X-Copy TNG

NLS · 08 February 2008, 13:59

X-Copy usually. Also White Lightning.

Before that maybe Marauder II... and do you people remember CLImate?

(reeeeally old) Of course CLImate was mostly a DOpus-before-DOpus not really a copier...

Powercopy is the best of them all. It allows to check and find the sync on each track and visualize it. Plus the hability to master back some protected games like agony with a standard amiga drive fingers in the nose !
and creating after parameters for everygames. many of my own collection
has been checked, parametered, and saves as disk image on hard drive

xcopy is good to copy games with light protections like smash TV, shadow warriors, or shadow of the beast III (track 0 to 81 or else it crash).

Both D-copy and Burstnibbler is available in Action Replay 3.

X-copy pro

I always used X-Copy first; fast and it would copy most things. After that it was a bit trial and error. I only remember one game being particularly difficult to copy, some puzzle game called Zoom. I suspect it was just an error on the disk though.

dlfrsilver · 18 February 2008, 20:22

not an error, just many synchros on the disk. It means that you have to know the whole disk layout to copy it. Powercopy does it very well. It check the disk format and sync, and then automatise the copy process. Just have to test when finished.

D-copy and I still use it to this day

OK for the sake of it:

SAFE II by Michael Pendec in the zone!

This is very rare and you might never have heard of it

Dcopy was used a lot here, and even though I used X-copy in the beginning, I believe Dcopy was used on more disks.

Actually it was KTC-Copy, but in reality I just hex-edited Dcopy to translate it and make my own default name for formating disks.

Reading this thread, I recognize a lot of the programs, but I really miss some screenshots to remind me how they looked. How about we try to make/collect screens from all the programs we have been writing about?

Since when is D-Copy (by D-Mob) available in Action Replay? Could I have such Action Replay too please?

oneshotdead · 03 July 2008, 11:03

X-copy is all I ever used. Only other that rings a bell is Burstnibbler.

alewis · 26 July 2008, 22:59

X-Copy... marketing over function. But then again, what else *was* marketed!

Nib2 was superb, shame it broke under KS2+. CVParameter copier wasn't bad.

SuperCardAmi II... the best hardware copier full stop. Use any other copier (with a nibblemode) for 95% of what there was, and SCA for the rest.
