Re: Problems with HDF
« on: August 17, 2025, 02:31:50 PM »
Hi, there are a few things I really don’t get: Why don’t HDFs with RDB work? On other systems with PC/Mac Amiberry or WinUAE they do just fine. Also, why is there no option to create an HDF directly from the menu? That really needs to be added.
So far I haven’t been able to create a bootable HDF at all. Whenever I make an empty HDF in WinUAE — for example without an RDB — booting from the Installer 3.2 disk makes the mouse stop working. Overall, HDF handling just behaves really oddly.

I am playing around with HDF and custom systems quite a lot on A600GS. The only way to make it work is to create NON-RDB HDF in WinUAE or Amiberry and then import them to the custom system. I made couple of them in various sizes (500mb, 1GB, 8GB, 16GB...), named them i.e. 1GB_EMPTY_HDF.hdf and copy them over to the flash drive. Then I import desired one to the custom system and install OS and use them for WORK. Remeber you don't need to make new one each time in emulator just keep them on your flash drive because custom system copies the selected empty HDF to your A600GS/1200NG. I have many custom systems working and please let me know if you need any help. cheers
