Arctic Fox?
 

i think i read somewhere that someone wanted an original adf of Arctic Fox, i have the original on amiga floppy which i will adf if you still are looking for it

Yes, we are in need of a fresh dump. But seeing as how your original is copy protected, this may pose a problem. If you are technical, here is how you can deprotect it:

If all of that is greek to you, ProjectD 3.16 will deprotect the game to a new disk (copy) which will in turn be adf'able. The existing copy on the net is a useless overdump.

Codetapper of some of the other WHD guys may want to contact you for an image of the original for making a hard-drive version, as well.

Twist, what do you mean by Dumb Copy?
Is this a copy program I don't know of?
:confused

If you guys ever get a REAL working dump of this could you let me know please? This is one adf I've been looking forever for.

I just used DISK2FDI to dump Arctic Fox (not original), probably not cracked. I don't believe the parameter copiers actually crack it; instead, they duplicate the protection. DISK2FDI reported errors on Head 0, Side 1 and Head 1, Side 1. This copy behaves like all others I've tried, which makes me think that emulation is the problem, not protection.

Twist, can you upload ProjectD if you have it? Aminet and Google don't seem to produce any results.

What about WARPing it, DPainter?
A WARP is always the best way to get an original copy a HD-fixer or ADF-fixer can make use of. :)
PM me for details, if you've never worked with those tools before...

In the Zone...

Thanks very much, Twist. :cool

Good news and bad news. The good news: I found a dms file of Arctic Fox!!!

And now the bad news. Whoever created the dms file for that game did so in standard mode, rather than with the NOZERO switch set, resulting in a meager 62k file. Making it useless. (sigh)

Sorry for the tease above...that screenshot is from the ST version. Think of it as an incentive for DPainter to warp his copy!

Oh, and I keep meaning to reply to Andreas about his question regarding DUMB COPY from early in this thread. DUMB COPY is a mode in the copier program Mirror, which was (I believe) an early version of RawCopy. That mode is not in RawCopy (or at least not the last released version). If anyone would like, I can post Mirror, but you will need an original of the game and a real Amiga.

Thanks for your offer.
Well, I have a real amiga and original games, not that one, though. But this copyprog may be useful for other originals, too, so I'd appreciate it if you uploaded it.

OK, it's on my list to upload when I get home. And maybe anyone who has an original can use this method on theirs (if they can understand the somewhat cryptic instructions)...

i have tried making an adf-version found on the net working -
but i cant find tese addresses (im working with DISCOVERY -DiskManipulator1986)
Block 861

Offset $A4 ?? seems to be at another Block?
Value = $4CC93DBF
Offset $A8 ??
Value = $01ED69DF
Offset $E4

etc

Well, you need an ORIGINAL to make this work, otherwise you can't find these addresses because the crackers had already tampered with the code then...

the game is NOT cracked and NOT running on my REAL Amigas.Buts its ADF ..perhaps the protected Blocks are missing ..
but I wrote the whole disk without a problem

if someone has it cracked upload it in the zone please..
or help me find the rigt Tracks/blocks ;)

As mentioned above, you need an original of the game and a copy of Mirror for that to work. The copy circulating on the net is an overdump and therefore worthless. But the copy that it was dumped from was deprotected, this I am sure of. The blocks you seek do not exist on this disk/adf.

Whahey! Just seen Jean-Francois Fabre (aka JOTD) has taken over work for Arctic Fox installer and it's 95% complete now!
Cool! :)

WHDLoad patch is actually 100% complete and is available for download. Works perfectly on Amiga BTW :-) Next on Jeff Fabre's list is One on One- yes!

How wonderful that these poor performance old E/A classics are being fixed! This is splendid news, indeed!
