That's the problem with ebay, jokers selling 'copies' as originals! That dump can be checked by dlfrsilver and he can tell if it's an original that's been modified or a copy written on an Amiga drive!!

Ah, it's the european Gremlin version, not the U.S. Gold one.
It even says so in-game, why didn't I notice this before. *facepalm* [edit] According to info at whdload site, it's an unprotected re-release. https://www.whdload.de/games/Technocop.html Quote:
The old one was installed with WoW cracked version. [edit 2] WHDLoad version replaced. I even cleaned the highscores, it's a "virgin" install now. Last edited by Retroplay; 09 May 2024 at 22:13. |

Abaddon has a dump that appears original (all tracks index-aligned), is virus free and also has a longtrack protection (possibly HLS), it's from the Action Amiga Compilation by Gremlin, uploaded to The Zone!
Seems the bootblock contains the protection check as installing a 1.3 bootblock allows an ADF to boot! Identified in VirusZ as the 'Motor Massacre' bootblock which is in the same compilation! |

I dumped my Battle Squadron disk to SCP with GW. The disk looks an early one with plain B/W printed label. The dump loads fine in WinUAE. Converting to IPF with D-A it gives a T15.1 Unrecognized (*Unformatted) error with "Battle Squadron" format used? The IPF also loads fine. In HxC the SCP track and surrounding tracks look the same but this track has a few red bars above it.

T0.0: AmigaDOS Long Track (103300 Bits) T0.1-79.1: Battle Squadron T80.0-83.1: Unformatted T0.0: AmigaDOS T0.1-79.1: Battle Squadron T80.0-83.1: Unformatted You may need to redump it as 15.1 does contain data. The official IPFs also show track 15.1 as good |

When I created the IPF from your latest dumps (Battle Squadron_5_revs.scp and Battle SquadronA.scp), they decoded correctly without the -P option and I was able to play the 1st level. Not sure the issue you're seeing. |

I'll check the WinUAE settings. Thanks EDIT: I reset the WinUAE Display settings and it's working now. Thank You for your insight.

Shouldn't need to reset any settings, NTSC mode is a tick box in the Quickstart menu! If you tick it then NTSC is set automatically in the Display settings, probably that was the issue as WinUAE remembers the state of the NTSC tick box.

Thanks BarryB. Yes the NTSC box was ticked from previous trialing NTSC releases. Unticked now.

My copy of Outzone from the Metallic Power Collection isn't working, and I'd like to know if it is the same disk structure as the standard retail release. SCP in the zone if anyone can check it. TIA
Edit: Checked the SCP against Lankhor version and it's the same. Last edited by Snoopy1234; 31 May 2024 at 17:00. |

Thx Abaddon I have just tried to convert a working SCP from a Lankhor disk (not the Matallic Power comp uploaded) to IPF with D-A and got 150 Unformatted tracks and a file of 75k. IDK what it is, the SCP is the same as the SPS IPF when compared in HxC visually.

How do I state the input file in Disk Analyse when it is a Stream 00.0.raw folder?
