Once you've got Workbench loaded and have double clicked on the AExlorer program you don't need to touch the Amiga again except to change disks. I was then able to put a disk in the Amiga DF0 drive and initiate a format from the PC side. I connected my PC to my Amiga 1200 using a null modem cable, transferred the Amiga Explorer server software to the Amiga using CrossDOS and executed it from there. I really should stop missing out crucial details. Ooh eck, it looks like I've caused a bit of confusion here, sorry. Crazy Cars III, for example, is perfectly AmigaDOS compliant (I remember installing it by hand to the HD back then, assign here, assign there), and it never boots onto Workbench when you run it. Not all games in AmigaDOS format boot onto the Workbench, that's a misunderstanding. It will work just fine.Īlso, to be true, I never found a damn of a difference in changing the filesystem to FastFileSystem, or to allow cacheing :P If there ARE differences, you can utilize them ONLY with AmigaDOS-format game disks. So those options you set before, mean pish to the game you unpacked.Īs a matter of fact, you NEED NOT to format disks before unpacking ADFs onto them. It doesnt give a damn if you formatted it in PC, Atari, or BBC Micro format. What you have done, completely overwrites the format you did before. Then, you unpack an ADF onto this disk, using AE. Now it's in AmigaDOS format, with Caching, fastfilesystem, whatever you want. As a test run I transferred Turrican to a disk I formatted using the extra options and it booted fine.
