Dungeon Master V2.0 IPF? - Page 9

BarryB · 11 February 2023, 17:45

If anyone is interested I've uploaded to The Zone images of Dungeon Master + Chaos Strikes Back in HFEv3 format for use on a Gotek with Flash Floppy Firmware that Keir has now supported!

Needs an experimental build of Flash Floppy in your Gotek: https://nightly.link/keirf/flashflop.../549341148.zip

Should work just like the original Disks!

So far, it would seem that DM 2.0 and 2.2, plus CSB 3.1 and 3.5 work without issue (at least under emulation) with late-ish disk-analyse releases.

If anyone has a lead on raw, unmodified dumps of other versions of either (except the unprotected Psygnosis releases), I'd be very interested.

You don't happen to have an image of the corresponding Utility Disk, do you? Not sure if there were changes to it between releases tbh.

EDIT: Documenting for posterity, the odds are quite high that there are differences. Between 3.1 and 3.5. the following were changed on the Utility Disk:

CEDT.FTL
HCSB.HTC
VDEO.FTL
c/SetPatch

...plus the 3.5 disk is missing Write and Delete attributes for literally ALL the files, which is weird.

Effectively no difference at all from the 3.1 Utility Disk, though interestingly all three versions (3.1, 3.3, and 3.5) of the UD have *all* their files dated...wait for it...tomorrow! 2023-02-22 on each and every file. How freaky is that? LOL

Never mind. This was a weird artifact of a virtual filesystem I used to do the compare.

Can WinUAE load HFEv3 images to allow us to play the original versions of Dungeon Master? The Psygnosis version has a different dungeon graphic and other changes: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/247

There is a specific DM v2.2 IPF just for using in emulation: Dungeon Master v2.2 Emulation Only!

Has anyone tried the SCP I uploaded to see if it was good for use?

BarryB · 16 January 2024, 21:10

According to something I read (not sure where) Jim Drew stated the SCP of DM would work like the original, assuming the original was fully working!

But it is unusable with a gotek drive, it's way too big

PascalDe73 · 16 January 2024, 21:52

Hi,

Could You try this HFEv3 File created with HxCFloppyEmulator 2.15.2.3 (Beta) with option HFE writers (Internal parameters) :
New "HFE_WRITER_WRITENOTALLOWED" parameter : Set it to 1 to write protect the exported hfe files.

I tried it and it seems to works on my Gotek HXC.

Best Regards,

Pascal

If it was that easy i would have done it already.

The HFEv3 is the best choice we have.
