hm, maybe that "flash card floppy drive emulator" project would one day work with .ipf (besides .adf that work now) on real Amiga

The HxC Floppy emulator project supports ipf files (and Pasti/STX file):

You should point out that to do so it uses the PaSTi and SPS plugins and most of the credit should go to those guys.

Still very cool though. Forward thinking to add plugin support to your server.

When you can support PaSTi and IPF stand alone then it will be cool!

Sorry but i didn't use the PaSTi plugin (ijor didn't release anything about the specs of his file format and his  plugin dll !!). I had to reverse engineer his format and make mine own loader.

Regarding the ipf format (and pasti), the standalone version already support it !
And Alexh the variable bitrate in track mode is not a trivial problem, so i think i deserve the credit ;-).

You don't understand : i didn't hack the ipf file format, i use the regular library to convert them to the standalone hxc floppy emulator file format. ( it's the same process for other file format : ADF,DMS,MSA,ST,etc).

Have a look to the software. (just drag&drop any floppy image to the app window, or use the command line version to convert an entire folder)

@orange: yes it should already support the zx spectrum, but nobody had test with it as far i know.
