TOSEC Amiga Correction Thread

[chip]

This is just a general note

I understand TOSEC is followed by different people so, this can happen

But the "doscopy" annotation is treated with too many tags

First of all sometimes a disk is doscopy but TOSEC doesn't report it

But, especially, 3 different tags are used for this kind of disk: a, b and m

I really think that it should be treated always in the same way

About the right tag, well, i can't help since i really don't know the meaning of doscopy

Anyway, this is just a report of what i spotted

This is of cours true, this is a heritage of early TOSEC releases
, a time before ADF-Workshop where it was not that easy to recognize.

No , either [m] or [b]
Probably this [a] named sets are
leftovers of early TOSEC releases too.

Once again!?
A Doscopy writes data to rootblock(880), no problem for DOS-Disks, thats why the Disks are named [m doscopy]
but on NDOS disks a Doscopy overwrites DATA, so [b doscopy].

Thanks for explanation

Hi jrom and thanks for your suggestions

But how to rename this disk?
- Genesia (1993)(Mindscape)(Disk 1 of 3)(Configuration Disk)[cr BLH].adf ?
- Genesia (1993)(Mindscape)(Disk 1 of 3)(Configuration Disk)[cr CSL][f Loader BLH].adf ?
- Something completely different?

I prefer the first to preserve the relation to the third disk to use (maybe remove the crystal intro?).

The other CSL disks 1 and 3 should be marked as [b crack].

The CSL Config disk isn't bad and the Backlash version isn't really a fix either...
The new "Loader" file changes the "startup-sequence" of disk 2 to launch the fix patch
Because of the dependency with disk 2, I named the Config disk:
Genesia (1993)(Mindscape)(Disk 1 of 3)(Configuration Disk)[cr CSL][f crack Backlash]

Thanks but I always prefer to integrate a version that already exists :
> Softgallo Team 12 - A07741A
BED0B01B

> Softgallo Team 12 - A07743C
0768A345

To use abbreviations of a group name, we never based ourselves on the filenames, but on the use of the abbreviation by the group in its own realizations

@Crashdisk

[mai]

@Crashdisk
not that busy at the moment with TOSEC?
formerly we have edited posts, such as
...fixed
..added

Its
beneficial
if members have the feeling it is worth to post corrections.

Crashdisk has applied corrections, he is waiting for next ones!

[Crashdisk]

I do not have much time but I am always interested in your suggestions ^^

@mai
It might be interesting to make a list of files that would need to be moved. You spot any of them?

Commodore Amiga - Demos - Packs (TOSEC-v2018-03-08_CM)

Drug, The - Issue 04 (1995-02)(Freezers)
and other Issues
probably needs moving to

Commodore Amiga - Packmags (TOSEC-v2016-12-19_CM)

However, would be meaningful, if i take over Packmags section too!

Hum...ok! It's done ;-)
Tell me when you get the file, I'll destroy it from the server

Just spotted this one in the Demo \ Various section:
Speed (1993-04-10)(Sim Productions)(Disk 1 of 4)

Well, actually, the 4th disk is not used
I tried different configurations but demo always stop after the 3rd disk is inserted

So it seems a 3 disk demo set
Can someone confirm it ?

Thanks, i will try that !

[chip]

Yep, it works
But it's surely weird the operation you must do .... quick and precise

[jrom]

It isn't called 'speed' for nothing ;-)

[chip]

I probably found a dupe in the TOSEC archive

This one

http://grandis.nu/eabsearch/search.p...xclude=&limit=

as you can see the same demo is present both under "Animation And Videos" and under the "Various" section

That's all !

Its not that helpful to post any information based on assumptions!

Just use current TOSEC release!
Both are in

Commodore Amiga - Demos - Animations and Videos (TOSEC-v2018-03-05_CM)

in current release!

[chip]

Ok .... understood !
