From what Sebatianos wrote, he already tried that and failed.

Plus, some of those old games run better from the floppy than from HDD. Try running Wibarm from a mounted HDD... then from a floppy image mounted in a virtual FDD. From the floppy it starts up alomst instantly, from HDD you wait... and wait... and wait.

Yup, couldn't make it work by just assigning a folder on my HDD.

I tried imagemounting something an image of an empty floppy, but got no luck. The problem is, the game doesn't give any error reports, it just won't let you save and it freezes, so I don't know if it didn't recognize the mounted image as a B: drive, or there was something it didn't like about the disk or something. It was strange.

Simply put the extracted attachment in the archive.

SAVED = save file
AMZ.EXE -> four changed hex digits to locate the save file (instead of FDD)

File Type: zip AMZSAVE.ZIP (24.0 KB, 86 views)

Hey!!! Thanks a lot Luchsen. I'm gonna try it out now.

Yes SIR, that did the trick - thanks a million. Is it OK if I place the zip file you provided as an extra to the main site?
