I have been trying to add extra characters and stages to the game "SFXVI" from the files I acquired here, but have been unable to do so. Is it possible to take these files and somehow turn it into an .hdf file? If not can someone lend me some knowledge on how to go about solving this?

Edit: Solved.

Well then, here's the rundown.  ;)

Part 1
A) First you need the actual base game which is available for download on this page; http://old.sailorvgame.org/mg/x68000/sfxvi.htm

B) The emulator and instructions on how to properly set it up with games are available on this page; http://old.sailorvgame.org/mg/x68000/

C) Disk Explorer is needed and is available for download here; http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013937/editdisk/index_e.html

D) The characters and stages are available here; http://nfggames.com/X68000/Mirrors/x68pub/x68data/GAME/SFXVI/

Part 2
A) Get the emulator up and running and make sure the game works fine.

B) Run DiskExplorer, and choose to open the game with it. Go inside the SFXVI directory of the game and export the SFXVI.LST file to where you desire.

C) Open up the exported SFXVI.LST file with Notepad and enter the name(folder name) of the characters and stages you wish the add. Only 10 Characters fit under each "%STORY #" line and must be paired with a stage.

D) Save the file and go back into DiskExplorer. Overwrite the SFXVI.LST within the root directory with the modified SFXVI.LST you just saved. This is essentially the game's "select.def"

F) Go into CHAR and/or STAGE directories then drag and drop the character and stage folders into them according. When you're done close out DiskExplorer.

G) Run the game and you should now be able to see the characters and stages you added.
