@Rissy,

Thanks for the SCP dump images.

I've taken a look and can see that, firstly, these are not original game images but cracked game images.

Your first image "Silly Putty d1.scp" seem to have an error in it that probably explains why it does not work in emulation:

The fact that these are cracked game disk images is important when talking about Greaseweazle. You can't write these images back as they are. They need to be converted to a format that Greaseweazle can use.

You will find that if you convert your SCP images to ADF, using HxC Floppy Emulator software, you can then use Greaseweazle to write the ADF file to disk, and if the image and the disk are OK then it should work:

Having said that, you might as well use the already available ADF images of these cracked games in the first place, rather than taking an SCP dump of your disks.

Note also that you can use Greaseweazle to dump straight to ADF for any AmigaDOS based disks - just make sure the filename ends in .adf rather than .scp.
