Re: SD-Snatcher English, Starcrack version on Funet....
Hello, Uploaded the 3 disks (XSA-files) to Funet a few minutes ago... Now you have to wait till Tristan puts them on-line... They are online now, in /pub/msx/games/msx2/konami.

Re: SD-Snatcher by StarCracks
Hello, Hola, Tsk - who says you don't have an ftp program? Every winshit clone comes with an ftp client! Open a command(DOS) window: Didn't know that this was possible... :-) Thanks for the help... No problem. (Hey Manuel, can't you put this in the FAQ?) had some troubles wuth the login but I used as username anonymous and as password my email-address (that was what I could remember from the time I used WS-FTP) That's the nicest/friendliest/preferred option, yes. Most ftp servers accept 'ftp' as an alias for 'anonymous', too and only check whether there's an @-sign and some dots in the password to have it accepted as a 'valid' e-mail address.

Re: D2F
] Hi ] ] I was wondering if it is possible to make a XSA image of a disk game ] with D2F (for MSX) and only one FDD (turboR computers only have one). ] Yes, it is. Specify for example A: as input drive and B:bladiebla as output file Then the MSX turbo R will start reading from drive A. And after a while it will say: please insert disk for drive B: Then, you can insert your output disk. The turbo R will start writing to it. And after a while, it will say: please insert disk for drive A: Then you insert your input disk again. And so on. This 'Please insert disk for drive A' or 'Please insert disk for drive B' is a standard feature for the disk-rom and works for every program on machines with only one physical diskdrive.

Disk splitting
I think there was a util that splits fMSX-DOS concatenated disk image into independent disk image files, but I forgot the download site. Can anyone tell me quick MS-DOS commandline to split; - A 1440KB file into two 720KB files - A 2160 KB file into three 720KB files ?
