Jupiter probe

[Anemos]

Can be Whdload?
It runs only on A500, also relokick no supported this on A1200..
I have the game image as .exe AmigaDos file, if you need it tell me to send on The Zone.

[Abaddon]

I have the slave done I just need to find someone with the original disk so I can create an imager. The dos exe is obviously not an original, so it would be of no use.

Edit: I ported my JST install, which is why I have it completed, but not imager.

[Anemos]

Dunno if is original disk, but can be run with winuae A500 setting, direct from DF0 drive ..
Edit: is on The zone now!

I have it in original (compilation).

Any chance of getting a wwarp of it?

[dlfrsilver]

Find a disk image (wwp format) of the original Microdeal release in the Zone. Should have two compilation versions (Hit Disks Volume 1 and Gold Rush Collection) in boxes somewhere, but they might take some finding and I'm pressed for time atm. Whether they're different from the original release is another matter, as well. Maybe Denis (dlfrsilver) can help out with a compilation version in the meantime if he can lay his hands on one quicker than me.

Happy patching Keith!

Thanks DrB, I think this is the same version that I originally wrote the install for. I noticed that the wwarp file contains several large junks of source code. Some sections of the code repeated and it mentions Dogs of War.

Not surprised about the code and references to Dogs of War.......the image compressed down from ~2.3Mb to ~0.3Mb and the disk is actually named Goldrunner. Did a double take when I saw Goldrunner on the Ami screen and had to check that it actually was Jupiter Probe. Game companies did some bizarre stuff in the early 16-bit days of the Amiga/ST!

I'll see about this if I get any time soon. Just curious.....does anyone know if can you convert the wwp disk image to an extended ADF or other formats easily? Haven't used wwp or mfmwarp in a while, so the memory's a bit vague on this one.

[dlfrsilver]

Mmh, what i know is that Steve Bak was at first an Atari ST fanboi, and he used an atari ST track format. The ST track length is $1400. I'll try tonight to create an extended ADF from the WWP file as disk image with sync and track length

I don't think it is possible in the case of jupiter probe...it have copy protection and wwarp can't identify or write to disk

Well, I made an extended ADF using rawread (with just the basic options - i.e. -r and standard 79 tracks). I tried TSGUI first, but it intermittently complained about an error on one of the tracks. It would continue after a retry, but didn't seem to be getting to the end of the disk. Anyway, I haven't tested the extended ADF since I don't emulate. I will rely on you, Clauddio and others to report whether it works under emulation or not.

Also, if you manage to make an extended ADF from the wwp image, then please let me know the steps you go through so I can use it for future reference. Unfortunately, I don't have much time right now to investigate.

Must get some sleep......it's way past my bedtime!

thanks for the game..... tested it and works fine with winuae
the game only runs on a 68000 .....it doesn't matter kickstart or any other thing
don't like any other cpu even it fails on the 68010
I wonder why motorola introduced new cpus after 68000 not fully compatible

[dlfrsilver]

Can you use Powercopy v3.07 cracked by stingray and create a working image of Jupiter Probe ? Look at the disk geometry format

Side 0 is made of DOS tracks and MFM $4489 sync marked tracks
Side 1 is entirely in DOS format.

PS : winuae doesn't support DMA/speed function of wwarp, i can't write the wwp file in an extended ADF.

Hi Denis,

Psygore seems to be able to do a direct wwp ---> extended adf conversion (not from within WinUAE but using a hacked version of mfm2wwarp)

I am finally getting back to this. I've been busy with work and then I got me new ACA1231 card and have been going through some of my previous installs and checking/fixing snoop bugs.

The imager is complete (scrapped my imager and leveraged CFOU! Goldrunner II imager source) and have decided to use a disk image rather than files like the JST release. I found a few bugs that I am currently in the process of fixing and need to add saving of the high scores.

[Anemos]

Yep, thats is good news.
