I still don't get the gain you search from converting from IPF, to HFE, to SCP.

An IPF is 1026kbytes, an SCP file is 1x - 2xMbytes ?

For saving, check that your gotek firmware is the latest. In case of problem, contact Keir about it.
I have no interest in converting .IPF into .SCP. But I DO have an interest in converting .IPF to .HFE in order for this to work (with save game functionality) on my Gotek. I need to use HxC to convert to .HFE and HxC does not accept .IPF.

I even tried converting directly from .IPF to .HFE using Keir's tool. But PF is not supported by it. So I went with trying to do it by writing and then reading from actual physical disks using my Greaseweazle (which is supposed to allow you to get around any copy protection on the disk) but apparently, this isn't true, because PF doe not work after reading back in a newly written disk. Not even the .SCP copy works. Try it. You'll see what I mean.


I don't think I could be any clearer in what I am saying.
