3 and 4 are correct. 1 and 2 are much easier! :) Crucible already contains a ROM file that it will combine for you with the image file you want to use. You can either use an image file you provide (as long as it's smaller than 1.5 MB as you point out) OR you can use one of the built-in images...

I'm seriously amazed by the ROM SIMM and very flattered that @Kay K.M.Mods gave me a chance to help in a small way. I've always thought the ROM-Inator was an amazing achievement (and it still is, obviously) but to be able to create your *OWN* ROM and include any files (or System!) you want with...

I'll see how much adoption I get from the Windows contingent before I start porting more features (so far so good) but that's definitely something I'm thinking about, indeed. I wonder: which feature do you think should ported to Windows first: Disk-O-Matic or the partitioner that lets you...

As an early Christmas present for my Windows-using friends, Disk Jockey, the disk image creator for your retro stuff, now runs on Windows! You can now create disk images of (almost) any size to be used in Mac emulators and magical devices like PiSCSI and BlueSCSI. It's a complete rewrite of...

Indeed, it would be transparent for the user: everything would be preserved, unless their Catalog and Extents Overflow files were corrupted on the original volume, of course. I don't even think the Desktop DB would need to be rebuilt. It's itself a file, and I don't believe it operates at the...

That's an interesting suggestion. It wouldn't be straightforward to do because, amongst other things, HFS calculates its allocation size based on the size of the whole volume (which is mainly what made it painful to use on large hard drives: even files containing just a few bytes would take up...

Since you and a couple of others asked, and even though it boggles my mind a little that people like it so much that they want to contribute (but then again, this is a wonderfully generous community), I have set up a Ko-Fi here: https://ko-fi.com/onegeekarmy No pressure at all, of course...

That's hilarious!

Thank you for your input! It's much appreciated! Glad to read that Disk Jockey is behaving well with ProDOS partitions in real-life scenarios (and not just the ones I'm coming up with). Regarding your other points: - The mandatory HFS partition (defaulted to 20 MB) will disappear in an...

Never say never :)

Glad I could help repurpose that classic machine!

Do you miss brushed metal and also enjoy creating disk images for your retro computers? Do you have an older PowerPC or Intel Mac that's not as useful as it used to be? Meet Disk Jockey 1999! http://diskjockey.onegeekarmy.eu/help/dj1999.html I made this (in Objective-C 1.0, like an animal) to...

Glad you think it's cool :) To be honest, it's also a huge relief for me that classic Mac OS is so mindful of its users. It allowed me to avoid having to reimplement HFS formatting :p ProDOS is media-agnostic indeed. However, I don't believe it has to do with whether or not it is hierarchical...

As Eric points our, the HFS partition has no effect and does not prevent anything from working. It only exists because DJ (and therefore I) put it there. I see that it's causing some confusion so I'll find a way to present things differently in a future version. Also, there's purposefully...

I believe Eric did use Disk Jockey to do this. Looking at the image contained inside HD1_TotalReplay-v5.0b1.hda.zip, you can see that it does contain an unformatted HFS partition (20 MB). Eric chose to ignore it (not that he had a choice :p ). To be clear, BlueSCSI doesn't require anything...

Hi! At this point, you cannot remove the HFS partition. The reason is that, to create a device image (an image that works with BlueSCSI), it must contain at bare minimum a Device Descriptor, an Apple Partition Map and a SCSI device driver (these are automatically created by Disk Jockey). The...

Thanks for reporting the broken link. It's fixed now. And thank you for suggesting to port it to PowerPC! However, maybe there's something coming soon... 🤫 Also: DJ is written in Swift, there's no weird API or external library use whatsoever, except for the unobtrusive Sparkle framework that...

I really wanted to make it a good citizen of modern macOS, constraints and all. Notarizing is really not that big a deal these days if you include it in your workflow from the beginning and if you accept that you can't have free-range over the user's computer (which you really never should...

It's that time again! Disk Jockey is now at version 2.5! It's full of new stuff! Get it here: https://diskjockey.onegeekarmy.eu Release notes: https://diskjockey.onegeekarmy.eu/files/diskjockey/Disk-Jockey.app.html

That's the hope for this feature, indeed! Hopefully, there won't be a need for HD SC Setup in the vast majority of scenarios anymore. This also solves the chicken-and-egg problem of "I need to partition this disk but where can I put HD SC Setup if that disk is not initialized?" which I've...
