Heimdall WHDLoad save problems

Anakirob · 10 June 2010, 12:38

I know I'm supposed to use the Custom1 tooltype to specify a save disk, but no matter what I try it just does not want to work for me.

I've tried specifying the location of both a directory and a blank adf, with and without quotes.

What is it I'm doing wrong?

Don't know why your blank adf didn't work, you did format it, didn't you?

In either case, sounds like you should be able to save your games on the HD by removing that tooltype.

No, you need the tooltype to save the game Hewitson.

Will have a look if I find the time later

Strange one indeed. Tried it without a file, so that the game could create its own -> this is a game disk. Standard ADF created, renamed to 'Save.1', no path given and in the same folder as the slave -> this is a game disk. Added the full path -> this is a game disk. No idea how you're supposed to define the disk which it'll use. Hopefully someone has already managed to get it working and can tell us how

Which is almost exactly the same as post 4 in that very thread...

True but then one or two others couldn't get it too work

I've physically proved it works on my system
