hello,

i have problem in how to play a game. i have Downloaded game words worth (1993)from elf
ex:
Words Worth (1993)(Elf)(Disk 01 of 12)(Disk A).fdd >> 12 part
Words Worth Special Disk (1993)(Elf)(Disk 1 of 2)(Disk A).fdd >> 2 part

the problem is i don't really know how to play file with that extension (*.fdd). all info i know is that those game initially played for NEC pc-98.

spectaculator

Get Anex86 from here: Sorry this link is now dead

Steps to install
  • extract it to it's own folder (ie c:\pc98), and extract the game to it's own folder (ie c:\pc98\disks)
  • in the Anex folder there is a sub-folder (vf011010) go there and click on vfic.exe
  • in the format dropdown list (highlight FDI(anx86) Format)
  • in explorer go to where you've extracted the game, and drag and drop the files one at a time on vfic. it will create two fdi files
Steps to start
  • Open anex86.exe.
  • Goto Config, then click on the tab that says font, then click on the button: (...) it will open a file requester (these two steps need to be done only once)
  • goto the folder where anex86 is extracted, then click on (anex86.bmp) then close the window by pressing the x in the title bar.
  • click on the (...) button alongside the fdd1 dropdown box. goto were you extracted the game, and click on disk 1
  • Do the dame for fdd2. then press start

I downloaded the file you that you linked to and it didn't install Anex86 (don't know what it install - nothing that I could tell.) Would you be able to re-upload the installer?

I will get Anex86 added to our own emulators section hope fully today. Please check it again later.

p.s. BUMP this topic if this does not happen.
