copyed an adf file on to it. and on the amiga, how do i use the file? need some like unzip the adf int hd ?

JACK98 · 15 January 2009, 13:28

you can use a tool call adf blitzer but you would need to have it on an actual amiga floppy then dump it onto hd for it work,similar thread here

Hey Jack, you're doing a good job here mate

Don't give up, because the thread you linked in your post is really helpful for sanDae I assume

Btw : When it comes to these questions, prowler might be the better one to ask

JACK98 · 15 January 2009, 14:18

im trying to think of way sandae could do it without adf blitzer and stuff.But its kinda hard,well,except that part there i showed him might do help.Just install winuae on the pc *install wb too*,then dms adf blitzer on winuae and undms it on the real amiga so it can write back to a real disk.

TCD · 15 January 2009, 14:21

I also would say that the solution with DMS is the way to go. Should work for most of the disks

JACK98 · 15 January 2009, 21:13

you download and install winuae on your p.c,then install workbench adf files on your pc by useing winuae,you then run dms on winuae,it will compress the files to your hardrive *where u have the hard disks installed on winuae*,then copy and past that file onto a floppy and read it back to amiga,some info here

i know you are only 14,but try get someone,maybe an parent or something to buy you a adf converter set on ebay,least then you can install and run them on your amiga,then you can convert the adfs with ease,or buy a cf adf kit from ebay,what amiga model are you running?

Once you've installed WHDload on your A600 hard drive you will be able to play 1000's of pre-installed games directly from your hard drive. No need for floppy disks.

However you will probably need to upgrade your RAM. 1MB is not enough to play games direct from hard drive.

A 1MB PCMCIA SRAM card for about €25 would be good.

tht method with uae sounds most easy, ill try that;-)

sanDae · 16 January 2009, 08:59

so, the file from dms. do i just need to put it on an 720kb formatted floppy andthrow it in my miggy?

TCD · 16 January 2009, 09:06

Yup, copy the dms to the floppy and on the Amiga side to the HD. Have you already transferred DMS to your Amiga? You'll need it to put the image to a real Amiga disk.

sanDae · 16 January 2009, 09:28

can i write amiga disks on pc??, dont i have to use dd1.44 ?

TCD · 16 January 2009, 09:36

You can't use Amiga disks (unless with special hardware). You have to format your PC disks to 720 kb then you can read them on the Amiga

sanDae · 16 January 2009, 11:58

what file type is DMS??

sanDae · 16 January 2009, 12:04

It is a compressed disk image format called DiskMasher.

You could if the DMS file is smaller than 720kb.

The guy above is recommending that you plug your Amiga's Hard drive into the PC and copy the files over that way. You would need an external 2.5" hard drive adapter to connect to the PC. More expensive that a PCMCIA->CF adapter.
