I uploaded to The Zone the .scp image (made with GreaseWeazle) of my original Dungeon Master v2.0 English floppy, which unfortunately I cannot use/play because the protection track is not working anymore .
I'm planning to overwrite that track (not the whole disk which is still good) with a good track from one good flux image... EDIT: since I own the original Chaos Strikes Back game, too, maybe I could copy/take the protection track from its floppy? Last edited by Supamax; 16 November 2022 at 15:38. |

The original floppy and my .scp images share the same issue: the game can be loaded and played for a little, but some time after you go down to the first level you'll get errors/hangs due to the protection kicking in. You're right |

It's also showing this message when I click on the floppy icon in one of the characters' menu: (see attached image) Where can I find that utility (just to experiment/fun)? It's by Kier? |

I played a little with your SCP conversion of the v2.2, exploring the Kids Dungeon (nice! Never saw it before), but after some minutes... : |

Maybe the .scp conversion looses some weak bits information?

This might be it. I shifted the protection track of your scp with HxC as per Jim Drew (SCP developer) instructions from awhile back. I've played it through to character regen and it's ok so far. Uploaded to the Zone FY convenience.

The System Error 60 is a DM alert meaning that the protection has kicked in: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/210#toc25 If the game detects a copied disk or that the program was modified then it can produce different effects, immediate or delayed: - The game hangs, crashes or deliberately runs out of memory. - The game displays a dialog box with the message "THAT'S NOT THE MASTER DISK!" - When clicking on the disk icon, the champion inventory is closed instead of opening the save menu. - Mouse clicks are ignored. - Animation stops (thrown items remain in the air, door do not open/close, creatures do not move, etc.). Soon after this the following message is displayed: "SYSTEM ERROR 60". - Altars of Vi cannot be used anymore - Instant death of the whole party. When this happens, you do not have the option to "Restart this game" as you usually have when your party is killed during combat. Quote:

I'm hoping you KF image is fully working (that's why I asked you to upload it too ).

Is there a link to the relevant thread? Quote:
NOTE: the game must be tested at least upto the beginning of the first level (down the stairs) and played for 10 or more minutes. |

The main disk of Chaos Strikes Back has the same protection track as DM 2.0.
Has it been done in IPF by the SPS team? If so, we could somehow take the track 0.1 from there and 'inject' it in the DM image? However, I have the original disks of it, too. I'll later make .scp images of them and upload to The Zone for your analysis. |

Currently no official IPFs exist of DM or CSB as SPS have not updated their analyser to support the protection yet, same reason that some Psygnosis titles that have never had official IPFs released either!! |
