GUI is written as .AHK-/AutoHotkey-Script. ( https://www.autohotkey.com/ )

Thank you. That looks like an interesting language. Sort of Bash scripts for Windows UI :)

Hi [mention]Luzie[/mention],

Are you planning an update for the new version of esxDOS? Also have you thought of adding Fuse as one of the supported emulators?

Just to say again how invaluable this program has been with my task of taking Next screen. Much appreciated.

Thanks

Not direct. But if you copy all files under \HDFMaker\Files4SD\ to root of your CF-Card it should work.

Admittedly, I don't even know what it really means, to use hdf on real ZX instead of normal DIV/SD or CF way. Can you actually use it on real hardware? What would be a benefit of this?

Hi [mention]PeterJ[/mention] I´m working on it. Maybe a new release supporting esxDOS 0.88 tomorrow. Adding Fuse needs more time. Hope to include the feature "Update Tests-Directory in HDF" for you too.

As far as I know, you could use .HDF-Files directly on "Real Hardware". It´s just a container-format for Harddisk-Data used by e.g. Emulators.

Hi [mention]PeterJ[/mention] how do you create your Screenshots? From within running Next-Emuation (and maybe save those screenshots to the HDF-File) or do you save them via a Windows-Snapshot-program? I think you use the last one. If not, do you need an option for HDFmaker to get files from .HDF-Image back easily?

Hi [mention]Luzie[/mention],

There is a new option within Cspect that I use. You just press CTRL + F3 and it saves a PNG file in the home folder of the emulator.

Hi [mention]Luzie[/mention],

Are you planning an update for your excellent HDFmaker to include esxDOS 0.88 support for Fuse, and maybe include the latest version of CSpect?

Thanks

Dear [mention]PeterJ[/mention] ,
for CSpect I think you just need to unpack latest version of CSpect over the files in \HDFMaker\Emulator\CSpect\
I´ve already updated my version to support esxDOS 0.8.8 for Fuse with divIDE or divMMC-Emulation.
I would make some small changes and checks and inform you about a new release soon (takes some days, maybe on sunday).

Cheers

New Version HDFmaker v009.219:

-esxDOS 0.8.9 added incl. Fix for AutoLoadColour-Function (http://board.esxdos.org/viewtopic.php?id=1032)
-Hack added, so "Dr. Slumps NEW NMI.SYS v0017" runs under esxDOS 0.8.9
-Update to "New File Browser for ZX-UNO by bob_fossil v0.17 Final"
-ZEsarUX: Update to v9.2 Final
-#CSpect: Update to v2.13.01
-Fuse updatet to v1.6.0
-Bugfix for Example AUTOBOOT.BAS-Function

Download (about 259 MB packed): https://www.magentacloud.de/lnk/msI1uGUQ

Actually I´m thinking to change to PowerShell-Scripting instead of the actually used AHK-Script. With an easy Text-based-Menu instead of a GUI. But as PS is running under Linux, translation of HDF-Maker to a combined Windows/Linux-Version could be possible. Question: Is there anybody out there who sees a need for this?

@Luzie,

Please could you re-upload HDFmaker. The link has expired, and I had to rebuild my PC over Christmas. Thanks

While the share for this older official "HDFMaker v009.387 seems to be gone, I created a new package:
In-official "HDFMaker v009.417" (about 480 MB size) can be downloaded at: https://magentacloud.de/s/BsQQQY5gzdAfDma
