HDmenu game launcher

@Darklord from the YouTube clip I saw it did not use the Menu

I've been converting my ACSI2SD image that is normally plugged into my STFM, and generally had a lot of success apart from editing the .CSV which is causing my RSI to flair up

I've been using the Screenshot packs, which is really nice.

Glad you are finding the program useful. Here is a new screenshot pack for the new year. This one has 2497 images.

More importantly, the new pack is carefully curated to ensure color 0 in each image is black. This means no more disco flashing of the background color when scrolling through the list. I think it looks more polished and is certainly easier on the eyes.

@TheNameOfTheGame a few times when I have Reset the STFM via Reset Button it says .CSV is empty? But a Power off/on and it works.
I have been trying on a physical STFM upgraded to TOS 1.04 and 2.5mb.
I have not yet tried it on MiST/MiSTer FPGA to see if the issue follows, or it is more likely my Atari ST!

Ok, when you say Reset Button are you using the physical power button or the F10/Shift-F10 keys? Are you resetting in-game or from the menu itself?

Also what are the best Free Hard Drive Drivers to use and can I upgrade the ones already on my SD card? It is the 0.9 from Putnik at the moment.

Free? Not sure. I use HDDriver myself but have reports that AHDI works as well with the newer versions. I always strive to ensure maximum compatibility.

I have not yet looked at how those Game Save States work in practice, just been checking the .CSV works across Hard Drive partitions.

Thanks

Np, save states are a very cool feature, once you get everything set up I hope you find them useful. Btw, here is a new CSV file that is pretty much up-to-date with HAGA series releases excluding mono resolution games.

Hi,

I was using the physical Reset button on my STFM, not power button. Some games gave Bombs so needed to Reset.

Sorry I am not a big Atari ST user:
If I put my ACSI2SD Micro SD card into Windows I can access all the Partitions/Files and I can work a lot quicker.
But the MiST/MiSTer FPGA Harddrive images are just .hd / .img for example.
Can I mount those images in Windows to see the Partitions/Files?

Also if I create an Image of my ACSI2SD card using Win32Imager it gives either 2 or 4 bombs on the MiST FPGA, so I can't use the same image between multiple devices.
Is there something else I need to do to convert the ACSI2SD image to a compatible .hd / .img?

Thanks also for the updated screenshots/.csv

Ah ok, most likely the game has disturbed the disk driver in memory in that case so yes, the cold boot would be necessary. Not an issue with HDmenu there.

Apologies, but not a Windows or MiST user so can't speak to either of those questions per se. But, a quick search shows that maybe Windows can mount images natively. Not sure if the images are writeable this way. Check out this link in the Windows section: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/backu ... unter.html

Any MiST users here that can help out as far as converting/booting the image?
