I can recreate the protection track and verify it passing. It could be something special with track 16 as that is the same track the has issues on the other raw dump. If I get some free time I will dig into it further.

Don't waste your valuable time for it. New dump from a fresh copy is comming...

Hi Abaddon,
Just uploaded to TheZone alternate version of ABC Chemii published by TimSoft:
ABC Chemii (1995)(TimSoft)(PL)[a]

It's decode properly(?) in disk-utilities but won't work in WinUAE. Could you take a look?

I took a quick look at this, unfortunately it would be a lot of work to add support for all possible versions of this game/application due to the fact that the offsets for the protection are stored at track 67.0. Currently disk-analyze reads tracks sequentially and it is not possible to read track 67.0 to get the offset then go back and decode the tracks. I will add support for this version. Will upload an IPF to the zone this weekend.

At least for za zelazna brama the offset were store on track 0.0, so it was possible to support all variations of this one.

Update: This was giving me the same random protection failures on the same 2 tracks as Inferior. I did a little rework and it appears that both this version of ABC Chem II and Inferior are working. Will do a bit more testing before providing the IPF's.

Thank you a lot.
Checked "Inferior" and all is working fine. Game is ridiculously hard but we have some level codes on HOL so i was able to test it up to Level 3 Stage 1.
"ABC Chemii" is also working. One thing to note. Game name contains 2x "i", it's not two "II"

If you'll find some time please look on eTeacher. Info posted earlier:

I shut off the collision detection off and went through Inferior. The ending message as translated by google

Wow! It's really strange that you ended up with this game, considering that none of the authors even got halfway through. It seems to me that you are the only one who has succeeded... or at least one of the few.

Hi Abaddon,

I just tested Your Unofficial IPF for Inferior game.

Under WINUAE no problems, the game start correctly.

On my real A500 with my Gotek HXC with converted files in HFEv3, I have a problem with the Disk 2 ... the game never start and the gotek drive swap between tracks ... I will add my HFEv3 files in the Zone.


Please could You have a look ?


Many thanks


Pascal

The swapping between the tracks means the protection failed. I will take a look. I may have to write it back to disk and test on a real amiga.
