Hello
What is the sequence to launch Genocide 2 ?

Solution

Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 4)(System).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 4)(Data 1).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 4)(Data 2 ).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 4 of 4)(Data 3).dim

renamed

Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 4)(System).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 4)(Data A).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 4)(Data B).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 4 of 4)(Data C).dim

FDD0 -> SYSTEM
FDD1 -> Data A-> game start
And remplace Data A To Data B

I think file hdf doesn't work on raspberry but I Think in recalbox x86_x64 may be
because hdf file contains autoexec.bat or command.x for windows computer.

@rtype
pourquoi le format hdf ne fonctionne pas sur raspberry ? est ce un bug ?

[azvarel]

@acris I believe it is more emulator bug, I have xbox classic emulator that works perfectly hdf files.

@azvarel

i read theses lines :

@rtype writed : be sure your hdf is in SASI format, SCSI one are not supported with this core. Also be sure (hit F12) that you don"t have some fdd set , if yes unset same and reset using the gui.
you can use diskexplorer to open it and see if they are Human68k HDD or SCSI. http://www.gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:x680004

[azvarel]

I have read and reread the page, I already moved on diskexplorer, I can edit files inside the hdf, but I can not see if it is SCSI or HDD

@rtype we need your help

you need to create playlist file with name :

Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami).m3u

with inside 2 lines :

Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 1 of 2).dim
Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 2 of 2).dim

Hi ! I did this but I've got a black screen after launching the game and nothing happens. When I launch the menu, I see that the first disk is on FDD0 and the second one is on FDD1 (which I think is correct).

Before doing this and launching the first disk, I had a message in Japanese to choose : 1. X68000 2.(something else) 3.(something else)
When I chose 1, nothing happened (same for 2 or 3). I thought that was due to the missing second disk and that is why I tried the m3u thing. Now I don't even get the message.

Someone managed to make Akumajou work ? Thanks for your help !

@azvarel
I don't know too, may be when human HDD selected ?
I tried in xm6 emulator on my computer and few game worked with SASI but Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami).hdf didn't.

Edit :
Launch Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami).hdf with xm6 it's ok
tape with keyboard :

dir
cd drac
adra

I will try soon on raspberry

edit : on rpi2, required keyboard and you need to use dos command line.

@chris256
your game works with dim format only ?
Akumajou Dracula only 2 files.
can you post your m3u file and name file dim like me ?

@azvarel

Hello

/!\ Attention pour les jeux hdf assurez vous que FDD0 ET FDD1 soient vides .
Pour cela, lancer n importe quel jeu dim, puis aller dans le menu px68k(L2) puis dans FFD0 FFD1 choisir eject puis resortir du menu(l2) et sortir de retoarch (hotkey+start)

J'ai quelques jeux en format hdf contenant un dossier Games qui incluent différents jeux dans ce fichier.
Pour naviguer , la présence d'un clavier est obligatoire. La navigation à la manette N'est PAS possible.

*/!\ Attention le chargement peut être long pour ce format hdf /!*

Vous pouvez créer ce type de support hdf pour le multidisc en suivant ce tutoriel :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXNh3sG65Xo&t=1082s

I have some games in hdf format Content in a file.
To navigate, the presence of a keyboard required
navigation on the controller is impossible

To make theses hdf file , look this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXNh3sG65Xo&t=1082s

How to launch :
Open GAMES Folder :

Choose a game (enter keyboard)

Choose !Start.bat or !NoIntroStart.bat

Launch the game
