Repository/preservation of flux images (.scp, KF raw, etc.)

Ah, that explains the down/uploading =)

I asked a GM to move the thread over to the file server area

Yes let's have them. Some people have no kryo or greasleweasle.

Moved a bunch of Amiga Action and game .raw files to incoming.

Currently, it is only for the Kryoflux, but with minimal changes it could be adapted to Greaseweazle as well. The script itself prompts for info on the game such as name, year, publisher, retail or budget, platform, place of purchase, etc. Then create a directory and writes a txt file with the info to the the directory, before running a command line to dump the disk. Could be ported to linux shell as well.

I have already modified the bat file to be used with greasleweasle.

With which interface are they generated?

I have a Kryofux card and a Supercard Pro, but normally use the Kryoflux. May possibly pick up a GreaseWeazle in the future.

Thanks . So, Denis, what should I/we do?
.scp, KF raw or both?
I mean: having a Greaseweazle, I can do one or the other, or both.

Maybe having the KF raw is better, because if I do multiple dumps and one has more good tracks than the others, I can pick some tracks here and some there in their folders, obtaining the best "mix" possible?

Would be great to have that on the file server too

No idea sadly.

Well if you want to put both types in the archive, feel free. The only important thing is to be sure that the dumps are clean.

KryoFlux dumps incoming to my user upload folder.
Dats by FakeShemp can be downloaded from TOSEC forums.
https://www.tosecdev.org/forum/error...lux-raw-dumps/

Obviously all Workbench related stuff wont be uploaded here.

Perfect Let me know when it is ready to be moved.

[Retroplay]

It's done

[TCD]

And moved

[Retroplay]

I see you moved them to Flux_SCP.
These are KryoFlux stream files, not SuperCard Pro.

[TCD]

Flux_SCP stands for Flux & SCP files. Well I just threw them in there when I was cleaning up upload folders i don't have a clue about those, that's why they are in the incoming folder so the experts can sort them

Do you mean any Workbench floppies, because of copyright reasons?

Maybe a name like KryoFlux_SCP would be more explicative .

I would like to upload some dumps of mine, too. But they are not verified by Denis, and/or could be (or probably will) duplicates of existing dumps done by others.
What should I do... pass them to Denis first, or upload them to the incoming folder and then Denis will download from there and do his inspections?

Did you make yourself all of them?
Or are they coming from various sources?

Sure, why not I changed the folder name.

[Supamax]

I was also thinking (maybe we can talk & think about it):
instead of creating a folder for each image type, why not creating a folder for each game?

Pro: all images of a game (KT, SCP, CT etc.) will be under the same folder, and it will be easier to test/find/choose/discard some of them.
Cons: a lot of folders

EDIT: hmmm, maybe it's not that easy, since they come from different sources/contributors... some verified and some don't, I suppose
