I can't drag files to my .hfv in HFVExplorer!

Post by CorporalPig22 »

So I'm trying to put Stuffit Expander 5.5 and iCab on my .hfv file in HFVExplorer, but when I drag it in there HFVExplorer does nothing (in other words, the file doesn't copy and I don't get the prompt, either). What should I do about this?

You might try booting with a 7.5.3 image instead:

Once you got things rolling, add another volume to the emulator where you may store apps and games.
Copying is done via the shared folder "My Computer", Mac files must be run from the Mac volume, as you will know.
Here are some disk images collected:

Have you been able to copy anything else using HFVxplorer?

Are you dragging files from Windows Explorer to HFVExplorer, or are you dragging files from one part of the tree in hfvexplorer to another part of the tree?

I think there's a download somewhere with Stuffit Expander 5.5 already in a .hfv, but I can't recall where.
