1. In article written how to save game but I can`t understand how to restore.
you more or less do the same thing... if the game supports multiple floppies, you insert your save adf in one of them, and then restore from it... if the save adf needs to be in df0: you just switch the adfs (using f12) when you want to restore
2. I found some adventures but they not all in adf format. Some of them have a lot of abk files and directories data, fonts and libs. (I think it`s original Amiga format) How can I run them? Is there any way to convert them in adf format.
what joy said is the best idea, since running a game from a virtual hd would be the fastest way... but you can also put those files on an adf image, by creating a new adf (make sure it's bootable) and then using adf opus (dload it jMfv7XdOqkJ:cpc464.back2roots.org/page09.htm+amiga+copy+files+to+adf&hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HERE) to copy those files to your empty adf image

hey, i didn't know about those games!!! dloaded them, and apparently they are only meant to run from hd... i think only one of them is small enough to fit on a floppy, and i don't know if it would run from there anyway... i tried out lethal formula, and it works fine!

well, you need to install workbench on dh0... i presume you're running emulation for aga (ie kick3.0 or 3.1 and aga chipset)... so, in that case you got to install workbench 3 (using its install disk) on the hd... then you'll be able to boot from dh0 and install the games there
I tried also ADFopus but it convert to adf files only dms files.
if you make a blank adf file using winuae, you'll be able to open it in adfopus, and then drag and drop the files in it

Status : Online | I also managed to run Lethal_formula by copying the game to a virtual-HD. But you have to start them from a workbench, from AmigaDOS they will not run!
So what I did was emulate an amiga 500 with a 68020 CPU and 2mb of chipmem.
Put a .adf disk with workbench 1.3 in diskdrive DF0: and put the game files in your virtual-HD, say HD0:
The emulator will now boot into the workbench. Click the icon of the HD you created and after it's windows is opened click on the game icon!
That should do the trick...
@fruity, which ones do you mean? The ones we are trying to get up and running now are in the link provided a few post before...
p.s. that GraphicAdventureCreator (GRAC) sure looks nice Does such a thing exist on PC too?

i had never thought of doing that!!! that is a great idea for someone to do that doesn't have wb installed on the virtual hd! so those games don't need aga to run?

Status : Online | AFAIK they don't, I tested both GRAC2 and Lethal_Formula in the way I have discribed, so a pretty plain Amiga 500, with no just a bit more memory and faster CPU, but no AGA...

thanx for the links! had no idea about all those advs!!!
you should try what joy suggested... make a hard drive partition (dh0:[size=13]) and then boot from a workbench disk and put the games on dh0
