Great!! Welcome on forum

[BarryB]

Uploaded an Extended ADF of UZY-TEK 048 and unofficial IPF of Prawo Jazdy v1.0 to The Zone!

Prawo Jazdy (2 Disk version) has Disk 1 corrupt so can upload a 'fixed' ADF of Disk 1 and an IPF of Disk 2?

[BarryB]

Also uploaded to The Zone a JPG + PDF of the F1-Tonado codes, X axis is across and Y axis is Down!!

Pitagoras 2.0 Matura (1994)(Twin Spark Soft)

American Tag Team Wrestling - ADOS + Manual Protection, original IPF #2211 is ADOS + Copylock (same as my own copy).

CJ's Elephant Antics is identical to IPF #0832, an ADF of both versions comparing the DOS tracks is identical using ADFcompare v0.2 that Exodous wrote, both use Copylock and the disk is index-aligned in HxC so I guess they used the same duplicated disk for the Polish release?

F1-Tornado is just ADOS + Manual Codes

F-117A is ADOS + Manual Protection

International Tennis - Looks to be a duplicated disk with track 0.0 mofified for the manual protection, tracks 6 to 74 on side 1 has wrong head information as it repoprts head 0 but should be head 1, same on my copy from the Hits for Six Volume 8 release!!

Jaguar XJ220 - Another disk that seems duplicated, uses Core Design MFM + Manual Protection. Disk 2 won't decode track 0.0 but that track shows unformatted in the Official IPF #1200!

Mean Machine - Another duplicated disk, index-aligned + Copylock, no Official / Unofficial IPF to compare!

Ortografia - ADOS

Ortografia 3 - ADOS

Pitogoras 2.0 - ADOS

Preludium Ortografia - ADOS + Manual Protection, dump is identical to the previous dump when compared with ADFcompare v0.2

Silent Service II - ADOS + Manual Protection. Disks duplicated, both disks index-aligned so appear unmodified!

All disks checked with VirusZ where possible and appear Virus Free, no files/sectors are damaged!!

Uploaded all unofficlal IPF's + Codes to The Zone

Thank you a lot for Extended ADF.


In my opinion both disk of "Prawo Jazdy" was modified. This is what ADF-Workshop showing:

So in my opinion creating IPFs is pointless. Besides there's also no manual and i doubt another copy will ever surfaced. Before uicr0Bee dump i had no idea about this soft and there's no single trace about it in any polish magazine.
So for now best shoot is ross release.

Some will say preserving Polish software is pointless anyway due to the way they were copied, mostly on Amigas and not professional duplicators so the authenticity can't be verified! So Polish software preservation will always be 'as is' unless multiple copies appear to compare against!!

VirusZ didn't pick up any files/sectors damaged by Saddam for both the 1 Disk version and 2 Disk Version of Prawo Jazdy that was recently dumped?

I've created ADF's of the 2 Disk Prawo Jazdy so it loads now, close as we'll get to a 'proper' version, uploaded to The Zone so just need the manual codes extracting!!

I know that our team effort is in some way pointless but we're trying "all what we can" to preserve those obscure titles

[grafpatrick]

Please continue your hard work with the polish games. I appreciateit. Thank you sooo much!

That's whay I said preserving Polish software will be "as is" until you get multiple dumps to compare!

One example is a title like Preludium-Ortografia which had 2 separate dumps that were identical, so 2 different dumps showed that copy wasn't modified from it's initial release so you can safely say Preludium-Ortografia is as 'genuine' as you can get.

Unofficial IPF in The Zone, Disk label suggests it needs Kickstart 2.1+

file_id.diz says it's v2.5!

Checked with VirusZ and nothing found!

I did. I finally got around to re-dumping several games that had issues with the original dump. Still have about 60 more games to clean and re-dump. I spent a lot of time trying to get Quasar to dump 100%. I finally got it down to 2 bad tracks each with one bad sector. I tried 5 different drives. I sent the dump to Denis, who sent back a repaired dump. I added the protection decoder to disk-analyse (haven't update GitHub yet).

Main thing is you had a rest and hopefully a good Christmas/New Year

I've stopped dumping stuff as I'm just sick of cleaning disks at the moment, it seems everything I buy of ebay lately just needs so much cleaning it's made me 'rage quit' on cleaning disks
