writing an IPF to floppy disk
« on: October 14, 2008, 09:44:43 PM »
Any chance to write an IPF to floppy on an 68000? WWARP needs at least a 020.

99% of the time it is not currently possible to write IPF images to disks no matter what CPU you have.

Neither the software nor the hardware exists to do it.


Um... what's the use of it then?

However some IPF images can be converted (using UAE) to ADF or Extended ADF and then written back to disks but not many.


How?

P.S. What has WWarp got to do with IPF images?

I found a script on EAB that uses wwarp to convert ipf to adf.

It depends on type of used copy protection whether you can write them to real floppies ATM. If you got the original disks that are slightly damaged maybe you can copy those (not copyprotected) tracks from .ipf to it with that adf conversion already mentioned.


Basically I wanted to check out some of the Amiga games that weren't that are available in IPF format.
