Step by step help lha to adf

[Vaninna]

Hi,

sorry for asking about this but I google and google and never find a guide that helps me figuring this out.

I want to transfer, for example, iff samples downloaded on my real mac to my real gotek equipped amiga 500.

The iff samples come in a lha archives. To access them through the gotek they need to be extracted onto an adf file.

I read that the smoothest way to achieve this is to use winUAE. Same as FS-UAE? That is what I found for mac anyway.

Following this guide:

https://amihelper.blogspot.com/2020/...ha-to-adf.html

In FSUAE:

Insert a blank virtual floppy ("fl1.adf") - DONE
Mount a folder as a hard drive ("HD1") - DONE
Put the lha archive ("st-01.lha") in this - DONE

Start the emulator

And now... how do I make this happen? Do I need to load workbench first? Where do I write the command? How to I target the files?

lha x myarchive.lha df0:

Please show me like I am 4

Optionally show me an easier way. Using osx Terminal?

Cheers

you could just get ADFMaster https://matze1887.itch.io/adfmaster

You need a Workbench with LHA in C: (look fr LHA.RUN on Aminet, it's self extracting)

Then boot that Workbench -> Open Shell (CLI) -> type in "LHA X MYARCHIVE.LHA DF0:" and away you go ... of course the files have to fit on one ADF file in size

Thanks, I managed to extract the lha.run in the hard drive folder. But how do I get workbench on the hard drive? I have only used workbench on floppies. I guess I need to copy/install it in the harddrive?

Unpack lha on OSX and copy to a flash drive for Gotek.
With the HXCFE program you can read the contents of the Gotek pendrive on the Amiga and write to RAM: .
And you will do further steps on Amiga (copy to adf (gotek))

Put Workbench in DF0: and do a "COPY DF0: TO DH0: ALL CLONE" that should work as a rudimentary WB Installation and then boot from DH0: and copy LHA into the C Folder

Now I can not start the CLI, givens me the this error:

fsuae software failure Line 1111 (F) Emulator/Coprocessor failure

attached a screenshot

I was messing around with the settings in FS-UAE Launcher to make the emulator run faster (its slower than my real amiga 500...). set 1 mb of slow ram, put the floppy on turbo, etc.

I tried to use kickstart 3.1 to install WB3.1, but when that seemed messy I tried to go back. Now even if I reset all the settings in the launcher I can not start CLI from the wb1.3 adf I used from the start.

plz help.

Then start from scratch ...

You'll need :

Kick 3.1
Workbench 3.1
(emulated) HDD
lha.run
any .lha archive

FS-UAE has preconfigured Configurations for A1200 with Kick 3.1, start with that ...
