Saving directory Protracker WinUAE

[oundfire99]

Just started using Protracker on WinUAE and when I save a mod or song (not sure which one to save I assume MOD), it says 'can't open file' I am going to Disk Op then loading samples to get to the right directory, then hitting 'Parent' then either 'Save Module' or 'Save Song' ...... I managed to save a TRK file in the correct directory. Thanks

Choose "save module" .... A song is just a playlist of what sample to play at a certain point.

Thank you, I tried Module as well and was getting 'Status: Can't Open File' when trying to save.

The disk assigned to DF1: might have the 'write protect' box ticked. Must be unticked if you wish to save anything onto it.

The DF1 Write-protected box is greyed out. Does this not save in Hard Drives like it does on my Octamed emulation? I checked and read/write is enabled in here, thanks

You need to tell Protracker to save to DH1: not DF1:

I usually create a folder on my Windows desktop and assign it as a drive in WinUAE so I can then save and load stuff there.
