I meant, if this games are real rips from original Coverdisk, not the full Coverdisk.
If i remember correctly, i have checked in the past with the result, that this are rips from Coverdisks, the full Coverdisks contain some more games/programs.
Can you confirm this?

A litle correction:

Defjam & CCS - Compact Disk No 09 (19xx)(Defjam-CCS)
7A27BA28
>>>
Defjam & CCS - Compact Disk No 09 (19xx)(Defjam - CCS)

In fact, I notice that the set "Amiga Fun" in Coverdisk absolutely misnamed. I'll do some cleaning in there before moving T.T.F.

nothing but I think it is an interesting alternative:
- AXE text
- alternative main exec added together with the trainer (fixe?)

I have really no idea.
Probably the original source had no protection, but we can only guess.
WHDLoad version by "CFou" mentioned nothing about any protection.

Another note:
There is one and the same Publisher(Scene-Group), but different naming, we should choose one name only.
Example:

Bones Pack #22 (1993)(Fifth Generation)

Revista Fanzine 2 Intro (1992-09)(5th Generation)

There are a lot of more.

BTW:I stumbled other a lot of Disks, which are DOS + bootloader, but bootloader Data are missing, probably because wrong settings of DMS tool.
Is your tool able to detect this issue, if not, is it possible to add this feature?

No currently! It is not easy as it should be determined if the bootblock is a bootloader, locate the read data and determine if the data are valid...
However, this problem must involve a minority of bootloader. Bootboy / Bootgirl, for example, reserve the Bit Allocation Map with a fake file, so no problems with DMS!
You could make a big pack of disk affected by the problem to see if I can do something?

You need DMS format then?

No, it is not necessary, regardless of the format, it will suit..
Damage occur during compression of the disk, it is not reversible. So in DMS format, it is already too late.

Commodore Amiga - Compilations - Games (TOSEC-v2013-04-06_CM)
This is not a compilation, that fits in this dat.
Its original release, which includes demo of a game by the same publisher.
If you agree, we are a step closer to the aim.

About your DMS Workshop:
Is the "Fix virus damage" a safe operation?

[Crashdisk]

Yes! This is only for damage caused by the virus Saddam and Pestilence.
These blocks are detected only if the repair is approved by the checksum of the data block. The only exception is the correction of the BAM key. The Saddam virus moves original pointer $6E013C to $E60140 to start automatically when the disk is inserted. This is corrected of course.
If you notice an incorrect correction, contact me quickly with a sample!
