(below there's english translation)

Ciao a tutti,
da poco uso l'emulatore per AMIGA: quando un gioco mi chiede
di inserire un disco per salvarlo... come faccio a far riconoscere
il floppy del pc?! ...devo creare un HARD DISK o FLOPPY VIRTUALE?
(l'ho fatto, ma come devo "collegarlo" al gioco?
esempio di gioco: PLAYER MANAGER (chiede un disco formattato)

Grazie per la risposta!



Hi everybody,
from a couple of day, I'm using an AMIGA emulator (WINUAE)...
and I'va problems with games that require disks to save the game!
How can I do to SAVE the games!? How can I do to let the pc see
the floppy?! Have I to create an virtual floppy or hard disk?! I made so,
but... now, how can I "link" the game to the virtual devices?
example of game that require formatted floppy: PLAYER MANAGER

Thank you for attention...
and best regards!

                                                                 Vittorio

I think it's just a case of creating a blank ADF file from the 
WinUAE software, load Workbench in your emulation, load the new 
'floppy' in the DF0: position and formatting it like a normal disk. 
Then it should be ready for saving. Usually by pressing f12 during 
the game when you need to save and loading that 'disk' into the 
df0: position.

However I've never played Player Manager so i'm not sure of the 
actually save mechanism in the game but this usually work for 
others.
