PC-98 HDI format support (not HDM)

windship opened this issue 6 months ago · 7 comments

There's lots of HDI format of PC-98 HDD image because of Anex86 emulator. I think you can find them easily from internet.
I couldn't find any converter or information about this. FlashFloppy can access HDM format but no way about HDI.

Can you add HDI format support for next update of FlashFloppy?

Hello, any progress?

Last I checked, HDI is for hard disk images, not floppies.

Yes that is true, and FDI images are already supported. FlashFloppy cannot support HDD images so HDI cannot be supported.

Hmm but HDM is hard disk image format also and FF support it right?

No FF is a floppy emulator with a 34-pin floppy header. It physically cannot emulate a hard drive because they have a different physical and electrical interface.
