About protection code. It's little tricky. All is described in manual so i translated it for you: The correct code to enter in the code window are the first two letters of the found word and the number of letters it consists of. Last edited by rygar; 10 September 2023 at 21:43. |

And looking at the codes Abaddon extracted for Afryka, Azja and Test Prawa Jazdy, they use the same type of protection! |

On the TSS Mega Mix CD, Pitagoras seems to be the same as the DMS file that was uploaded to the Zone, no saved files in the Pitagoras_Wyniki folder. So as I mentioned before, you could create an ADF from the DMS or the files on the TSS Mega Mix CD and write that back to your disk or a blank disk, volume label would be: Pitagoras_SP5678
At least we now have an original copy of the Pitagoras files! |

That dump is OK, thanks for RAR'ing up the RAW files Updated post #91 However, where is the code sheet for the protection? The manual scans you uploaded do not seem to have one?
Probably one of your previous disks dirtied the heads on your drive and cleaning the heads worked? |

Polonista only shows side 0 dumped, side 1 shows unformatted? I would check your disks and see if they are dirty/moldy and clean them and the drive heads. Trying another drive might help too once the disks are cleaned and the heads on the drive!! Last edited by BarryB; 13 September 2023 at 15:47. |

I also noticed you're using 3 revs per track when 5 revs is preferred! Also, if you download the Kryoflux dumping tool you can us the DTC program to create an ADF from your dumps and check your AmigaDOS tracks are OK. As a case in point, Skaut Disk 1 creates an IPF fine in disk-utitlities with your dump but when using DTC to create an ADF it shows 6 tracks are bad so DTC is more sensitive to detecting errors! More cleaning/dumping would be in order to see if the dump creates an ADF in DTC that reduces/eliminates the errors! Another point, if when dumping you hear a scrape or squealing noise eject the disk immediately and check it for dirt on the surface and clean it and the heads then try again, it could be dirt building up on the heads and causing the noise!! You shouldn't hear anything like a squealing or scrape noise on a good disk, sometimes I hear hardly any noise at all! Last edited by BarryB; 13 September 2023 at 20:00. |

Thank you a lot for value clues. I'l try to implement all of it in dumping process. I'm still very new in it BTW I found something interesting in Wanted Team NFOs: INFOFILE TO "HELIOSFERA" Developer : MarkSoft Cracked by : Gofer Protection : Doc Check Information for all happy owners (?) of the original Heliosfera game and OS 1.2 or 1.3 in the directory l: on the first disk the authors placed for free Saddam virus (Disk-Validator), of course it was removed by us from our version.

So Heliosfera came with a free Virus and Skaut does use disk protection!
Edukacja Zestaw 3 also uses some form of disk protection but the decoder Abaddon did for Edukacja Zestaw 2 doesn't work! Also, can you clean the disk of Edukacja Zestaw 3 or redump track 71.0 as it won't decode in disk-utilities! Last edited by BarryB; 14 September 2023 at 13:29. |

Operacja_Waz_Morski - Virus free and all files copy off the disk, no manual to pass the doc check!
Ortografia_Gra_Slow - Unknown protection on track 31.0 and lots of unformatted tracks and most files can be copied off the disk, plik0 is 0 bytes in length nad has no protection bits set so it won't copy off the disk! Rajd_Przez_Polske - Both disks Virus free, all files can be copied off the disk but Disk 2 has similar protection to Skaut on track 80.0, mistakenly identified as Sextett! Not sure where this protection is checked for as ADF's load and let you start playing the game? Last edited by BarryB; 14 September 2023 at 14:16. |

Unfortunately, as was mentioned T71.0: sectors 5, missing. The game still works from the IPF I created, but the initial image has a bit of corruption due to the missing sector. Hopefully, we can get a good dump. |
