|    Making a .d71 out of two .d64 images    |

      From: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com              Dear all,              I'd like to play Ultima V in VICE. This game came on four double-sided       disks, which entailed a lot of disk-swapping. But if memory serves, the       C128 version of the game supported up to two drives, and if the drives       were 1571s, the game would automatically read the correct side of the       disk for you. So with two 1571s, instead of one 1541, you could cut the       number of disk swaps by factor of 4.              The problem is that the only disk images of the game I have are .d64       images of the eight individual sides. Is there any way of combining two       .d64 images into a single .d71 image? Or is my only option to buy a       floppy drive capable of reading double-sided disks and the requisite       imaging software, and then manually re-image all the physical disks?              Regards,       Tristan              --       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-        Tristan Miller       Free Software developer, ferret herder, logologist        https://logological.org/       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
