seems to be corrupt, but no bootblock virus.

the BS1 crack is a nonDOS trackdisk release, probably it got infected and cleaned afterwards, but still wiped the original bootblock required to start the disk, had this several times sadly, so it could be legit, must check with DiskX

I can send it by mail to someone who can recover it ?

You are welcome to send it to me for recovery if you wish.

(Not wishing to tread on dlfrsilver's toes if he's able to do it for you of course.

)

dirkies · 23 August 2012, 13:41

well, DLFRsilver or Prowler, let me know who wants to do it

Someone with a 5.25" drive hooked on a Kryoflux may have more chance of recovering it I suppose...

ps: and strange a trainer version for Lotus I is so rare (??)

dlfrsilver · 23 August 2012, 14:06

I'm not sure if my 5.25 drive is working

so Prowler, you have your luck here

That's what I was thinking.

Uploaded Dyter07 1 Disk version by Paranoimia, +1 and a tip that says:

If you hit "G", "I", "B" at same time whilst playing ....
"W" will provide you with full weaponry

So is this really a +2?

no, its inbuilt cheat

BarryB · 23 August 2012, 22:13

So probably not the version he wants then!

dirkies · 27 August 2012, 16:52

that could be the version I was after as I could not find any other 1disk version, and maybe I added an extra + on the label due to this inbuilt cheat. Thanks BarryB!

Your Powerstyx+ 100% floppy and the others you sent with it were received here this morning, thankyou.

I will start dumping them tomorrow.

and it will work

Don't hesitate if you need help to recover and create disks ADF & eADF

contact me

Hi Denis,

I missed that you had posted that PowerCopy cracked must be used to image the Powerstyx+ 100% floppy.

Can you help me with this, please?

If I dump the track file images on my A1200 using PowerCopy, could you compile them into an eADF in WinUAE if I email them to you or upload them?

A-Ha! So I was right when, a few years ago, I had a discussion with Denis about such releases (he, and some others, didn't believe such releases did exist. I mean: cracked disks with some nonDOS tracks) and dumped some of them for the community...

we could compare the broken floppy version of Powerstyx on the scoopex iso's on the ftp with mine, as I still think the broken ADF on the scoopex ISO is just missing the bootblock. I wonder what happens if the BS1 bootblock is put on this broken ADF?!

BarryB · 03 September 2012, 00:18

Got a copy of Flying Shark, doesn't seem to trained as there is no cracktro just loads to the game, also the bootblock says: FLYING SHARK IMPORTED BY TRILOGY USE NORMAL KICKSTART

Uploaded to the Zone.

dirkies · 03 September 2012, 19:21

thanks BarryB, but I have the untrained versions, I am after the same disk as the one I lost, meaning with the trainer.

ps: Weird a classic as Lotus I is so rare with the trainer!?

I have already confirmed that such releases existed back in the day in that very thread. I thought it was clear already.

yes please

I had a lot of "the band" releases as a buddy went often there to get the latest stuff, I assume most trainers I am after were by The Band.
