Creating your own IPFs

[dlfrsilver]

I have finally found a copy not modified of the game Blue and the Gray (Nord & Sud) from Impressions released in 1993. The full archive is in the flux folder SPSRAW in the EAB FTP.

Your "copy" :



Yours is seen as a copy. So i would advise you to fix your disk with the official IPF made from a pristine original disk in IPF.

Curious why it doesn't recognize the tracks. My decoder recognizes the tracks for Snoopy1234's dump as well as both official IPF's. Will have to take a closer look at the format to see if there is something before the sync or the data. I did play the 1st 10 levels of the IPF made from Snoopy1234's dump then I got bored.

Can I send you an IPF from disk anaylsis made from the official IPF and see if it is recognized?

Of course Keith, please send it

Converted a SCP of my GGS to ADF and checked bootblock in ADF Workshop by Crashdisk. The Official IPF [2945] and my SCP dump have the same bootblock CRC32: $F1691041.

The check as is it : an original, or a copy doesn't pass by this.

Of course, if you have written the IPF 2945, it's all good.

Thanks Denis. My GGS is the same as the High-Score Bug SPS [2500] version and the same as AmigaFan has in this thread: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php...rs+SPS+IPF+Bug

Interestingly mr.vince in the above thread has written SPS 2500 to disk and detailed it as a copy....

Were two versions released of the disk ever confirmed? I assume corrected SPS [2945] was released by SPS later?

[dlfrsilver]

yes as it was said in the thread link you pasted......

Is it possible to create an ipf of the English version of Goblins 3? Or has anyone tried to do something like that?

The original ENG Gobliiins 3 adf's are in the zone files from 2020.

The game seems to have manual protection so ADF's would normally suffice
There are untested IPF's with disk analyse to test in the zone.

Thanks a lot Snoopy, that was fast
The game seems to work fine on Winuae.

Ok, today i got a very rare game from dinamic in its spanish version :

Thanks to Luis Martinez, but also Codetapper, who will make the whdload slave
