#Getting hd to work in sdltrs emulator manual
The box art for Lemmings says it requires at least 2 MB of memory to work, but the manual says different. I decided to take a chance and try Lemmings on the SE. In fact, I’d even go out on a limb and say that the FloppyEmu makes the SE faster than the newer Classic. The HD-20 emulation mode will not only allow me to easily transfer and store files with the SE, but will also allow me to “bypass” the limitations of only being able to use double-density disk images.īooting the SE with HD-20 emulation mode turned on instantly revealed a difference: after spitting out the disk blanks, the SE displayed the “Happy Mac” and proceeded to boot into System 6.0.8 – without me needing to insert the double-density 6.0.8 boot floppy.Īfter it booted, I decided to play some games to see how well HD-20 emulation works. Instead, HD-20 emulation will be a life-saver on my 1988 Macintosh SE which has a dual-floppy (800k) configuration. However, HD-20 emulation will rarely come in handy on the Classic since it already has a hard drive. I went ahead and transferred the files from the FloppyEmu to the internal hard drive.

However, after using Mini vMac on my 2019 MacBook Pro to transfer the Lemmings files over to the correct hard disk volume on the microSD card, I was able to open Lemmings on the Classic. The folders contain individual floppy disk images.
The one circled in red is the incorrect one, whereas the one circled in green is the one used by the FloppyEmu. (I believe it was originally labeled “Hard Disk 6.0.8” in the Finder.) The two HD-20 hard disk images are circled. There seem to be multiple hard disk volumes on the microSD card, so be sure to find the right one. With HD-20 emulation mode unlocked, I tried to transfer Lemmings over to the Classic. I originally tried this on my 1991 Macintosh Classic, where it automatically booted into the FloppyEmu volume (containing System 6.0.8) rather than the factory-original internal Quantum ProDrive LPS containing System 6.0.7. You must restart the computer for it to work. Then you’re able to switch to the hard disk emulation mode. To enable HD-20 emulation on the FloppyEmu, you must turn the computer on and press the “select” button. (My guess is that since the FloppyEmu can also be purchased on its own without an included microSD card, the manual omits information about the contents of the included microSD card.)

The FloppyEmu user’s guide gives detailed instructions on how to set the FloppyEmu into “hard disk” or HD-20 emulation mode, but made it seem like you had to create your own hard disk volume using a “blank disk image from Gryphel.” Fortunately, the FloppyEmu actually has a hard disk volume already installed and ready to go on that microSD card, with many of the same programs from the floppy emulation mode.
However, after finding out how to get it to work, I felt quite dumb. In my original FloppyEmu post, I mentioned the HD-20 emulation mode, but couldn’t figure out to get it to work.
Late last night, I had a “Eureka!” moment while perusing through the contents of the microSD card that came included with my FloppyEmu.
