Floppy emulator (SD card) Emudrive

Hi all, I've been playing quite a bit with various floppy emulators, and have turned my attention to EMUDRIVE from http://www.floppydrive.eu Out of the box I couldn't get it to work, whatever I did and whatever .IMA drive image files I tried (they have a whole suite) I just couldn't get it to work. ...

Re: Floppy emulator (SD card)

I suspect you need to get familiar with some scripting language! I think qltools -w blah -w blah -w blah works, but not qltools -w * G Ok, here's a Windows batch file that will copy all files in a specific folder to a specific image file. The batch file must reside in same folder as qltools.exe and...

Re: Floppy emulator (SD card)

Hi,

Quick question......is there a wildcard for qltools.....I can't see one.

qltools images\QLA.HFE -w files\C_BAS

Would like to write a batch/folder full of files to an image instead of singles per above.

Ian.

The source probably now only compiles with gcc and mingw32 but I can live with that!

If the update to the Windows app is a long way off then I may create a wrapper for this DOS version. Should be doable.

I'm using Win7(64) but I also tried on an old WinXP laptop and same results, can't read the image. Only the org version of qltools works (in that respect).

Your DLL hasn't changed has it?

Re: Floppy emulator (SD card)

Same problem, could not open image.
Tried a different HFE same problem.
Tried this new HFE with original qltools and it does read the file ok.

Re: Floppy emulator (SD card)

I renamed the exe's this time so could run one after another:- C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\qfe>qltoolsorg QLA.HFE -d -w C_BAS -d Checking QLA.HFE File loader found : HXC_HFE (SD Card HxCFE HFE file Loader)...

Re: Floppy emulator (SD card)

Error opening the image. I switched back to the original just to check and definitely this new one has an issue.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\qfe>qltools QLA.HFE -d -w C_BAS -d
could not open image: No error
error : image file not opened
Usage: qltools dev -[options] [filename].................snip
