If I could borrow an original I'd be quite happy to try and extract all the datafiles using a CDTV and then rebuild an imagefriendly disc.

I could lend you mine (as long as I get it back in the same condition ) Would save me trying to image it over a sernet cable.

Ah, ok HD equipped one would be better, but as I indeed don't fancy to do that myself, feel free to do so. Maybe you could investigate on the cause of the problem while you have it. PM your address, I will send it later this week.

BTW I think you can safely say that the problem must be the one Toni suggested: Master errors that weren't discovered because the CDTV drive ignores them. |

Just thought I'd let y'all know that after having burnt the image with the "protected game" profile of Alcohol 120% it SEEMS to work on my CD32. It certainly gets by the ICOM logo and onto the main menu. However, it only works with a mouse (or so the game tells me when using the joypad!) and I still ain't got one (will hopefully receive an Amiga rollerball tomorrow) so I'm afraid I can't test it much further but it certainly does look hopeful! Perhaps the "unreadable" tracks are in some strange format that Windoes doesn't understand how to make sense of, but the CD32/CDTV drive does? CDRWin tells me they're in CDXA format but it cannot extract them. But who cares, if it works on the real thing this way?

Please tell me where I can find this "protected game" profile setting.

1) Launch Alcohol 120% (Duh! ) 2) Select the Image Burning Wizard from File menu (or press Ctrl+B) 3) Browse for the Sherlock mds file 4) From the dropdown menu on the bottom of the dialog (called Data Type) select General Protected CD. 5) Set Write Speed to as low as possible. 6) Press Start and wait for the burning session to finish. 7) Try it on your CD32! |

Hmms, while abusing the CD32 pad in the mouse port (lol!) I finally managed to click the introduction button - and I'm not sure if this is due to standard AGA incompatibility but on the next screen I get graphics corruption and weird colours. Apart from that, it seems to "work".
EDIT: Well, after having managed to click one of the chapters I can safely (and sadly) say that there indeed seems to be a major problem reading the CDXL animations... Don't know about the rest of the chapters but the drive just keeps reading the disc for the first chapter's animation. Bummer. Last edited by fisken uno; 03 April 2007 at 22:41. |

Mastering errors or simply non-standard layout of the disc... I'm not sure. But I do know that the first track (the data track) seems perfectly usable and so do the audio tracks (except for the read errors in the first of them, but these are easily ignored). The PROBLEM is the CDXL video tracks... Now, is there any soft for the Amiga that lets you extract several tracks and create a TOC (cue) file? This MAY be the only option to make this game work. Or perhaps an old PC CD drive? Some older drives can actually rip the protected Audio CDs I mentioned earlier because they won't be disturbed by the errors. Back to square one I guess? *sigh* |

Video tracks... Yuch... that could be a problem. Still, I'll do my best with it when thor's disc arrives. Meanwhile if you guys all want to keep your thinking caps on then that'd be good.
