 Hi CraigAnderson !

Almost all good games can be found in the HDD V4 image. Almost each game which was installed to HDD requires a custom made !Start.bat file and sometimes there are nasty protections. It can get very messy or, if in luck, very easy. For more info please check out the following link.

i was hoping i could make single .hds or .hdf versions of current multiple disk .dim/.xdf games
with each individual game being its own .hdf or .hds file
is that possible?
thanks

 Hi CraigAnderson !

We already discussed this in the following thread. Please read post #3

newbie question

If this is too messy, please provide a list of the games which you want and I will make an auto-boot HDS file for each one of them.

 Hi CraigAnderson !

That is correct. There are games with very long intro which can not be skipped. In such cases !Game.bat starts the game directly as opposed to !Start.bat which launches the game in its full glory.
