Megadisk Interceptor

Post by Otrebor »

Hi

I have a old device (megadisk) that works coupled to my Genesis console.
With it i can play games loaded from floppy disks.
Using HxC v2.1.6.0 i did a disk dump and then created a 'floppy dump image.vtr' and it works fine with the floppy emulator :D

Now i wrote i simple program to join smd files and create images compatible with megadisk format.

My problem is that all the time that i need create an image to floppy disk drive emulator, first i need pass my image to disk, and then, do a disk dump again...

How can do HxC program recognize my image using a xml format (or other mode). Sorry for my question...
Thank's

Just to explain how i do:

> 'Floppy disk dump'
> 'Export to XML file'

Then, with an different megadisk image (raw image)

> 'Load Raw image'
> In 'Predefined Disk Layout' i choose 'XML disk layout' (load from the disk dump saved)
> 'Load RAW file' (load my new megadisk image)
> 'Export' to .vtr file

But the file converted to floppy emulator is the first one from the disk dump, not the new one!

Otrebor,

I have the Interceptor Megadisk & Superdisk.

I can't use the floppy emulator with them, except to put the game on a standard 1.44mb disk as a file. The problem is the unknown format, that you have figured-out.

I need to know, what you have learned, and to ask you to make an identical program like IMD v1.4 for the super nintendo interceptor. (ISC v1.4 ?)

I made the Youtube video, you commented on years ago. I got the Interceptor Specify Card (256k Save Cartridge), and I've learned how to get the save files onto the PC for the Superdisk, using the ISC DOS program, but not the Megadisk.

Here is the package with the megadisk tools, included is MDI V1.4 and the required driver (fdRAW) for windows, just for those who need it.

Please note that the packages are similar, but different enough, that you should download both for completeness. (ISC Tools & IMC Tools)
