ADF file to big to fit on a disk
« on: October 09, 2007, 10:16:48 AM »
Morning all,

Digging through my old amiga disks I found a game I used to love and want to play again - Darkseed.

Unfortunately disk 2 seems to be corrupt. I have managed to obtain the ADF file of disk two and want to convert it to a solid amiga disk so I can play.

Unfortunately even after LHAing the image file it is still bigger than 720K and thus won't fit onto a disk for me to get onto my Amiga using CrossDOS.

Any ideas? Is there a program like LHA (that has an Amiga and a PC version) that I can use to split the file in two and re-join at the amiga end?

Any suggestions very welcome...

Cheers...

I actually tried that but there is some kind of graphical problem with the game under WinUAE it misses every other scan line out - have tried playing with the graphics settings to no avail.

Disk swapping won't be an issue - the game supports install to HDD and my 1200 has a large HDD :)

Hi all thanks for your help. I found another tool on Aminet that does the splitting also:
