btw,
I have reading powercopy docs and there is a nice surprise says there that powercopy can use a floppy drive with speed motor control instead the hardware device, so basically having connected one of these drives on the Amiga we can write long tracks or RNC without the powercopy hardware device but which models of floppy drives have speed motor control? I think I will make a new thread about this |

I think Maverick had a drive with speed motor control - anyone know how this are made.....
Id be interested if someone could do some conclusive tests with the original Cyclone wired cartridge - Ive probably asked this before ........... |

Huh? SYBIL makes an exact copy (or image file) of the disk using a single drive, and supports long tracks, weakbits, strongbits (no flux areas), etc. It uses PAULA to accomplish this.

That's not true. Supercard Ami, Supercard Ami II, and SYBIL can all copy Turrican I/II/III - and SYBIL does it using PAULA.

We're talking about writing "disk images" on Real Amiga or creating disk images with Amiga that can be used on WinUae
PowerCopy is a copier like the original Supercard Ami but uses its own style images. Most of these style copiers Supercard Ami, Cyclone etc can copy such games but AFAIK only powercopy can create images. Unfortunately the PowerCopy HardWare cartridge is rare so this also limits to writing protections the standard Amiga drive can write. Last edited by Retro1234; 19 September 2017 at 21:39. |

That's how the protection works on those 3 games. A standard Floppy drive + Paula is unable to write such long tracks. Sybil can do it, it's written inside WWARP manual, nothing new under the sun |

I just say that without an external device, you can't copy or replicate those disks. Nothing more |

I was researching on the web and it seems the only floppy drives with speed motor control or variable speed are the old MAC 800k floppy drives
but those floppy drives were very expensive, even today are expensive and perhaps the reason because SYBIL was done, because the SYBIL was cheapeast than a MAC drive I wonder which floppy drive+motor speed control can work with powercopy, the powercopy' author don't specify nothing which model, which brand???? wtf ? is there a way to connect a MAC 800k floppy drive to the AMiga? |

http://nfggames.com/X68000/Documenta...5%20Floppy.pdf but does not say anything about speed motor control it seems these drives Commodore bundled only with the Amiga 1000 and external drives so anyone which have an Amiga 1000 or old external drives could have one http://www.amiga-stuff.com/hardware/diskdrives.html from where you got that factor 5 mastered disks using these drives? |

I found this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...id=4&styleid=1 it seems this drive have a potentiometer which goes to 290 rpm to 330 rpm are you sure this drive will work with powercopy and will write long tracks and all other protections which need different rpm? |

Gods has a notorious copy protection you've think you've copied it but it will actually be harder then the original and crash if you can get as far as the first boss - it can be patched with the Amiga Patch List.
Lethal Weapon - RawCopy supposedly removes the copy protection - Don't know how you use RawCopy. The Maverick Backup buddy is the only Drive I know that could alter the speed. |
