Post subject:  Trying to play Alltynex with a .h0 image.

Hello, im the happy owner of an original FM towns computer.
I also own an original copy of Alltynex second, the excellent Doujin shmup for windows.

I searched hard to find the original Alltynex game. I finally found a link in this forum and downloaded a .h0 image.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/paschl

Im trying to mount it in UNZ but somehow it does not work. The disk image does not boot and If i boot my original towns os CD in the emulator i get to OS but cannot see a hard drive.
I made myself a bootable DOS hard drive image by following a tutorial from this forum and my homemade .h0 image works fine in the emulator. I do not know why the alltynex.h0 does not work.

Maybe someone can help me out? My goal is to make disk images of Alltynex so i can make floppies and use them in my Real FM-towns that does not have a hdd.

Thanks in advance, Max.

Your harddisk image (alltynex.h0) is working for me.
Here my settings for UNZ.

Woah, That actually worked with your settings! Do not know why it did not work with the default settings but Thanks!! :mrgreen:
The game works in the emulator but how to use it on my Real FM-towns is another story... It is apparently too big for floppies.

I sort of "extracted" the files from the HDD image and copied them to a CD but the game will not launch when i start it from the CD. ( still in the emulator )
I used a rather weird method to extract the files but I sure have them in windows now.

Maybe the game needs to be able to write on the media it is installed on?
Maybe i missed some files or corrupted them when i extracted them?
Maybe it needs to be installed in a specific way? ...

Wish i could read Japanese :p

Edit : Ok made some significant progress. Discovered Diskexplorer and UNZtool and i extracted ALLTYNEX with that. My other method corrupted the files apparently for some reason. Diskexplorer is MUCH MUCH more simple that what i did before. Now i can use alltynex from CD and it works on my real FMT. Problem is its in the dreaded 15 khz sync D: .

I tried to Add alltynex to a free software collection iso for Booting convenience but when i edit the cd image with ultra ISO i loses the booting ability... So what i do is i boot from the original software collection CD then replace it with the modified CD ( non bootable ) once im in Towns OS. I then launch Alltynex through the helper of the free software collection. It works but im sure there is a prettier solution out there.

Woah thanks!! This is just great.

If i may ask, how did you do it? Looks like a direct conversion from the .h0 file.
If you used diskexplorer, i can't find how to do it myself.

Thanks for all the help so far! :mrgreen:

Hey there.

Anyone still has Anna_Wu's bootable Alltynex CD image handy ?

And more importantly : could anyone upload the IPL software somewhere ?

I would like the CD image as well. I just got a real FM Towns without a hard drive.
