I would like to get disk images, to use with my 8086 PowerPC / Amiga compo, with Gotek.
|
So I have tended to get all my old DOS games from GOG.com and then extract the files I need to run on real hardware or an emulation machine. I mean, I could get the original floppy disks, but the in the DOS world, my games were always running off the hard drive.
Is this so you can have the experience of installing the game to hard drive? |

I just thought that disk images would be handy, as I have a Gotek. I managed to get Power PC work with GVP HD8+, I do have also a hard drive. Main problem is that I haven't found any other way to transfer files to Hard Drive than copy them to 720kb floppy images and then copy them to HD. Disk images would be most elegant and fastest way to try different games. |
It's highly unlikely there ever will be a "complete" floppy collection. So if you want to have access to all games, it's probably better to concentrate on figuring out how to transfer normal games to your hard drive. I'm pretty sure there is some way, maybe better asking in a specialised place such as Vogons.
I have the permission to upload Gruby's collection, but am currently waiting for the new version which I was told will appear soon. But, again, the workable floppies in it constitute only a fraction of MS-DOS library (hard to say really, but there are probably between 500-1000 games). |

I downloaded it already. |
I forgot that I actually have the TGOD collection. Have just looked at numerous random games in it and they were all .img files.

So it was user error after all :) Seems there are well over 2000 individual games in TGOD, thus making it the ultimate source for floppy images.
If it's only individual entries on archive (no one big torrent/zip for everything) you can use SyncCollection downloader and I think there's also a similar Chrome extension. |

Sorry, floppy images are not available for download. Where did you download that collection? I was pointed out to archive org, where collection I found was full of stream files. [edit] Found it. Previously I did seek a collection wich has those stream files. |

I'm trying to put it on archive.org atm, but uploading big files there is not for the faint of heart...

Thank you, Mr Bot. Actually, I need to upload it again, this version has a lot of duplicates. Be a day or two.

Did Gruby say anything about the origin of these images? Do they come from his (an his friends) own collection, or are they images from different sources collated together? |
