MEDIA mode
MEDIA mode is where you can save data from internal
memory to the internal drive or an external USB storage
device, or load data from media into internal memory. You
can also copy or delete files, or format media.
In addition to the internal drive, NAUTILUS supports most
USB storage devices, including:
• Hard disk drives
• Removable disk drives
• USB flash media
• CD-R/RW drives
With external drives and flash media, the NAUTILUS
supports MS-DOS FAT16 and FAT32 disk formats. FAT 16
supports up to 4 GB; FAT 32 supports up to 2 Terabytes
(2,000 GB).
CD-R/RW
The NAUTILUS can read and write UDF format CD-R/RW
disks. For more information, see “CD-R/RW disks on the
NAUTILUS: UDF and packet-writing” on page 946.
DVD-ROM
The NAUTILUS can read (but not write) UDF format DVD-
ROM disks.
Files, directories, and icons
The NAUTILUS manages data on drive and other media in a
hierarchical manner, using files and directories. The contents
of a file (whether it is a file or a directory) are indicated not
only by the name but also graphically by an icon. Files and
directories have differently shaped icons.
The NAUTILUS collectively refers to files and directories
recognizable by MS-DOS (readable by a MS-DOS
computer), and UDF format and ISO9660 format files and
directories as “DOS files” and “DOS directories.” Different
types of DOS file are distinguished by the extension added
to their filename.
In the case of a DOS file with an extension other than listed
below, selecting “Load selected” to open the dialog box will
cause the file to be considered to be a Standard MIDI File
(SMF). However, in this case non-SMF files cannot be
loaded
File extensions and NAUTILUS data types.
When NAUTILUS data is saved, one of these filename
extensions will be added automatically, according to the type
of data. If these filename extensions are modified on a
computer, the file will be treated as an undefined file when it
is reloaded back into the NAUTILUS, and will be handled as
a Standard MIDI File.
The diagram on the next page shows how the NAUTILUS
handles files.
Since .PCG, .SNG, .KSC, and .KFX files can be opened to
divide their contents, they are displayed as directory icons.
Different colors are used to indicate different types of file.
