not my area of expertise!

@Bloodwych - I was going to ask exactly the same question on here, so thankyou!

BTW - I have installed ClassicWB Full on my emulated A1200 with 8MB Fast RAM and it works a treat, so cheers for that too!
