How to make working .HFE disk images for EPS16+?
hello folks!
just got me a EPS 16+ last week. it came with a Lotharek drive. There where all kinds of cool sounds and effects in .HFE format on the SD... ok well now i found a good batch of samples and effects that are not on the card yet, and they are in .EFE format. i have tried all kinds of exports and EFE2HFE programs ect. i get a working .HFE image that the EPS16 reads, but all the .HFE images i try to make are empty for some reason.
any step by step instructions how to make working .HFE files out of the .EFE files i have?
the HxC emulator has the latest OS. My PC does not have a floppy drive.
thanks!

Re: How to make working .HFE disk images for EPS16+?
yes i have. like i described earlier, that one creates working .HFE images that the EPS16+ reads,
but it reads them as empty discs. "no instruments" "no effects" ect.
the filesize is also a bit different to the files that work.
that converter creates files that are 1961 kb, when the fully working ones are 2001 kb
oh, but the the demofiles that where in the output folder do work.

Re: How to make working .HFE disk images for EPS16+?
Need more logs...crc wrote:i would really love to get this working!
But i think that it will be quicker if i do the conversion for you...
Just make a zip of all files to be converted, and add a link to it here.

Re: How to make working .HFE disk images for EPS16+?
thanks jeff.
tried out the files, but the problem remains the same.
my EPS16+ reads the .HFE files, but all the files are empty.
"No Instruments" "No Effect Files"

TOPPAZ.hfe, SR LOCUTOR.hfe, are also empty?
Re: How to make working .HFE disk images for EPS16+?
yes actually those files work. how do those two differ from the rest?

Will check what is going on with the non working ones...
