DiskFlashback
A Windows package to use Floppy Disk Images Files & Non/PC Real Floppy Disks in Windows, directly.
Why?
I wanted to be able to access floppy disks from my Amiga, and other formats without having to boot an emulator. I wanted to be able to open a disk image file (like ADF, IMG etc) in Windows in the easiest way possible, as well as be able to use a real floppy drive too and see whats on it.
So I decided to build this - which allows you to view and edit the contents of real disks and disk images directly from Windows Explorer, and yes, you can even read non-PC floppy disks in real time too (hardware required).
I'd been planning on building this since 2017, and now, with a simple double-click I can now access the contents of these disk image files directly!
See the Getting Started Guide! for more details!
