Hardware / Issue when duplicating date fr...
Last post by Patrick_d - 28-05-2025, 17:54:28Hello,
I have got a Falcon with a 3.5" 350 Mb hard disk drive inside, and the sound made by the drive indicates that his end of life will be very close....
So, I have tried to "clone" the HDD to a Compact flash Card with drive imaging without any results. I can extract the files from my hdd (and able to read them), I can make an image file, but when I try to write the image to the CF, the Falcon did not see it...
I have made a lot of test on two CF card one 512 Mb, and one 4 Gb (format card, write a 'zero' image on it, delete "partition" swap L/H, etc.) but all are Unsuccessful...
If you have any idea, tell me!!

Really is opening up the Atari ST world to me - without having to trudge through all those bad images. Even better with all the quality of life and compatibility fixes. Makes me even more excited my hardware upgrades and fixes are all done!
I think that will really help keep the platform alive, especially for the younger folks that never had to deal with such issues during the original product run of these old machines.
I couldn't agree more. Thank goodness for all the game adaptations!

Last post by Petari - 15-05-2025, 10:45:10Did HD adapt of less known early (1986) Psygnosis game/sport simulation Arena . Graphic is really nice.
But it has only keyboard control when playing sport event. So, I'm thinking to add joystick support .
That will make it better playable, and that was said in some reviews too.

Some needed more search for flawless images - I see more and more bad floppy images, which were not tested at all or well. And there are some with no good image online. Mostly freeware games.
