![]() ![]() I will try to test with the original reader to check if the problem also exists with it: perhaps it comes from the Pippin.You can return most new, unopened items fulfilled by Amazon AU within 30 days of receipt of delivery for a replacement or full refund of the price you paid for the item if you change your mind - see About Replacements and About Refunds. Afterwards, the adapter was designed with the purpose of using the Floppy Emu for its practical skills, then a few erratic operations with a physical drive is not a concern. However, with an « HD » disk formatted properly in HFS, the adapter works. I have absolutely no idea of the source of this problem. I checked on a recent Mac and in both cases, the floppies seem to be formatted in classic HFS, with no visible differences. More precisely, some are readable but marked read-only by Mac OS (and Pippin games) while others allow to write without any problem. Then, oddly enough, not all floppy disks are working. First, we had to find a compatible reader in my lab, between the 800 kB drive and the defective drive. I had a little more trouble with a real floppy drive. The Pippin can save data on them to retrieve them on a modern device, but it is not possible to directly write on the disk images. Beware, macOS Sierra does not write anymore on the HFS for the moment and the images of the disks are to be read only since a recent Mac. If you are on macOS Sierra, I advise you to download empty images and use that of 1.44 MB. ![]() With Prince of Persia, on the other hand, it works: Pease sees the game, it is possible to launch it, to play (with an ADB keyboard), etc. I first tried it with Indiana Jones 3, but could not run it: Pease only displays 256 colors, the game requires 16 to the maximum. By copying a program (or game) on a floppy disk, it becomes possible to launch it from the Pippin through Pease. A kind of alternative to the Finder for the console, with an interface capable of listing software. Pease, which I already mentioned, is a software for Pippin that allows to launch other softwares. In the other games, I did not notice any access, but I tested pretty fast and I do not have all the games. Potato has created a folder on the floppy disk. ![]() Dazzeloids obviously accesses (well, audibly) but I do not understand anything about this game and a game on Mr. Of course, some games do not take advantage of the floppy drive. ![]()
