Hi,
After much faffing around, I've finally got my PC-Amiga parallel connection working (if I use the 'normal' pc2amiga.exe, I get loads of packet errors, but if I use the debug version, it all works perfectly?!?).
Anywho, I've got hold of some HDF games, and I tried copying them across and using XFS to mount them, but couldn't figure out how to do it (is it me, or are the help guides for Amiga software written with the assumption that the end-user knows the Amiga inside-out?!).
So, I ended up using an app on my PC (adfview) to copy the contents of a HDF file into a folder.
After copying the whole folder to my Amiga, I discovered that some games don't have an icon. You need to "View -> All files" then find the file that runs the game (this also means that double-clicking the icon brings up the 'Execute Command' box - most annoying). Are icons contained in .info files?
If someone could explain how to create icons, or just explain how to use XFS, it'd be realy helpful.
(oh, another thing I noticed is that quite a few of the HDF games I've got require some fastRAM (0.5Mb upwards). Is this a common requirement of HD installed games?)
And one last thing, if I download a few HDF files from tomtoms, do I need WHDload to use them, or are they already setup/modified?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
