The WinSTon emulator has default settings for where it can find any TOS images, Disc images, and the location of the emulated Hard-Drive partitions on your PC. These defaults are directed to the directories inside the folder where you installed WinSTon(usually '\Program Files\WinSTon'). You can modify these to match the structure of your own hard-drive, although it is recommended that you move other files on your machine into the places set by WinSTon as this will make future updates of support files easier for you to install. |
WinSTon requires a TOS rom image to run and has an emulated version 1.00 image built-in which is used by default. You can override this by selecting another compatible image on the TOS/GEM dialog options page. This filename is also used to tell the Favourites dialog where it can find other versions of the TOS rom image should it require them(it assumes all TOS images are kept in the same directory). |
Disc images are file copies of ST floppy discs and are inserted into the emulators virtual disc drives. These files can be selected by browsing your hard-drive - by default the browser will open at the directory set on the Disc Images dialog page. As with the TOS image, the Favourites also assumes that disc images can be found in the same location. |
WinSTon emulates up to four hard-drive partions. By default you are given a single hard-drive location to store files. These settings can be found on the Hard-Discs page. An emulated hard-drive is simply a re-direction to a location(or folder) on your PC system. You can copy files into and out of this folder using Windows just as you would with any other hard-drive folder. The purpose of setting a directory name up for each emulated hard-drive partition is to keep the ST/PC file system separate so you do not delete or modify files which belong to applications. |
