Argh! Dammit, why can't I add a hardfile!
« on: February 28, 2005, 07:05:35 AM »
This is driving me nuts.  I'm currently using WinUAE 0.9.92 + a 3.1 ROM image + WB3.1 and I cannot add a freaking hardfile!  It's not like the problem I had before - the hardfile just ain't showing up.  There's no additional disk appearing when I start winuae.  Just the floppy images for the virtual floppy drives with ADF images.

What in the hell am I doing wrong?!
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Hardfiles can be difficult if you don't know what you are doing. I suggest you use the file system option instead, that way you don't need to remember the geomety of your drive if your UAE config goes kaput... and it also gives you an easy way to get files between UAE and Xindows :-D


See, that's the killer.  The last time I screwed around with WinUAE there was nothing to it.  Create a hardfile and then bang, away I go.  It showed up and there were no problems.  Now it won't.  And I'd prefer to use the hardfile.
