DMS Problems - Please Help
Hello Guys,
I have just found a lot of Amiga Stuffs of a friend of mine BBS that are not in Tosec. But the problem is that a lot of files .dms that I try to trasfer on floppy disk do not work and I have this error: Can't open inputfile low.DMS Checksum Error T:00 U:11264 R:8 P:337 L:8 O:00E6 N:0158 I am using DMS V1.1 I was able to unpack only 15 disks but I have more than 11,000 files. I used DMS write namefile.dms low 0 high 79 Can you help me to tell how to unpack all these other files? Would be good bcoz I have a lot of stuff not in Tosec!! Help me please! |

@dannypet:
I'm sorry to say that checksum errors suggest either that the files were archived with a later version of DMS than the one you are using or that the files are corrupted On the other hand, the syntax I would use is: DMS write filename to DF0: (low 0 high 79 is the default and .dms is implied) Let me know if you wish to try a later version and I will upload one for you Last edited by prowler; 28 September 2008 at 21:55. |

Well, I have found a DMS V1.03 and it says I need at least DMS V1.1 to unpack those files. But the problem is that I just have DMS V1.1 Turbo the one available on Aminet. Should I use another version? Let me know please and many thanks Last edited by W4r3DeV1L; 28 September 2008 at 15:02. |

I see you made the right choice. IMHO this is the ultimate version of the DMS archiver, and the version I would have uploaded for you. Have fun! |

If your uploading them somewhere, would you mind leaving them as DMS files. BBS ad's etc.. are exciting for some of us. |

you are right! there is nothing cooler than watch bbs adds but those file where stored by a collector from floppy to save space and he putted a password. So it's better that I make .adf from that! |

Dms V1.03?
Hi dannypet,
Could you upload the DMS V1.03 that you found to the Zone for me please? I don't seem to have that version. If you don't have it any more, could you let me know where you downloaded it from instead? Thanks! |

Why not... ?
Hi guys,
I have a question, perhaps stupid... Why don't use a normal copier to copy a .dms (or .wrp or others supported by WinUAE) to .adf? For disk-compressed dms's (for .dms files containing files the method below is not possible, obviously), I used this method (in WinUAE): - load a copier (e.g. X-Copy Pro) - load the .dms as df0: - load a blank .adf as df1: - copy the whole disk from df0: to df1: (X-Copy Pro let me see if there are "read" errors, so I will know if the dms and adf are correct) Am I doing something wrong, or this is a good method? Massimo P.S. if the .dms archive has a password, has WinUAE problems loading it as df0: ??? |

Hi Supamax,
welcome to the EAB Your method works, but with the DMS program you can make a batch file which converts multiple disks at once. For the DMS password protection have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=479700&postcount=9 |

The DMS code in WinUAE is taken from xDMS, the two programs will provide identical results, the difference (as TheCyberDruid mentions) is that you can process DMS files in batches using xDMS but you must process each disk manually using WinUAE. No problem at all, WinUAE has a bruteforce DMS cracker built in, this is why a password protected DMS file causes WinUAE to freeze for a few seconds. |

I didn't know that WinUAE automatically decrypted protected .dms files!
Good to know, thank you! By the way, if I have a .dms containing files only (not a disk image), how can I extract the single files? Where I can find the DMS program you were writing about? Does exist a PC utility which can view/extract a .dms archive?? Perhaps DOpus? Thanks a lot! :-) Massimo |
