Adding more hard drives under WinUAE

Dave_wb · 13 February 2007, 16:09

Hi fella's,
I have been using Bloodwych's pack - I adore the A4000 emulation as I never could afford to own a real one and this is more than the next best thing.... it's awesome!
Question. I am trying to add extra hard disks and have no problem adding my PC Hard disk for immediate access - but it's 30gigs worth.I just want to have a "games" drive as DH3 so I can keep my leisure software seperate from the serious stuff. Am I missing something obvious as I cannot create a 200 mb folder on my pc drive using WinUAE and therefor cant format it under emulation.Thanks in advance
Dave

Just create a directory somewhere on your PC, and then on the hard drive tab click "add directory".

This will make WinUAE think the directory is in fact an extra hard drive.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply KillerGorilla - I am now starting to add my games to the "disk" using whdload and look forward to playing all the old favourites. I have a PC and yes the games are far more advanced than in the Miggy era but they have lost something - namely gameplay!!
Thanks again
Dave
PS.Hope you did'nt forget Valentines day

I didn't forget Valentine's day, thanks

Not worth the hassle of forgetting.

You don't need to explain why you want to play Miggy games. The majority of us on here know already

They.

Are.

Awesome.
