Initially I had put it into the Program Files (x86) folder, and I thought that maybe this might be the cause of some problems as you need administrator privileges to write into that folder. However, moving it elsewhere doesn't seem to have helped much.
The emulator runs, and can run most programs successfully, especially from floppy disc. The problems I have relate to hard disc images mainly. In no particular order:
- If I attach a hard disc image to drive 4, it works. However if I attach another known good image (or the same image) to drive 5, it doesn't work - I get disc error 22.
- The reason why I have been trying to mount two hard disc images related to problems I was having getting applications properly filetyped etc within HostFS. I thought (perhaps wrongly) that you need to have a "proper" Risc OS hard disc image - so I was trying to create a large blank image and then copy files across from a working 19MB image that I have. However I have not had any success with creating blank images and formatting them - I tried various methods including creating images on Disc Image Manager.
- The self-extracting version of Sparkplug runs but crashes out with this error:
- My list of machines has been joined by a phantom one called ".cfg":
So you want to be able to specify larger physical drives for it to chew on.
