So what would HostFS::HostFS access, the floppy drive?

No, HostFS is a virtual file system on to the emulator host machine... the real machine you're running the emulator on. The contents of the "hostfs" folder next to Arculator.exe

I'm a bit confused why you started talking about HostFS though, because the thread started off talking about a real RiscPC :)

Code: Select all

SAVE
Insert save game disc

Save file
hostfs::0.$.saves.Acheton
I was asking about HostFS because sirbod suggested it (and I don't understand what it is). I am running on a real RiscPC so I guess it was a red herring.
