Eternal Dagger problem....from a total noob

Totalnoob · Post by **Totalnoob** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 10:37 am

I have the Eternal Dagger and the appropriate Emulator...the problem is, I cant get the game to go past its 'create game disk' phase.

I realise I am a total noob and dont understand much about this stuff, but could someone direct me the right way on how to get Eternal Dagger to work?

Thanks in Advance.

Since no one has answered me thus far I will try to elaborate on my problem in the hopes someone can help me, appreciation for anyone who can.

Eternal Dagger starts fine, but in order to play it, you must create virtual game disks, "Disk 1-4" as its named, and it needs to read off the four Eternal Dagger virtual disks in order to make these copies.

The problem seems to be that it cannot write to wherever it needs to write to so it can make said "Disk 1-4".

Can anyone give me some techincal help on doing this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Does the game require a blank disk? I'll try to look into it later in the day if nobody else replies. Also make sure the disks are not write-protected.

Thanks for responding.

Yes, it requires a virtual blank disk, something to write to. Since I am working with virtuals, I am not sure what to do.

It reads off the main virtual game disks, then asks for you to place the disks you are writing to into the drives, but the disks it asks for are in this case virtual.

Again, thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated.

OK, it sounds like you just need a blank .atr file.

Well thats worth a try...how do I set up a blank atr. ?

And once done, how do I tell the emulator to write to that disk?

THanks a lot for all the help, now that I have a blank...how do I tell the emulator to write to it...to recognize its there?
