WinUAE, gotek and HFE

quantum8 · 09 July 2020, 04:29

I've been playing cannon fodder using a HFE save disk in my gotek running flashfloppy. I have to travel away for work for a while and will be without my amiga so I was wondering if I can convert this disk to a format readable by WinUAE since it does not appear to readily support this format.

As a suggestion, I've tried the HxCFloppy software to convert to ADF but that didn't work. Same for trying to convert to IMG and renaming to ADF (it only produced a 17kb file in that case).

Failing that, is there a way to copy the save game files from HFE to an extended ADF for WinUAE, and vice Versa?

xcopy to copy from hfe to an empty adf?

I am not interested in adding support because this format is not meant for transferring data between systems and it probably also is very low level format (contains pulse lengths) and converting it back is annoying.

Understood Toni. Was just hoping for a conversion program that works rather than integration.

Might give this a go. Otherwise I'll just have to start again I guess!
