      @folly That is great work, good investigation tips there! Must have been satisfying.

      I've got a .HDS of Die Bhanwelt on X68000, a bootable HD. I wonder if that can be tinkered with in the same way.

      I don't have the .HDS, so I can't try.
      I have .dim and made a .m3u.
      Game looks nice :

        @folly I played that one. It's a good candidate for translation on the fly as it's pretty fun and seems light on story.

          @zering Ok. Will play that a little bit more.

          @AdamBeGood If you want to tinker then you have to use
          Human 68k, it's like DOS.

            Cool, I found a translation patch but it doesn't work on my disks, or any others I can find.

            Then I found a .HDS, already patched. But no joy with that.. yet.

                @folly Oh excellent. Is that a pre-patched .dim set?

                  Oh come on! That took you about five minutes! Did it work on your disks? Gaaaah

                    Surely not... I would have found it, I'd like to think.

                      @adambegood Then I'm equally curious. How does one patch .dim files?

                        No patched version. You said it yourself.

                          @folly There is a translation available though.
                          That screen had me fooled. I thought it was a patch.

                            Then we have search for that one.

                              Totally tricked me! I see it now.

                              I did try with the disk patch, from nfggames and romhacking. Neither worked for me. The bootable .hds wasn't too hard to find either, but also yielded no joy.

                                @adambegood If it's on romhackinh there must be some sort of instructions or readme. Any idea where it went wrong for you?

                                  I have it working with that translated HD image.
                                  I can add the solution, to this thread, later on.

                                  Do you both want the solution ?

                                        EDIT:
                                        Altough this solution works, I found a much better way !
                                        Keep reading in the next post ;-)

                                        Well, I have think of my reputation. ^^

                                        I use these files (md5sum) :
                                        aa58b4d5ec37caba33da19587292a5a1 BWHDD.hdf
                                        a53067ef706c7adb06143e141f3da47a HUMAN302.XDF

                                        Here it is (hope it works for both of you):

                                        • only boot HUMAN302.XDF (exit the emulator, next time it will start with human68k)
                                        • now boot with the .hdf (you boot also into human68k (dos))
                                        • there are more drives (A: , B: , C:)
                                        • goto the C: partition (press C=>C ,=>: and enter)(keyboard issue)
                                        • then do this command => ed BW.BAT
                                        • Change A: into C:
                                        • save the file => press "escape" , press "e" (if all goes well, you come back to the prompt)
                                        • then do this command => BW
                                        • next time type => C: "enter" => bw "enter"

                                        I could almost read Japanese. HaHa
