Title: Trouble with Macdisk Signature Conversion for Sound Designer
Post by: midipuppies on December 15, 2009, 11:26:47 AM
I am trying to convert .EII bank files from my PC to readable SD files using Macdisk.
I have followed Esynthesist's instructions from his EMXP manual and I am having problems.
I add the correct sig files/extensions in the program and then copy them onto a zip disk on the PC. They transferred initially, but SD would not read them. After trying a bunch more times, they only transferred as text documents.
I uninstalled the program a bunch of times and just can't seem to get it to work.
When the files first transferred, the file properties had the correct signatures, but the actual file name was still .EII extension.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you need to edit the resource forks. There's a screen shot of what I think you need to do on the Yahoo EII Users website.

Just to make sure:

Emulator II Sound Designer Files:

File Type = "E2BK", Creator = "XFER", MS DOS Extension = ".EII"

Did you format the zip disk with your mac?
