Why does my OS3.9 uae setup have issues with adf files. Virtually all come up saying un-initialized.

Any ideas

It doesn't.

Probably because they are (from AmigaDOS' point of view).

Are those ADFs games? Games often use a non-AmigaDOS format which can only be read by the special code in the boot block of the disk. Hence the game can only be run by booting the Amiga from the disk.

@g01df1sh

Are the ADFs images of the original disks or are they cracks?

Sorry, must have been late then I asked that question, I thought you was on a real Amiga. LOL!

It's making sense now.

Wouldn't they then come up as NDOS? IIRC NOT_REALLY_DOS was an Amiga formatted disk with a custom or no filesystem. Being that an ADF can only be in Amiga format.

Then again I just did a test. From AmigaOS4 in any case. I used DiskImage to mount an empty image and it came up as Uninitialized. Sp perhaps the images are empty? Or zeroed in the bootblock and/or root block.
