Repository/preservation of flux images (.scp, KF raw, etc.)

[TCD]

I've uploaded the following KryoFlux images with kind permission by Witchbone to 'Flux_Images/Incoming/KryoFlux_SCP':

Lords_of_Time_Disk_A_PAL
Lords_of_Time_Disk_B_PAL
Pipe_Rider_Disk_PAL_Software_2000_Magic_Soft
Wizards_Castle

[Retroplay]

Wizard's Castle is missing disk 2.
I have upped KryoFlux streams of both disks to my user upload folder.

Hmm, the HOL entry only mentions one disk. The disk scan also doesn't indicate a second disk. Could you scan your disks (and maybe box) so we can add that version to HOL?

I've moved everything in your upload folder to the main area of the server. Thank you for the files

I didn't dump the disk, I got the stream from a kind person who also provided Psygore with the dumps for the recently released WHDLoad installer.


I upped a set of unofficial ipfs

The original disk 1 is quite small, I guess cracked version was one-disked.

[TCD]

Okay. I'll have a look at the first disk. The disk scan on HOL says 'Game Disk', so maybe that first disk is an intro and the second disk can be booted on its own.

[Retroplay]

Disk 1 = Game Disk
Disk 2 = Data Disk (not bootable)

Boot disk 1, press mouse to skip intro, disk 2 prompt shows up.

[TCD]

Thank you for testing it I'll update the HOL tomorrow. Let's hope we'll get a scan of that Data Disk for HOL one day.

P.S. I checked TOSEC quickly and didn't find the game?

[Witchbone]

Yes there are two disks, had overlooked it.

Scan for Hol is prepared and both disks are read out again with Kryo-Flux in RAW format.

Thank you for checking it again I've already updated the HOL entry with the correct number of disks and look forward to add the scans

Wizard's Castle format is unknown to the SPS encoder.

Pipe Rider IPF in the zone.

4 disk scans is the zone, needs to be split up.

[Supamax]

As I wrote in a previous post, I was thinking about this:
instead of creating a folder for various image types/formats etc., why not creating a folder for each game?

Each folder will have subfolders related to format, condition (verified or not) etc. etc.

Example:
-Agony
-------------KF RAW
-------------SCP
-------------CTRAW
-------------IPF (unofficial)
[...]

-Ports of Call
-------------KF RAW
-------------SCP
-------------CTRAW
-------------IPF (unofficial)
[...]


Pro: all images of a game (KT, SCP, CT etc.) will be under the same folder, and it will be easier to test/find/choose/discard some of them.
Cons: a lot of folders

Great I'll have a look now.

Edit: Perfect addition Who do I credit for the contribution?

Alrighty

[Retroplay]

Tiger Road_Capcom_longbox_RAW you added got a disk-validation error, just FYI.

I see you added the manual codes for Projekt Ikarus to HOL, good.

I have uploaded the KryoFlux dump to my folder.
Make sure you read the log included, disk 2 has 11 damaged tracks.
If anyone has a good disk 2 dump Abaddon could possibly reconstruct the damaged parts with affected tracks from a good working copy.
There's 2 ipfs included, it seems to work, but could cause problems later on in the game.
So make sure you keep that in mind if you decide to start playing the game.

Since it's not my own image I could forward it if there's a way to fix it.

[Abaddon]

I have started uploading my collection to Incoming/KryoFlux_SCP/Abaddon%20KryoFlux/

We should come up with a directory structure to start organizing the collection under Flux_Images. Anyone have any suggestions?

[TCD]

Maybe just create a 'Sorted' or 'Checked' directory on the same level as 'Incoming' and move the files that are confirmed over?
