Create an adf from a folder

a600fan · 15 January 2022, 17:55

Is it possible to create an adf file from a folder with files (I am using an emulator)?

Thank you

You launch a workbench, from winuae menu you create a standard disk..
From winuae menu you mount your standard disk.
And now from the wb you copy everything from your drawer to the df0: (to the standard disk (adf) mounted before).And that's it.

There's another command to make the disk bootable by setting the boot sector accordingly if that's what you want.

I am now moving this thread to the specific FS-Uae section.

Yes, copying from a virtual hard drive folder onto a mounted disk image is quite straightforward. Remember to use the option "writable_floppy_images" due to how FS-UAE uses ADF images by default, if you want the ADF image to be self-contained.

Another very good option is to use the excellent xdftool by Christian Vogelgsang (command line application / python library) https://amitools.readthedocs.io/en/l...s/xdftool.html. Especially useful if you want to do this often, or automate the process via scripting.
