Hi, Long ago I once had an A5000. I now have a PC - but jabe just downloaded Red Squrrel to remember the good times... ... I have some games in ADF format which I have opened on RedSqurrel. The games come on 2 floppies - I would like to copy them onto the RedSqurrel hard disk. When I copy both disk into the same folder and run the game - it partially loads and then asked to insert floppy. Its been a long time since I used RiscOS - but is there a way of making a two disk game run entirly from hard disk? Thanks for any help. |

Copy protection perchance? If its a 4th dimension game you can remove such evil using this useful util. If not, what does the Help/Readme file suggest? |

Hi, Thanks for that. Not all of the games are 4D though... ...for games which are not protected but come on two disks is it just a case of copying them into the same directory to make them run entirly from Hard disk?? Kevin. |

Should be, it was like that with such games as Chuck Rock and Lemmings, IIRC.Maybe if you posted the names of some of these games it would be more useful? |

Well I was thinking about Cataclysm... ... But I guess thats a 4thDimension game so the program you suggested will work... The program requires you to have the 1st Disk in the drive - the problem is that drive 0 on Red Squrrel is my PC's actual drive - drive 1 is the one which I can mount the adf image on. I still can't get the game to work... Any advice? |
