Found it on FTP.

Hi, sorry for resurrecting this thread but my question is similar...

I've found the original eadf on the FTP but I don't know how to write an extended adf on a floppy disk, is it possible?

I own a kryoflux but it seems that there's no ipf image of this game...
Is there somewhere at least an adf of this game without cracktro?
Please, help if you can!

is possible on certain copy protected games ( but not all)
I copied lot of originals using this method
you can try the game all terrain racing and post here if worked

use a tool named mfmwarp
http://www.whdload.de/whdload/Tools/MFMWarp.lha

1 on winuae insert in df0 the extended adf and type "mfmwarp.exe read mygame"
2 copy the created mygame.mfm to your real amiga
3 type on your real amiga "mfmwarp.exe write mygame.mfm
4 insert a blank floppy in df0 and wait to finish
5 reboot your real amiga and check if worked

*another similar method involves the use of wwarp+winuae
*another method involves the use of powercopy+winuae but check this method first

There is no IPF because saves are normally wrote to original disk.

I have one copy but (which is strange) my disks have cracked version. Interesting why previous owner copy cracks unto disks.

nope
there is no ipf of ATR yet because the only ones capables to make ipf files is software preservation society
is because the original game still does not come to them
they are the only which have the tools to make ipf files and do not pass it on to anyone

Thanks, as soon as I have a moment, I'll try this procedure and I'll report the results here.

there is no ipf of ATR because all the copies so far are modified.

We are the only ones having the tool to make ipf files because 99% of people just would not be able to use the tool, and the tool is dongle protected, and tied the person using it.

Hi mate, I followed your instructions but unfortunately the disk I wrote doesn't work.

I created the .mfm file on e-uae (I use Linux) and then I wrote it twice: once on my A1200 and once on my A500+ but in both cases, when tested, the floppy disk was unreadable.

The "write" operations ended with some differences in the final results but, in both cases, they seemed to be successful.

Could you, please, tell me how to try the other two methods? Thanks in advance!

I used the powercopy method and worked in this game
is only the disk 1 which have a few protected tracks , 78 and 79
the disk 2 is not copy protected

do you know how to use powercopy?
instead creating just 1 file like mfmwarp powercopy create a dir with lot of files for each floppy

you have to follow the same patern, insert the extended adf in winuae then trasnsfer the created directory by powercopy to you real amiga then create the floppy

Ok, I'll try that!

To be sincere, the "no-intro" adf(s) kindly provided by ross already did the trick. I wrote them on my original defective ATR disks and I was even able to install the game with WHDLoad on my A1200.

I want to give a try to the PowerCopy method as well to see if I am able to obtain a working disk 1 from the original uncracked eadf.

Thanks again to everyone that participated in this thread with their suggestions!

do it, works fine I tested it
and here is a basic powercopy tutorial which I have since long time ago, but you don't need to unselect speed adjust or click on track range like says there
the process is more simple, in winuae insert the ext adf, click on device,create a dir for the files, select df0 as source, dev as destination, and the other way around in your real amiga

This is popular game and I'm sure it was dumped several times. Problem is game saves it's highscores into original disks so many copies are altered.

And yes, I know that only SPS members can make IPF files or... maybe not - some IPFs are unofficial

Hi,
I confirm that PowerCopy worked well.
Thanks for your help.
