Converting .SF2 into .EM1 on Mac

2015-10-13 by spencerdcarson@...

Hey all!

I've just finally got my Emax back from my parents' basement! I have ordered the HxC Floppy Emulater Rev F from Lotharek and I'm pretty excited. I need to give it some TLC (Change the LCD display to OLED and recap the PSU) before I install it. I also have to convert .SF2 files to .EM1 files so i can then convert the .EM1 files to .HFE files via my HxC Floppy Emulator application. Anyone know what software I can use to do that?

Cheers,

Spencer

I believe you are looking for EMXP, which is beyond essential for any Emax or Emulator user:

I believe EMXP is Windows only which doesn't help with me as I use a Mac. Have they made a Mac version now?

Sorry, missed the Mac part of that question. That's the only software I know of that can solve the bigger issue though.

I bought an old Dell notebook with XP and a built-in floppy drive a few months back, it comes in real handy for working with the HxC software and floppy disks.

Nope. There is Translator www.chickensys.com world-class translation software, Windows and Mac. It doesn't convert into Emax yet (it converts out of Emax), but there's no reason why it can't. (Mostly lack of request, lack of interest.)

Contact me off-list, very HTH.
