These supplemental disk images are identified by looking for the files that start with hd1k_ or hd512_. -#### Adding Slices to Combo Image +There are two approaches you can use to create custom hard disk +images with multiple slices. + +- You can add/modify a configuration file and run the RomWBW + build process. This requires running the RomWBW build process, but + will cause your custom hard disk images to be created with every + build. + +- You can manually combine the individual images using `COPY` (Windows) + or `cat` (Linux/MacOS). This does not require running the RomWBW + build process, but will require manually recreating your custom + hard disk images when you upgrade to new releases of RomWBW. + +The following sections provide more detail on each approach. + +#### Building Custom Hard Disk Images + +The RomWBW build process builds the disk images defined in the +`Source/Images` directory. The resultant images are placed in the `Binary` +directory and are ready to copy to your media. + +These aggregate disk images are defined using .def files. You will see there +is a combo.def file in the Images directory that defines the slices for the +Combo disk image. You can create your own .def files as desired to +automatically create custom aggregate disk images. When the RomWBW +build process is run, it will automatically look for all .def files +in the `Source/Images` directory and create aggregate disk images for +each using the same base name as the .def file. + +There is an example of this in the `Images` directory called +`all.def.example`. You can remove the ".example" suffix so that the +file is called `all.def`. Now, if you run the RomWBW build process, it +will automatically generate `hd512_all.img` and `hd1k_all.img` files in +the `/Binary` directory. This example creates an aggregate disk image +with all of the possible slices. + +You could also modify the contents of the Combo disk image by simply +modifying the `combo.def` configuration file. However, it is recommended +that you leave the Combo image alone and simply define your own. + +NOTE: All of the `hd1k_xxx.img` aggregate disk image files created in +this way (including the Combo disk image) will already be prefixed with +`hd1k_prefix.dat`, so you do not need to add the prefix file. They are +ready to write to your media. + +#### Combining Hard Disk Images You can add slices to the Combo Disk Images simply by tacking slices onto the end.
