Still got all my original games boxed and waiting to be played, of course the problem is that I can't use them while they sit on floppy disks.
So basically, what do I need to get them onto my PC so I can then transfer them onto my PSP?
Any help would be appreciated.
Well what you need is some special programs or something (I´m not realy sure)
Check this site... might give you some clues... http://www.amigaforever.com/kb/3-118.html
...but the easiest way is of course to simply search for ADF-files (Amiga Disk Files) on the net.
(Of course... anything personaly done can´t be "saved" by this way)
Thanks for the info.
there's not much point in ADFing original disks, since nything with a copy protection simply wont work.
my favourite ADF site is down at the moment, but i'd recommend downloding the entire ADF TOSEC off bittorrent or E-Donkey, since this way you'll more than likely find every game you ever want!
unless of courseyou happen to have "Horace Takes A Trip" (PD Game) .... in which case, it needs ADFing!

Yowzers I have just tried to download the adf tosec file off Overnet and BitTorrent and it is 3.8 Gigs. There are other ones around the 300-400 meg mark. However nothing is happening and I fear it will never download. Is there any recommended way of getting hold of this archive of games. If anyone knows how I can get hold of Captive (captive.adf) listed as a compatible game on PSP I would really be grateful. My first post, great site!
i'd really recommend waiting, and getting all 4.5 gigs worth.... (that how big mine was!) but you should be able to find them in packs labelled by letter... "A" "B-C" "D-E" etc etc which will be a bit smaller.... at least on overnet anyway. Bittorrent will be better for speed however. I only had a 512k connection when i downloaded them all, but it was worth the wait!
planetemu.net had the contents of the TOSEC up for download as individual games, but at the moment they are moving host i think, so downloads arent working. i'll see if i can dig out captive at some point (it's not on my PC)

Thank you, I will continue to try and download the TOSEC file. For Captive FOL has shown me the way to the adf file and I currently have it running on the PSP and am currently trying to work out a control scheme that makes it playable.

Have you try adfread?
adfread 1.0 (31.03.2006)
========================
Adfread will allow you to create ADF floppy disk images from regular
Amiga disks using standard PC hardware. It uses same method as Disk2FDI
but is compatible with Windows 2000 and newer.
Requirements:
- Windows 2000/XP/2003
- BIOS support for 2 floppy drives
- 2 non-USB floppy drives installed on the same cable
- Regular format Amiga disks without any copy-protection
- A normal PC-formatted 1.44M floppy
[Download : http://www.winuae.net/files/adfread-1.0.zip ]
Adf sites are good but this proggy is needed for our save disks :). you only need 2 floppy disk drives, your amiga disk and 1 pc disk
Hmm, pretty sure I have a 2nd floppy drive sitting somewhere, will have to dig it out and give the proggy a try.
class i'll give this a go tonight so i can get my champ manager italia save games :-D got plenty of floppy disk drives lying around.
2 pc disk drives
1 3.5" floppy disk
and 1 amiga disk
?

yes but remember that the 2 floppy rives must be on the same cable
which cable will i need for that? any links (uk)?
Usual bog standard floppy cable with the twist in it, should have two connections on it to accomodate two floppy drives.
i've put my 2nd floppy drive in on the same cable as my other floppy drive but it's only showing 1 of the drives (:a) whem i go into explorer. why is the 2nd one not showing??
neats switching on in your PC's bios settings? are there jumpers to arrange so the two dont try and sit in the same place?
just guessing here... havent tried it myself.
