[chip]

For what i know, you can, since you have more than 50 posts

[heavy]

seems ok. The speed is really better

[chip]

Perfect !

Thanks for downloading the collection

Chip: you want to share this way to rip those ndos disks ? Would be interesting to learn ..

[chip]

It's easy kriz

I take the NDOS disk with the intro / cracktro / trainer i'm interested in

I create a "new" ADF disk

I use an hex-editor and thanks to it i copy EXACTLY the bootblock + the intro / cracktro / trainer of the NDOS disk on the new ADF

To know where EXACTLY copy the intro / cracktro / trainer i use ADF Workshop so that i know where it starts and end in the NDOS disk

As you can see, the wonderful of this method, is that no assembly skill is needed

Hope this can help

[kriz]

Ok very interesting, thx Chip.. Will test it out !!

[chip]

Glad to help you

The downside of the above method is that one intro takes up an entire ADF. Not very efficient, and useless for real Amiga users.

For mai

If the intro is available as exe on Janeway, i take it for sure as an exe

a non available intro/trainer from a NDOS Disk is probably very rare situation,
if you have found a intro/trainer on NDOS Disk, which is not available until now just ask here, i am sure here are some members, who can rip it out!
As Hewitson wrote, your method is not that useful because waste of disk space!

Can you tell me examples please!?

not so rare, even DOS disk, there are a bunch of "non available" intro/trainer, but found long time ago and never spreaded...
if you find them, chapeau bas

and yes, the method is totally bad, I also can help to rip them out

ok, i have to answer the question for myself!
and yes there are a few which are not available until now as executable.
here is an example within your collection:
SkidRow-AdvTecFlSim2+7
as i wrote, just ask here to get a executable of this non available trainer.


in this case we have position and size of the trainer on disk,
to add a standard executable header should be enough, i think!

[heavy]

ask to get a executable = ask to get "lost" intro/trainer ?
example :
Crazy Cars 2 - Import Intro by Rawhead

[mai]

another one done without coding skills!
available as DMS only on kestra, probably they forgot to rip it out!

[mai]

TheLeaders-Dragon'sLair+2.adf
its just a hack of the ACU crack/trainer!

in my opinion not a good idea to insert in your collection.

MentalImage-GamediskOneMenu
in my opinion it has nothing to do with amiga demoscene!

[mai]

@ Chip: Because of no response i think you do not want help,
at least not from me, probably i was to rigorous and honest due to your ripping method!?


...and again this method is just bad, and publishing something what is bad isnt an good idea!
