i won´t imagine what you still coded the last years....and won´t let us take part on it....

i´ve done some dumps from Caribbean Disaster and uploaded them...with info file...

when i get the game "World Hockey League Manager" what i´ve bought this week on ebay i´ll do dumps too...

among my collection there was this "Loom" disk.

i´ve done a MFM dump and look at the image with a hex editor and saw that there is indeed a loom.exe on it.

i wonder what this is. AFAIK Loom PC version consists of 3 disks and was released in 1990. the disk i found has another printed release year (1989) and it seems that there are no other disks. no "1/3" or "2/3" or "3/3" printed on the label

perhaps a demo of the game ???

would you like to have a dump of it ???

and can tell us what it is ???

Sure, but you can try yourself the image too.
My guess would be a rolling demo, or ega only graphics.

mhh...MFM image shows several bad sectors...no success on creating an image on my own....

but streams are uploaded to FTP and the wizard can use his magic stick on them....

Well, it's simply bad... but you can read enough of the image anyway.
If you run the ploom.exe from the image file it installs a batch file that would use 6 disks, regardless you can surpringly run the game.
You'll find that it's version 1.2 Deutsch 7, juni 1990.

Yes, WHL is fine, but it's not duplicated, so would need another copy.

Joe Maroni · 02 December 2010, 20:57

err...what does it mean it is not duplicated ??? and you need another copy ???

do you need always dumps from 2 different disksets to verify that the dumps are not modified ???

The majority of games were duplicated with machines like Trace at the time.
Data written by duplicators are different from the ones written by home machines, hence it is possible to see if something is modified/authentic or not.
When something is not duplicated, at least one other copy is needed.
