Subject: Re: [emax] EMX program
Create a directory on your computer's hard drive called EMX.
Download EMX and extract it to that directory.
Download the sound bank(s) you want and extract them to the same
directory.
Using your Emax II format as many DS/DD floppy disks as you will need,
keeping in mind each sound bank file needs it's own floppy.
Reboot into DOS Mode (not a DOS Window)
Launch EMX from the directory you unzipped it in.
Choose option [W] "Write an Emax disk bank"
Tell EMX your floppy drives letter (normally it would be A)
Tell EMX the exact name of the file to write to the DS/DD floppy (example:
tr808.emx or taylord1.em2) When you see multiple files with the same name
but numbered this means it's a multiple disk set and must be loaded in
your Emax II in order.
EMX will now write the file to the floppy once done you will need to
repeat the [W] process for each disk in the set.
Common Problems:
You must use a DS/DD floppy. EMX can not write to a HD (High Density)
floppy disk. Even though the Emax II can "force format" a HD floppy this
is not recommended and the results aren't always reliable.
All sound bank files must be in the directory that EMX is.
Hope this helps.
