Ok... so you`ve pressed F12... gone to your floppy drives.. ejected the pm.adf ? ... now click on `create standard disk` give it a name ... and hit save..
Look up to DF0 and hit thew browse button [..] <--- and find your disk you`ve just created... click on `open` and you`ve `virtually inserted the save disk..
Click on `ok` to go back to the emulation..
Well.. before all this you get to the point in Player Manager where it`s asking for a save disk.. so when you go back to the emulation... your save disk is virtually in DF0.. and you click whatever you need to click ( can`t remember ) to save.
Your starting a new game ?
Let me know how you get on..
Stainy, I've done all that cheers mate, and same problem. the .adf file exists, and its mounted onto the DF0: drive, but when clicking OK at the botom of the screen(the emulated PM screen), it waits a while and then loads the same screen "Please insert a formatted disk into drive A"
I've even tried zipping up the .adf file to see if that will make a difference, no luck (n.b. Hertford?? You're just down the road from me LOL)

previous thread and download the same file. If you can load it and play it with no problems, I'll make one for you too.
Alkis, The Burnley file that you have posted does work, and I can use the save state facility no problems. I appreciate you willing to make a file for me, but I'd really like to get to the bottom of this one. I just can't work it out.
This is exactly what I've done......
WINUAE 1.5.2 .............. (Has anyone tried starting a new PM game using this version??)
Using the A500 v1.3 ROM OCS 512kb chip with 512kb Slow RAM (Most Common)
PM 1990 ANCO Cracked by Oracle (DL from the previous thread link)
Created a "Standard Disk Image" renamed "pmsave.adf" - set to 100% compatabililty. 3.5" DD
Started PM, clicked on "New Game" waited the 20 mins for it to build the database. Changed the name of the manager, the name of the team, and clicked "Play as a Team"
Changed the names of a few of the teams in the divisions (just extensions really, Tottenham HOTSPUR, Manchester UNITED etc rather than just Manchester and Tottenham etc etc) Clicked "Done"
"Insert Formatted Dick into Drive A"
Pressed F12, ejected the PM from DF0: "inserted" the pmsave, made sure write protect is unckecked, clicked OK, and then the screen reloads itself, as the AMIGA would do if you hadn't inserted a formatted disk.
