Hello to everyone.
thanks for this beautiful X68000 forum is simply awesome.
I have a noob or prof question....
for start I'll say to you that I'm able to run the emulator
with HD image and floppy I have also played many fantastics games.
my problem is that
I have downloaded some HDD file from this fantastic website ftp as you all know they are in LZH format..
1) I can't uncompress it even with winrar or 7zip :( probably i have to uncompress them via X68000 emulator with LZH tool ?
if yes what i need ? and what i have to do ?
2) one time that image is uncompressed how I can play it in emulator ?
please can someone make some really easy to0 understand example in what I have to do for solve this problem ?
I have downloaded OlteusII_HDD.lhz and i'd like to play it on emulator :).

Thank You for your help

Siggy.

 Hi Siggy12 !

Welcome to our forum !

I'll try to answer your both questions in one shot. Unfortunately the files with LZH extension are not HDD images but ordinary archived files. You can try to extract them with latest WinRar. It will throw an error but the files should unarchive fine. You will have to download X68000.zip or X68000v2.zip HDD image. Then you can use DiskExplorer to import the unarchived files into the image file. There should be a readme.txt file in the LZH archive with instruction in which directory to import.

Check out this article for more info:
