Amiga File Server - Page 57

While I'm new to this thread of conversation, you should be able to extract ISO files with winrar or 7z. Been doing that for years.

All the ISOs in ~Uploads\NeoHippie2016\Raritites can not be extracted though. Neither with winrar or 7z. Thought that it might be an amiga format issue or someting so I tested some other ISO files in \Commodore_Amiga\CD and they all extract the individual files fine.

Example:
"\~Uploads\NeoHippie2016\Raritites\AmigaEmulatorCD.iso: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

Retro-Nerd · 30 January 2016, 23:02

Yep, they are damaged somehow. There is nothing magical in CD Images. You can't mount or acess them (the ones in Raritites).

NeoHippie2016 · 30 January 2016, 23:06

Must i all of them Re-Upload? I try do download some of them and Burn them with Nero and Astroburn Lite... (Sorry again for my worst english!)

Iso is nothing more than a container. So with programs like PowerIso you can practically unpack (or extract if you prefer that term) them and you get the plain Data. Same thing as if you would mount it and copy the data manually to HD.

Cant confirm. Iso here opens fine. Extract and mount works. Maybe download was corrupted. You should try again.

Retro-Nerd · 30 January 2016, 23:52

It doesn't work for mai, Turran, me but for you? Sorry, can't believe it. Are you sure you tried the mentioned ISOs in Raritites?

Thalion · 30 January 2016, 23:57

Believe it or not. I upload the extracted content for you on the fileserver, so see for yourself.

EDIT: Uploaded the mentioned things plus i resaved the ISO so it may be compatible now to whatever program you use.
You can find them in my DIR under uploads.

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2016, 00:02

Ah, Ok. Isobuster can extract it to a new ISO that is mountable and accessible with known software. This shouldn't happen though in the first place.

edit: As i thought. Ambermoon is a pirate copy of the unreleased English version. What a lame bunch of loser!

NeoHippie2016 · 31 January 2016, 00:13

I`ve downloaded Goal 2000 & Ambermoon and tried Nero Express and Astroburn Lite and don`t works. Then i downloaded Power Iso (thanks for the info, Thalion ;-) and run the unregistered Version. It works! However, if one of it (Disk or CD Image) don`t works, please, feel free, to contact me. Then i look, what i can do!

NeoHippie2016 · 31 January 2016, 00:19

As i read and therefore saw on Ebay UK, it exists another Version of Ambermoon CD (incl. Amberstar). This Version i am searching for, also Labyrinth of Time and Goal 2000 (different Cover), beside other CDs. Hhm, for example: I am a big fan of Münchener Freiheit (a famous german Group), Gregorian - Masters of Chant, Oliver Shanti, ... I am not only owns the originals (Albums, Singles, ... on CD, LP, MC, ....), also i am "owner" of some Bootlegs. Without Bootlegs and Promos is my collection incomplete. Do you know, what i mean? ;-)

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2016, 00:23

No, actually not. Pirate copies sold for money aren't collectables. Nobody should support this crap.

wanderer · 31 January 2016, 00:35

Now that you mentioned .iso files, there's Annex - Back For The Future (the theme of Amiga) on the server as an .iso, which I'd love to hear. It's an audio CD, right? Now, an audio CD cannot be "converted" to .iso and indeed, the file is broken. Perhaps it's an MP3 CD but still doesn't work. Anyone has a good rip of the CD, hopefully in lossless format?

NeoHippie2016 · 31 January 2016, 00:47

I have the originals of Amberstar and Ambermoon. In case of the Giana Sisters Trilogy must 2 Versions exist. I have both of them. The first contains the programs Giana, HardNHeavy, Crazy Sue 1 & 2 (see HOL). The second Version (which i uploaded) contains the same games AND Ruffian & Cedric. I am also owner of original Cedric as Disk and CD. Don`t Panic! ;-) ...

It's a maxi single. Should be ripped to WAV or lossless compressed to FLAC. ISO format is rubbish here. It's not a MP3 data CD as it seems. Even Isobuster can't read it properly.

So AmigaEmulatorCD.iso opened fine with IsoBuster. Wonder why the modern virtual drive systems barf at it. Well, it's 20 years old, Win95 time.

I'd say somehow the image wasn't formatted in a way the VirualDrive tools need it. So could be a problem of the Nero Version used to create them. I think they where created with Nero i remember this thread correctly?

One Image is needed to be read again by the owner though. ZodesCD.iso contains illegal windows filenames and though PowerIso can't save that one properly. I guess the easiest way here would be to use either an imaging tool on Amiga or reimage it with CloneCD or a similar tool.

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2016, 14:59

Imgburn. The best and it's freeware.

I'm accessing the file directly from the FTP. No downloading =)
(got access to the physical FTP server)

But I guess its a winrar / 7z issue then.

NeoHippie2016 · 31 January 2016, 15:20

Can you guys send me an message, which files do not work? I will try Another Program to create Images

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2016, 15:36

Surely all .iso images in Raritites. Use the above Imgburn.
