HxC - but no SD card

radu14m · 17:56, 22 August 13

I got an HxC for my cpc but unfortuntely no SD card, and no software.
Can somebody tell me the steps that need to be done to prepare the SD card, and from where to get the apps and games.
Is there a link, from where this can be downloaded, rr the entire SD card content, ready to go ?

thanks !

You don't need to prepare the SD-Card. Just copy the disk files in HFE-format onto it, and you're ready to go.

HxC2001 HeadQuarters : HxC Floppy Emulator

To convert the dsk-files to hfe you'll need the PC-software from this site. You can find all the docs that you need there as well.

Is there a downloadable archive with all existing apps and games for cpc in hfe format on the net?

MaV · 23:28, 23 August 13

Not that I know of. A German guy has made a small collection of hfe files, but I can't remember where I read that.

The PC software does feature a batch conversion, so you just need to point it to your collection of dsk files and it will convert them all at once. That is as easy as it gets.

Thanks.
The problem is that i dont have games and applications to convert and therefore i asked for a hfe collection.

In this case, you should download the zipped iso file from this website and burn it on a CD:
CPCGamesCD

Thanks !
Thats what i was looking for

Is there also a cd collection with utilities and cpm apps ?

Hm, nope, I can't recall having seen anything resembling that for the CPC. :/

There is the Walnut creek CP/M collection, available from a big CP/M site who's name escapes me now, but you still have to burn your own CD.

The CPCGamesCD won't help; the included files are loose, no disk images. But I guess found a package?

I could upload a complete archive if anyone needs it...

When you get the SD card for your HC here is a link to the HFE files I have uploaded here

Some of my HFE Games

Wow, thanks !

Gryzor · 20:12, 08 September 13

I'm actually seeding the NoGoodCPC ROMset on Pleasuredom.org.uk for a few weeks now... all you would need!

Gryzor, I've been looking for a collection of CPC dsk files for a while now. I don't have a HxC but with my symbiface working I have dsk games on a compact flash card, and to play them I load up SymbOS and use the Dsk De-Dumper to copy a dsk file to a real disk, then re-boot and load up the game.

So if you were to upload a collection that would be awesome news for me!

Ok, can you tell me if you can download Goodsets - GoodCPC.rar (1,40 GB) - uploaded.net ? Sorry for the delay, took ages to upload...

Sorry to "crash in" here, but it seems only premium users can download such a big file

I'd be very interested in this also.

Gryzor · 07:39, 10 September 13

*sigh* Sorry, will up again.

Gryzor · 10:24, 10 September 13

Uploading again, 8 files, 200MB each, at CPC Romset . Going very slowly though...

Munchausen · 11:25, 10 September 13

Oooh, wow

! Gryzor, you're a legend! I am downloading now! Thanks

Gryzor · 11:47, 10 September 13

Not nearly done yet

Currently uploading parts 3 and 4.

Munchausen · 12:07, 10 September 13

That's ok, it's downloading only very slowly anyhow. Looks like I'm going to need a 4GB CF card now... (or more??)

Didn't we have the ability to delete our posts?.

Gryzor · 12:55, 10 September 13

@Munchausen: Hm, I don't have it unzipped so I'm not sure, but probably. Keep in mind though that this set includes multiple versions of games, so you don't need it all!!!

@Steve: this was disabled a while ago... bad moderation.

Munchausen · 13:43, 10 September 13

Cool, will strip it down a bit when the download finishes then.

Have only got the 1st part so far... apparently I've reached my download limited and have to wait a few hours...

Gryzor · 13:44, 10 September 13

Ah crap, yeah, that's the price for those services... 4 parts uploaded now.

You could try resetting your router and hope for a new IP...
