Hi!

On a real ST that is no problem, but sometimes it is quite some work to find all the files...

From an MSA or ST file, IÂ´d say itÂ´s impossible.

I don't se how this would be more difficult on an emulator. Isn't it just a matter of copying the files from the disk image onto another disk image or the virtual harddrive?

I can't say anything for emulators, but I have done this on a real ST...being ever in short supply of disks, with 99% of disk images on the net being in 800-820k format, I needed to conserve DSDD disks and I have extra SSDD (360k) disks, so I set up a ramdisk, transfered the games I wanted to seperate into an auto folder on the ramdisk, then copied the ramdisk to a 360k disk and viola! I have an auto-booting game on a single 360k disk.

Hello,

I think MSA Converter is the simplest way to do that as you can drag and drop files between disk images. For the the moment, you can't transfert a complete tree of directories but you can create directories at first and then transfert files.

You can find the program here:

(The website is only in French but the program is bilingual)
