Hi, guys, I really hope someone could help me. I'am using Winape for some time now as an old time Amstrad user because for some reason I feel that it's the best emulator of all I tested (Java CPC, Arnold, CPC Emu - bu I might be wrong).
However, there's one thing perplexing me "Enable IDE Devices" option in Settings/Other that doesn't seem to work anything obvious to me. I was hoping I could put a bunch of Amstrad files in IDE image or straight to my HDD, but I don't know how to access it from emulator.
Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks!

Hi,
For "straight to my HDD", see there how to do this with "cpcdos.rom" : https://cpcrulez.fr/emulateurs_WinAPEaccesHD.htm
About "ide" (see the blank.ide file into the main directory of winape) they are containers files you'll have to format (depending the os used...) to deal with...
Best.

Thanks, tronic, I'll check it out. That thing has really being bugging me for some time now.
Cheers
Tried, everything works like a charm. You are a life saver, tronic.
Where do you get the blank.ide file that the WinApe instructions says it comes with? I downloaded the latest ZIP 3 times and it doesn't seem to contain it.
I must be blind... I found it.
Normally it should be right in the directory where winape.exe will be found.
Small tip: If you map the IDE File to CPMDSK01.IMG (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/4/4a/CPMDSK01%2602.zip) then you can use it with HDCPM (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/HDCPM) directly as a 8MB CP/M hard disk.

Hey nice, didn't know... the same format?
Yup! .img are raw hard disk image files.
You can only have one of them mapped though.
