TOSEC lists several different catagories of ROMs, but you only list FDI, FDD and HDI. PC-98 images come in an enormous variety of obscure formats. Thanks to the wonders of VFIC, however, all non-protected games can be converted to FDI or HDI. Protected games generally have to be converted to FDD. Are there any PC-98 games in English?

This guide was written so that if anyone canread, they can setup a PC98 HD. My thanks goes to Unipuma fortranslating the options in the menu for me as I cannot read themmyself and this guide would not exist without his help.

I appologize for all the pictures in advance,and even though some of them may not seem needed to you, I haveto make this as fool proof as possible.

PART 1: Creating a HDImage using ANEX86

You need the following filesto do this:
