Converting 720K images to 360K

UnregisteredPosted: January 02 2004, 21:13   
Hi,
Many years ago I knew that some people were able to convert games that came in 720K disks to two 360K disks. In fact I have some games in two 360K disks that were originally in a 720K disk.
Now I have a game in a 720K disk and my MSX2 uses 360K disks (I know, weird), if I use DiskManager or similar it shows no files on the original disk (some kind of protection?)
If you can send me any information about this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks a lot in advance and a happy new year for MSX fans.

If Disk Manager doesn't give you a list of files, it means that the files of the game are "hidden" in the sectors of the disk and that the boot sector contains special information to launch the game (it can also contains some kind of copyprotection)
