PC98 disk image toolsHere are some various tools for dealing with PC98 disk images. HistoryMany historical image sets of PC98 software store them in 'BKDSK' HDM format, but at the time only supported FDI images. A converter was needed to convert them.Most people used the closed-source (AFAIK) tool, which is excellent. Out of fear of the software one day becoming incompatible, I wanted to figure out for myself what the format differences were. Also, VFIC didn't run right in WINE, which meant having to use a real Windows machine every time I wanted to update or add images.Nowadays, the FlashFloppy firmware supports HDM images, so this code is primarily useful as a reference. The tools isfdi.pyHas a bunch of best-guess heuristics about whether or not a random image actually is in the FDI format.

I ran across a few that were just raw images renamed to.FDI, and so had nonsense headers or the wrong size.Useful so you don't waste too much time looking at an image that can't possibly be right. $ python3 isfdi.py Windows 95??????fdidummy = 0fddtype = 144header size = 4096fdd size = 1261568sector size = 1024sectors = 8surfaces = 2cylinders = 77Windows 95??????fdi: yes hdmtofdi.pyConverts raw HDM images to FDI by generating a fake FDI header for a '2HD'-size disk, and then appends the header and the pad bytes to the front of the HDM raw image.This worked with FlashFloppy. I don't think it will work if you have any other BKDSK size format (e.g.HD5 or.DD9).It also worked for me on a D88 image that was converted using 's d882mhlt utility, which makes me think that any raw (i.e.

Uncompressed) Mahalito image will work.Patches very welcome.

I've never tried to run a CD based game on a PC98 emulator, so I may not be exactly precise on this, but to mount the image, you need to start up alcohol (I use daemon, so I may be wrong again on this) And find an option to mount an image to a virtual drive. Once the image is mounted, you need to configure the emulator to recognize the drive letter of the virtual drive that you're using. You should be able to follow the emulation guide from there.Did you unzip the.rar files?Life and Death hang in perfect balance.I'm only here to tip the scales.Sun Oct 05, 2008 12:24 pm. Go get 7-zip And you should be able to get the files out. 7zip is free, and makes winzip look absolutely useless in comparison.As for the mounting software, go get daemon tools. It's free, and you don't get stuck with a trial version.There's always a way around it, too. So where you got the file should have a password listed somewhere.

Okay, now I just created a folder called '98poln' that contains the following contents: The 'Policenauts' sub folder, which contains a CD sub-folder that includes a.bin file and a.cue file. Both of them are VLC Media files, and contain 555,852 kb, and 1 kb respectively. Also included in the 'Policenauts' sub folder is a system.fdi file, a Policenauts.hdi file, as well as two user FDI files for T-98 Next and Anex respectively, and a 485 x 320 GIF file.Now do I have everything that I should have from extracting the rars?Sun Oct 05, 2008 3:30 pm. All right, now that I got that out of the way, all I have to do now is mount the CD image with my virtual CD software.

The only problem, however, is that when I tried to download Daemontools (the one that you suggested) onto my desktop, I've got an error message telling me that my OS doesn't support it, and that the ones that do are Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP x86/X64 SP2, Windows 2003 x86/x64, and Windows Vista x86/x84.The version that I've unsuccessfully tried to download was the most version of Daemon Tools Lite, which was released on July 2008. I hope there's still a way around this.Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:19 pm. I actually managed to work my way around that.How? I downloaded 'Old L.A. 2040', as well as 'Policenauts End Theme' off of YouTube, and saved them onto my desktop via RealPlayer files.From now on, whenever the intro and ending to the game come up, I just cue up the respective RealPlayer files to those segments, and play them, so that I can make it seem like I'm watching the intro and the ending to the game on a real PC-9821 machine, complete with the actual music for both segments.And BTW, when I have the time, I'll be sure to play through the PC-98 game in its entirety.

And when I do, I'll be sure to share my thoughts on it. It will officially be the first version of the game that I've ever officially played through, as well as the first time I've ever played the game, and I couldn't be any happier on that.Tue Oct 07, 2008 1:34 pm.
