Amiga Format coverdisk 53b (Uridium 2 demo) - Page 2

David Grantham · 13 August 2010, 13:34

Prowler, check the CD I gave you ;-) (053b.adf)
I haven't tested it all the way to the end, but it definitely loads and starts playing in WinUAE.

TCD · 13 August 2010, 13:37

Yes, please check that CD prowler

I can make a list of missing AF coverdisks for you to check prowler if you don't have the time yourself

Okay, I have the CD in my DVD-RAM drive now, and there's a 2MB 053b.adf file in the \AmigaFormat directory, which I'm assuming is an extended adf.

Give me a moment, and it'll be up in the Zone!

@TCD: Yes please, mate. That would be a great help!

Edit: Zoned!

@All: I still intend to have a go at using my AR3 cartridge to produce an 880K ADF for writing back to your floppies!

I don't have all the AF coverdisks, but I have a fair number, apart from those on this CD.

I'll check them against your list and upload the missing ones I can find. And, BTW, I haven't forgotten about the missing CU Amiga coverdisks. I've had a very busy time of it lately, but I'm just beginning to get some more free time now, so I hope to get this done soon.

No worries prowler

Just keep to info somewhere safe and get to it when you have the time.

You sir are a gent! I don't have a real Amiga so I don't need an 880k version but I'm sure others would be very grateful...

TCD · 13 August 2010, 23:10

Btw : In the folder 'Collection/Coverdisk/Amiga Format' on the File Server you can now find :
Amiga Format #053 (1993-10-28)(Future Publishing)(GB)(Disk 2 of 2)[Nov 1993][Extended ADF].zip
An EAB exclusive

WOW! That's a filename which gives it the prestige it deserves!

BTW, what will you call the 880K version, if I manage to create one?

TCD · 13 August 2010, 23:20

Amiga Format #053 (1993-10-28)(Future Publishing)(GB)(Disk 2 of 2)[Nov 1993].zip

antonvaltaz · 13 August 2010, 23:28

<p>Is it worth putting it on AMR at some point to download as well?</p>

prowler · 13 August 2010, 23:34

The 880K version, yes.

Interesting fact: Action Replay 3 totally ignores the error and images Graftgold protection perfectly so you can write it back down as standard AmigaDOS tracks.

Hi Galahad,

I'm new to the Action Replay 3 features. Can the Graftgold protection be removed simply by using the DCOPY command, or is it necessary to use a succession of RT / WT commands?

Hi Angus,

I may have that disk in my collection too. I'll have a look for you.

Just came accross it on ebay

antonvaltaz · 14 August 2010, 17:31

Love the fact the seller 'forgot' to mention it's just a playable demo...

I have actually found two of these disks in my collection now, and one of them was in the last box of disks you gave me, Steve!

However, they both appear to be corrupted to some extent. Both disks bring back the Kickstart screen when I try to boot my A500 with them, and so do copies of them made using the Burst Nibble feature of my Action Replay MKIII.

@Angus: I'm sorry, I don't have the Nov 1993 Amiga The One disk which features the Uridium 2 playable demo.

Galahad/FLT · 14 August 2010, 23:13

I don't suppose anyone has the coverdisk from Amiga Format 49 do they?

Galahad/FLT · 14 August 2010, 23:17

Found it on AMR

TCD · 14 August 2010, 23:17

What about these : http://amr.abime.net/issue_205_coverdisks ?
