Error trying to mount a floppy disk image (.DSK)

Post by danielsm »

Hello!

I'm trying to mount a floppy disk image using Mac99 emulation (MacOS 9.2 system) in order to play classic SimCity game.

In Mini vMac I can just drag and drop the DSK file into emulator and it just mounts, but in QEMU I'm trying to use the parameter "-fda SimCity.dsk" and get this error:

qemu-system-ppc-screamer: -fda SimCity.dsk: machine type does not support if=floppy,bus=0,unit=0

Same occurs to the non-screamer build and for "-drive file..., format..., media=floppy" parameter.

Any hint about how do I get a .DSK file read in QEMU-ppc?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

I've had success adding a dsk file as cdrom:
-drive file=Simcity_14g-1.dsk,format=raw,media=cdrom

Best,
