ST/Amiga Format coverdisks - Page 2

Hungry Horace · 08 July 2008, 19:24

i have some, although not all of these disks.

i might be persuaded to dump them for SPS if no one else does? i dont think i have those missing ones to scan or dump though

Only one of the disk images (disk 10) has the 2x size option in the corner. Any reason?

You should be able to enter the missing information about disk contents now too

I would do it, but AMR is not Wiki based

If the scans are 320 pixels or less, it allows an automatic double size option to see them. The other scans are bigger so the 2x doesn't appear.

BTW I can't see that AMR will ever be Wiki based! If people want to help, they can join the team and edit the data.

is there any special way of dumping these disks, just for th ADF on AMR?

i just made an ADF of Issue10 coverdisk, because i wanted to check something on the cybernoid 2 demo.

seems to work fine, so i was wondering why it had never been added to AMR?

I wonder if there's a similar coverdisk preserving project going on in ST land? Would be nice to know who to send dual-format disks to in the hope they'd be able to dump both formats.

These have already been preserved in ST format as I have already said.

Hungry Horace · 14 June 2009, 17:44

It confuses me too, especially since some of the missing coverdisks can actually be found at Nth Dimension, Amiga Coverdisks and the TOSEC set. Maybe they only accept fresh new dumps or something.

And if it's a case of a disk being oversized slightly, then why not just use a crop tool to cut off the excess?
