Converting TI99/4a disks to SCP to write to physical floppy

Post by telengard »

I believe I'm having issues using the HxC software or (most likely) not using it correctly.

I'm trying to convert images to SCP so I can write them to a physical floppy disk and use them.

I can image a TI99/4a disk with my SCP and then re-write it back and it works fine.

With the HxC software I've tried importing a .dsk (which if I understand correctly is a v9t9 image) and when I convert that to a scp flux image, it writes fine, but doesn't work on the actual TI. I've also tried renaming the .dsk to .v9t9 as renaming .dsk works for me with Apple II images (.dsk -> .do).

Is there something special I have to do with these files to export them correctly as SCP? I haven't tried exporting and trying with my HxC yet.

This process works fine with my Apple ][ images, and I'm also haven't had any success with Tandy Coco disk images, same issue as the TI99/4a images.

Any ideas would be very appreciated, thanks

Hi, thanks for the new version.

I seem to get the same behavior w/ this beta. Not sure if it will help, but I placed the disk image I imported and what was exported here. I wasn't sure if the .dsk was a v9t9 or a pc99 type so I tried importing and exporting the same .dsk as both.

Anything else I can try or provide to help debug?
