Adding Write-Protect to Wizardry I boot disk image
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you download the two .dsk.gz files and run each through
|
||
|
|
WinZip and make sure each has the .dsk extension on the file name,
|
||
|
|
you may still not be able to get Wiz-1 working on your emulator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
According to the docs included on Asimov, the boot
|
||
|
|
disk needs to have write-protect set. (This has always been true of
|
||
|
|
actual diskette copies of Wiz-1, too.) I'm pretty sure booting the
|
||
|
|
diskette without write-protect messes up the copy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With a real diskette, you would just stick on a write-protect tab
|
||
|
|
to cover the notch. On an emulator, you need some way to tell the boot
|
||
|
|
drive that write-protect is ON. (i.e. you need a Buggie Drive on your
|
||
|
|
emulator!) There seems to no way to do this on AppleWin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One trick that does seem to work is to change the boot disk image
|
||
|
|
file's attribute's so that Read Only is set. Try this ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right-click on the file Wizardry_|_boot.dsk
|
||
|
|
Select "Properties"
|
||
|
|
Click "Read Only"
|
||
|
|
Click "Okay"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I tried booting a new copy of Wizardry_|_boot.dsk on AppleWin,
|
||
|
|
the program would hang when I pressed SPACE. When I tried booting
|
||
|
|
another copy which had the Read Only attribute set, the program
|
||
|
|
continued on to the game menu when I pressed SPACE. So, setting the
|
||
|
|
attribute seems to work like a write-protect tab. Good luck!
