Hi there,

could you provide us more info? Some links might be nice too

Hmm okay.

So I would guess that this calls steem and tells it to mount a disk image (didn't download it or anything, I'm at work ). It's true what you say though, there's absolutely no disk swapping with our fixes.

So what I would obviously do is copy each fix on a disk image of its own, then point the frontend to it. Of course some fixes simply don't fit on a single disk, so what you can do is use TOS 2.06, which can handle 1.44mb disk images (our fixes are tested on 2.06 so you should be ok).

Yes your right, that is what i'm attempting to do  . I'll try your suggestion (makes sense) - Would I put the files in a 'Auto' folder for it to boot or is it better to let it go to desktop ?

Thanks for all your guidance you have been really helpful now I can build now have cool ST games in LusSpace with no disk swapping  .

Again many thanks.

*I have done this procedure with 1943 and works fine will try it with other games over the next couple of days and will give you an update in around 2 weeks time as I go on holiday on Saturday.

Just create a custom disk image from the steem disk menu and make it 80 tracks, 18 sectors and 2 sides. Voila! It's a valid TOS disk without the need to format

Don't mention it

Hi there,

I had another idea just now: Is it possible to set up a hard drive on steem, then copy all the games in that partition? Then you could make different msa images that contain a small program to load a patch.

For example, the following gfa program if placed on the auto folder of a disk will load a patch:

RESERVE 10
CHDRIVE "C"
CHDIR "\XENON2"
~EXEC(0,"XENON2.TOS","","") 

You can change the path and filename in quotes to load different games. The only caveat is that I can't remember how to change directory in GFA. Anyone can help? [EDIT]Never mind, I remembered (Thanks SSB!)

Then you won't have to worry about disk sizes (I'm afraid that the 1.44mb limit is it) and TOS images (I think that TOS > 2.06 support 1.44mb images).
