No problem

Hate to rain on this parade here, but a CloneCD image just isn't a CloneCD image without the associated subchannel (.SUB) file as well. In fact, the more recent versions of Daemon Tools won't even mount the image without it.

BTW, the folks at Redump.org may be interested in Oscar as well. Their dumping methods are notably different, but should assure 1:1 quality.

MethoGit , I'm sorry but you just learn English. I can add a .SUB file?

[Retro-Nerd]

1. sub channels are completely unimportant for CD32 games. There was no protection in CD32 games.

2. Magic Iso mounts the dumped Clone CD image perfectly.

3. Yes, a Bin/Cue or ISO+WAV would be nice. Latter for the "pefectionists".

.SUB


This little scattered but I think you will make use of it

But proper CD archivists keep all associated CloneCD dump files regardless. It's not about copy-protection, it's about ensuring that anyone can use it with any program of their choice.

And not everyone uses MagicISO as their virtual drive.

IMGBurn is the best at making an instant, simple BIN/CUE dump. But the Redump way of doing things is dumping each track into seperate BIN files.

I'm assuming you used the CloneCD program to dump the disc, right? It always creates a .SUB file alongside the .CCD and .IMG files (and optionally .CUE as well if you ticked the cuesheet option).

[Retro-Nerd]

Well, then a Bin/cue dump. It's good enough for all mounting and burning tools since it the most spreaded/supported image format. Though i don't mind an ISO+WAV rip with EAC for the WAV tracks. Just tested the CD image in WinUAE and it seems to work perfectly fine.

[Reters]

Yes. CloneCD. I added all the files which I have set(IMG,SUB,CCD)

Well in cases of Amiga emulators there is no need to use external tools. FS-UAE and WinUAE can start CD images directly. And this work without .sub channels too. It's quite pointless for Amiga CD32 games. You can also mount the Clone CD image and create a new Bin/CUE with ImgBurn.

But the Redump way of doing things is dumping each track into seperate BIN files.

I always wondered why. There is no benefit over an ISO+WAV rip or a standard Bin/Cue.

Thank you for preserving this game Reters, a lot of us here highly appreciate it as the game has been eluding us all since ages.

A cloneCD image is more than fine, actually unless the person dumping the CD owns an old plextor with support for the D8 read command (which I don't think is the case) the Redump method is far more prone to having errors than a cloneCD dump due to the fact that you'll have to do a bunch of manual calculations to determine the combined offset so it's easy to make a mistake in the process if you never did it before. Besides being much more complex of course.

Besides Oscar and Diggers are there any other known CD32 games that were only released in the USA?

Seems that there isn't any CD32 games that was only released in the USA.

[brolly]

Well then that's wrong, Oscar and Diggers (the standalone releases) were never released in Europe.
Might be the case of the publisher having the rights to publish them worldwide, but it never happened at least for Oscar I'm sure about it.

Are you really sure? The back box we have on HOL for Oscar:
http://hol.abime.net/2325/boxscan

is in English, German, French and Italian. That is the kind of thing which hints towards a European release.


Feel free to provide any info. that you would have. There can be some mistakes in HOL, so if you have anything relevant and verifiable it will be welcome.

How can there be any U.S. games when the hardware itself was never released in the U.S.?
