Struggling with ADFFS/Pi2/RO5.23
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:24 pm
I'm hoping this is a quick question... I bumped into you at the Risc OS London show with some Acorn woes. I've been trying to get some of my games, imaged and working on VirtualAcorn, on to the Pi running Risc OS 5.23 with the ePIc card I picked up at the show.
I have upgraded the OS to the nightly beta build, and ADFFS works great for the games available to download here.
However I'm struggling with two adf images that I have of Galactic Dan and Small. They are both listed as compatible, and work on Virtual Acorn, however they both refuse to run on the Pi2 with ADFFS.
I tried mounting the images, then running the game specific !Obey file for it, but Small says "Memory cannot be moved" and Galactic Dan (with the !Obey file) displays the title screen followed by an Abort on Internal data transfer error.
Is there a guide to using your own existing adf's, or what am I doing wrong? I presume, if I had a real RiscPC, ADFFS could produce the correct image from the original disk, and I'd not have any issue. Is the issue that these adf's are not produced by ADFFS? I'm hoping I can aquire a real RiscPC, use my original disks again, and get this going.
I did buy the PC card from the charity stand... I just lack the rest of a RiscPC!
Thanks;
Graeme
