Copy Protection
Hi there,
Is there a web site where I can look up 'copy protection' games?  I tried to install Arcade Pool from an adf to a 3.5'' disk and it doesn't work. TIA |

Where did you get the ADF from? Is it from an original disk?

Then I think the image (or the ADF writing tool) must be broken. Try to get another. It should just work from an ADF since it will already have any copy protection removed (cracked). I would also say it might be your machine config, but Arcade Pool work on OCS, ECS and AGA...

How big is the ADF file? 901120 bytes?
Also, did you try a different floppy disk to save it to? They are notoriously unreliable, especially nowadays... How does it fail? |

I have tried now 5 disk and they all failed. At the end of writing the ADF file to disk the disk drive just stops. Checking the 3.5'' disk it say NODOS disk. Same happen with writing the ADF to FF0: or FF1: or .. . Must be the file itself no my disks than.

Maybe try a different ADF-writer proggy.
Another possibility: An error in transfer of the ADF -> Amiga? |
