Once the file has downloaded, just double-click it to start the tool and then click “Yes” to give it permission to make changes to your PC. When the tool starts, click “Accept” to accept the license terms. Note that the Windows 8.1 version of the tool does not ask you to accept license terms. (If you don’t want to use the Media Creation Tool and just want to download an ISO file directly, just change your browser’s user agent to a non-Windows browser like Apple Safari on iPad while you’re viewing the download page. You can create blank ADF files with WinUAE in seconds. I know this is 32 years early and might affect very little or nothing, but it is worth mentioning in case anyone stumbles on this issue and searches the web for a solution.īeyond January 19th, 2046 at 03:14:07 (one of the Amiga's end of time dates), all floppies created by current WinUAE versions will have a date that might not function correctly with applications and games. That I know of, at least Workbench 1.0 updates its date automatically to the most recent date it finds on the mounted drives. I don't have other mock date emulated setups (1.x to 3.x) to try this on now. Here's an example just by inserting a new floppy in df2. There is no file in the floppy which WB would read the date off of, it is in the floppy's meta information. WinUAE puts this date in a 32-bit block ($6E014-$6E017) on the adf file. There are some other changes from blank adf to blank adf in the region $6E1AB to $6E1EF. Given this situation, it would be safer (from a user perspective) to offer a Mock Floppy Creation Date option in *UAE user interfaces (with a help bubble referring to end of time issues). Change the $6E014-$6E017 block to a valid date one in a hex editor.insert the "post end of time floppy" in the drive created by WinUAE, make sure the emulated system date is in a valid mock one, format the floppy in the emulated system.dd an adf, followed by formatting it within the mock time AmigaOS environment (dd doesn't create an OFS formatted floppy).keep a blank floppy with a valid date archived.And a mock emulated clock option somewhere in the hardware options too, btw.
