Can't save game fate of atlantis

prabmire · 23 October 2011, 12:17

Hey guys,

I followed perfect instructions to format a floppy into amiga format. However i'm not sure if i did it the right way as when i want to use the floppy to save a game in fate of atlantis on the A500 it doesn't recognise the disk as an amiga disk, but the disk works fine on workbench..

So maybe just try another and another disk, DD not HD.

These are brand new DD disks thats the point, is there different methods to formatting in workbench or the same method?, or is it possible for the disk to be formatted at time of saving

which workbench are you using to format the disk,not that it matters
also what options are you using in the format.

Using this command, in workbench 1.3

Format Drive DF0: Name "Empty" NOICONS FFS
