> I´m newbie so please help me. Do I need a hard disk drive for my Amiga if i want to convert adf-files to amiga disks?
What Amiga model do you have? And what system resources do you have? If you're running on an A500 with less than one megabyte of ram, you have a problem. Thing is, the ADF disk images are too large for PC formatted DD floppies. This means that you would need to compress them in order to move them to the Amiga in the first place, and then you would need somewhere to uncompress it afterwards. A few possible solutions:
1. Easiest of all: Find someone with a decent Amiga, have them do it for you.
2. If you have one megabyte of ram: Compress the disk image, put it on a PC-formatted DD floppy together with an uncompression tool that works on the Amiga, as well as a tool to write it to floppy, move the disk to the Amiga, unpack the ADF to ram, copy the tool for writing it to disk to ram, insert a blank floppy, and try to run the diskwriting tool. You will be operating under very harsh memory conditions, so the success of this approach depends on the memory requirements of the programs you use.
3. If you have one megabyte of ram, or an extra diskdrive: See if you can find a tool to convert the ADF to a DMS file. A DMS is compressed, and can be written directly without uncompressing, so it should be possible to keep the DMS file on a PC formatted floppy and write it directly from there. If you don't have an extra diskdrive, you could also try the previously mentioned approach, but with a DMS file instead of an ADF one. It should give you better memory conditions.
4. If you have less than a megabyte of ram, you have a problem, but, the ADF->DMS->PC floppy->RAM->Amiga Disk approach MIGHT work, depending on how well the game you're trying to write out compresses.
Okay, some of that might have been a bit unclear. Feel free to ask for a more detailed explanation if any of the above solutions could work for you.
