Smile Creating A Directory To Act As A Hard Drive

I'd like to put some of my larger multi-disk games into a directory in such a way that WinUAE recognises it as a hard drive and automatically selects the disk it needs automatically. How do I do this please? Can someone give me a step by step idiot proof guide please? Any information would be greatly appreciated.TIA.

Making a windows folder act like a hard disk in winuae is pretty much that. You make the folder and create the appropriate assignment in winuae settings.

THAT PART THOUGH:

has no single automagical reply

some games might just work like that - most, won't
for some you might just get by by making separate folders in that virtual hard disk and with proper assignments (IN Amiga side) you could make it work

what is wrong with using the ADFs in a swap list?
or the easiest way, use whdload packages for the games you own

http://www.lemonamiga.com/ may be the way forward

It holds a lot of standard startup routines for a lot of games etc.
