A nice feature would be too rename the resulting adf with the tosec name, or is that the case already?

welcome on the forum chip ,
you can convert and save a badly decompress file by enabling these options in the menu: Code:
Convert/Fix |_ADF options |_Even on error |_Even incomplete |

incomplete DMS/WRP can be trainers or fix, they are not bad but not sufficient to generate a complete working ADF file

Zoom format support is not planned due to lack of time, interest and because I'm not a professional programmer
By default, ADFW prevent the user to generate a bad file and a message explains why! Code:
File selected : ATX-APTR.DMS File size : 19.794 bytes CRC32 : $3B3CC244 File loaded as an DMS : DMS Archive Cyl Dec Len RLE Len Comp Len C.Mode & Flag U.SUM D.CRC H.CRC Crypt ------ -------- -------- -------- ------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- C00 11.264 4.562 2.940 Heavy2 - T - $10E9 $9DDE $E8DF No C60 11.264 - 11.214 Heavy2 D T - $EA58 $3259 $7576 No C61 11.264 5.787 5.524 Heavy2 - - - $7061 $5C0D $FE12 No WARNING: 1 bad cylinder(s) detected!

ADF file not saved : 1 bad cylinder detected! - Decompression bug ($EA58), a disease that led me to create ADFW! - The file does not contain all the cylinders needed to create a functional ADF By forcing the conversion, the generated file will have additional tags to report the problem: ATX-APTR.DMS > ATX-APTR[u][b].adf [u] for underdump [b] for bad and ADFW will show this message: "ADF file saved but 77 cylinder(s) missed and 1 bad cylinder(s) detected!" |

In the first post, I added a new database package:

Code:

It's perfectly reasonable to want to salvage as much as possible from a damaged archive of any kind by extracting the content while ignoring CRC errors. I know of one utility which will extract zipped and gzipped archives using a brute force method, but as yet there is none for use with DMS archives. You have to remember that ADF-Workshop has been created primarily as a tool for preparation, validation and comparison of disk images for inclusion in TOSEC and other databases, and as such, your request is rather beyond its scope. Some while ago, I managed to recover the content of a set of damaged DMS archives by using utilities I found on the web to determine the actual and expected checksums of the damaged compressed tracks, and then replacing the expected checksums with the actual ones in the damaged archives using a binary file editor so that the ADF images, albeit damaged, could be extracted. Then, after repairing a few trivial errors in one of the resulting ADFs, I recompressed it and, finally, because the damage had a systematic cause, I was able to discover what it was and repair the others directly. Although I made fairly comprehensive notes of how I did this at the time, and I still have all the utilities and disk images to hand, I haven't yet quite got it worked out in sufficient detail to write the definitive guide "Extracting DMS archives using a brute force method". When I have, I shall make it available in a new thread here in these forums, complete with a coverdisk containing all the tools needed. Do you think you might find that useful? |

But since then (early 2005), a tool has become available for unpacking a damaged DMS file by ignoring CRC errors to salvage the ADF, which one might well have a better chance of fully recovering. xDMS 1.3.3 is available here. It is a Win32 command line utility with the following features: Code:
xDMS v1.3.3 - Portable DMS archive unpacker - Public Domain Written by Andre Rodrigues de la Rocha <adlroc@usa.net> Maintained by Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi> Usage: xdms [options] <command> {<dms_file[.dms]> [+output]} Commands : t : Test DMS archives u : Unpack DMS archives to disk images z : Unpack to disk images and compress it with gzip x : Extract files inside DMS archives using readdisk v : View DMS archives information f : View full information d : Show attached FILEID.DIZ b : Show attached Banner Options : -f : Override errors (for desperate data salvaging) -q : Quiet -v : Verbose -d <destdir> : Set destination directory -p <password> : Decrypt encrypted archives using password This version of the tool did not become available until 2006, but it now means that nobody will be needing more guidance than that which appears in the code box above. Source code is available here. Last edited by prowler; 24 April 2016 at 01:19. Reason: typo. |

xDMS is inferior to ADF workshop, and by far....

ADF-Workshop (formerly DMS-Workshop)
Quote:
I still love the way they removed my name from it, it had some function that made a random temp filename that didnt exist in the win32 libraries so i fixed it so it would compile on win32 and sent it to heikki as no working version existed at the time. Nice to see they removed my name from the history. (Trivial fix... but still) |

Your recent comment brought this topic to my attention. I'm wondering if there is a similar tool that doesn't rely on TOSEC databases. Something for my personal non-TOSEC collection to manage every ADF I have whether I created it myself, got it from gamebase, tosec or other source. Or can ADF workshop do this as well? Without loading databases? |

I doubt ADF-Workshop is updated anymore. Crashdisk should just release the source and PureBasic dependency could be eventually dropped out.

It could be possible to add support for the .DSQ format ?
I mean, just to show the content, not the conversion to ADF It would be useful i think Thanks in advance, chip |

I know it's not providing what you've requested, but this site is pretty handy so thought I'd post: http://www.amiga-stuff.com/
...in relation to your post, click "Archivers" --> "Download": http://www.amiga-stuff.com/archivers-download.html |

Thanks for the link DamienD
Anyway it's not problem to dearchive .DSQ I already know how to convert to ADF (to be precise there are two different ways) Only wanted ask for inclusion in ADF-Workshop, giving the possibility to analyze the format In other words to see the content and extract the files from This could avoid the conversion to ADF |
