Sadly that did not solve the issue. It remains the same.

I use the rom tested on WinUAE and the Lemmings.lha I showed yesterday and it still goes like shown in the pictures.

Like SkullEater, I'm at a lose, as mine also all work perfectly fine.

LOL, I didn´t even recognised that ... that are files created by MacOS on volumes not using the HFS+ Mac filesystem when using the Finder and yes, they contain infos about icons and things ... You can remove them by doing "sudo dot_clean /Volumes/NAMEOFYOURVOLUME" and since they do NOT have a copy of the needed files inside (since they aren´t really LHA files) you cannot use them of course  :o

Great I missed that too. I believe he has already reflashed his entire SD by now.
MacOS is stupid. I remember when I used it, it filled every dir of my nas with rubbish files.

macOS is stupid?
Windows does that too!
I would dare to say Amiga OS is stupid. Those files in your NAS told macOS all interesting things about your files, the comments, the tags, creation date, access dates etc.
AmigaOS is stupid, you copy something to a different file system and protection bits and comments are gone.
I did that once, I copied some files to an usb stick went to windows and it was full of stupid .info files, but all the comments were gone and all the protection bits too, even when I went back to Amiga. That's very smart of AmigaOS! NOT!

Btw you can tell macOS to refrain from writing those files to a NAS or any other external drive, all together or selectively. Wow, how stupid!

And if it is a good NAS, with more than only windows support but macOS support to, you should even be able to tell it to hide those pesky files you wrote about.

Don't know what versions of windows you have been using, but it only puts "volume information" in root of a drive. MacOS dumps a "_MacOS" and "_Trash" in every directory. We are well aware of moving files across different OS's can cause issues. Hence anything Amiga related is done on Amiga side and either lha'ed or Zipped up. Nothing gets altered then and all protection bits are happy.
That was when I tried MacOS on my old nas's. Now using OMV6 (which creator must be an Amigian and it has lots of Amiga easter eggs, :)). Haven't used MacOS in atleast 8 years.

And I just tried this morning anyway - and it works! ;-)

Glad you got it working, was it naming of files in end?
