Hi all.
I have created 4 dsk (hdd images of 33mb each) with all my music compilation to use with emulators, so you can easily listen to them on your phone, tablet, etc…

Hi:
Thanks for sharing.
Forgive my ignorance, I have tried to run the dsk files in openmsx using openmsx -machine Panasonic_FS-A1ST BGM.dsk and it boots saying boot error.
I think that the problem is the size of disk file and I should use an extension in openmsx to emulate the hard drive. Do you know how could I do it?

How to use it on a real hardware?

I've tried to load it using a Carnivore and sofarun and sofarun has divided the 33Mb in blocks of 720Kb and tried to run disk number 1. It hasn't run.

I've done a diskmanipulator dir hda in the previous openMSX command to list the files in the disk. Unfortunately, when I've tried to export it to my host hard drive usign diskmanipulator export hda /home/mydirectory it has complained with the error no such sector.

My idea was to export the files in your hard drive and group them in groups of 720Kb that can be run using sofarun or other programs to run dsk files.

Maybe there is also a way for Carnivore to run large dsk files as a hard drive, but I don't know it.

Assuming that the harddisk image has a partition table, export a partition by specifying it. So not export hda but export hda1.

Thanks Manuel, but no luck. Executing diskmanipulator export hda1 /home/mydirectory reports (No (or invalid) partition table.

I've discovered that pressing ESC when you are running the above openmsx command, you go to MSX-DOS, maybe you could run openmsx with an empty floppy disk inside turbo-R and then save there the COM, BAT and SYS files and the songs that you would like to listen in the real hardware.

That would result in the same thing indeed.
