please help with save disk adf or advice for Secret of the Silver Blades

[rbucko9]

hi all...i'm trying to do a little nerding out by playing Secret of the Silver Blades Gold Box Rom but when i'm asked to insert a save disk it is not recognized. I'm running it on WinUAE. I've tried creating a save disk adf via WinUAE but no luck.

Can anyone please help? I have beasts need slaying!

Do you own a real Amiga? Some games don't like trying to create a save disk in WinUAE, so to get around this problem peopl create the same disk on a real Amiga for such problematic games, then convert the save disk to an ADF for use in the emulation.

If you don't have access to a real system, let me know and I will try and create a disk for you when I get time. Unless anyone else here has the game and could also give it a try.

I am not sure but vaguely I remember SotSB used disk 2 as savedisk.
if not, note the name of the disk asked for (ie "save disk" or "savedisk"), and do this :


hmm, ok guys when you make a save disk, the name under windows is irrelevant (ie poolsave.adf) you should create a blank floppy via winuae, and you should format it under workbench (in emulation) when format completes, you click on the disk and rename it poolsave (again, in workbench)(case insensitive).

Definitely worth trying Coze's method first. Hopw it works. If not let me know and I will have a go at creating a save disk on a real Amiga and converting it to an ADF for you.
