Nitro

Hi,
I didn't realise until today there is no IPF of Nitro. Is it still due to bad mastering?? Or are all overwritten with the high scores?
Thanks.

There are 4 Psygnosis Amiga games which use a very special encoding which would require special programming to support them as ipf. Nitro is one of them.
See http://www.softpres.org/wip:2003-04-04 for details.

Wow, that's interesting.
So even with Kryo we still wouldn't be able to dump Psygnosis recording format disks?

They are perfectly well dumped and have been even with Amiga.
The problem is that I never support data that is blindly stored in a file - and those games require a special encoding/decoding implemented in the analyser and ipf library.
Very small return for quite some work, so it has to wait.
