Hark! A TOSEC mistake be revealed.
Was doing some intensive examining work with the Brian the Lion ADFs when I noticed a perculiarity in the process.
It seems this seemingly innocent little tyke: Code:
Brian the Lion (1994)(Psygnosis)(Disk 3 of 3).adf Two things you should know: 1) There appear to be a lot of disk block errors. 2) It doesn't match any of the PoC ADFs in the current TOSEC. So come on, who wishes to own up? |

This is such a disk, which i would remove from TOSEC.(but i can not)
You really dont know, if it should be a "Brian" disk or a "POC" disk. Anyway the disk get [b] flag. |

Don't much feel like making another thread, so I thought I should discuss another disk also...
Code:
Captain Dynamo (1992-07-17)(Codemasters).adf Funnily enough, I'm wondering if this is the same ADF (as well as the James Pond beta) that I contributed on this very board almost a decade ago. |

What's that, Lassie? Another case of mistaken identity? Oh, the humanity!
Code:
Blastar (1993)(Core)(Disk 3 of 3)[cr FLT].adf While we're on the subject of Blastar... Code:
Blastar (1993)(Core)(Disk 2 of 3)[cr Triton].adf But then that leaves one wondering where the second disk for the Triton crack could be... |

ad "Captain Dynamo":
if the [cr] tag is missing (like here), it MAY be assumed it's a version featuring a protection which needs some additional resources to bypass: code lists, code wheel, original manual, ... and the like. The name is fine. Quote:
To prove this, see certain "disk 2"'s and "disk 3"'s of IPF releases which turned out to exactly match those of TOSEC "crack" sets. |

Looked at the Blastar/Woody's World disk again, and after comparing with the Woody's World disks currently on TOSEC, I'm now convinced that this is in fact the third disk for the Paradox crack of WW. Glad I could solve another case.
