Coverdisks that are also in Games
I had a quick search and didn't find a similar thread. I'm checking coverdisk images at the moment and found one that is identified as a 'demo-playable' and not also as a coverdisk. Is this intentional or should those disks be in both DATs?
The disk in question is 'Rugby League Coach (demo-playable) (1994)(Audiogenic)'. It should also be 'Amiga Action #58 (1994-05)(Europress Publications)(GB)(Disk 2 of 2)[June 1994]'. |

It's a tricky subject...
If the disk contains a demo of a game among other things, it should be in coverdisk. If the disk contains only a demo and it is exclusively dedicated to the magazine, it should be in coverdisk. If the disk contains a generic demo, there may be some arbitration. The unaltered or very close version goes in coverdisk. Hacked or trained versions can go into Games to give visibility. Exemple with Beneath a Steel Sky Demo Code:
+-Common disk______*[9CD88CE7] One, The #65 - Amiga (1994-01)(EMAP Images)(GB)(Disk 1 of 2)[Feb 1994] | |_Overdump________[82FDFD78] One, The #65 - Amiga (1994-01)(EMAP Images)(GB)(Disk 1 of 2)[o][Feb 1994] |_BAMCopy___________[00C0D027] Beneath a Steel Sky (demo-playable) (1993-11-17)(Virgin) -------------------- | s/startup-sequence | -------------------- | df0:steelsky | -------------------- [5E119DA7] Amiga Format #055 (1993-12-23)(Future Publishing)(GB)(Disk 2 of 3)[Jan 1994] [C53E9A65] Amiga Format #055 (1993-12-23)(Future Publishing)(GB)(Disk 2 of 3)[o][Jan 1994] --------------------------------------------- | s/startup-sequence | --------------------------------------------- | :echo "Amiga Format and Revolution present" | | :echo "Beneath a Steel Sky" | | :echo "Please wait..." | | :steelsky | --------------------------------------------- ![]() |

It will be my pleasure, I will take a break now that the DAT files are delivered for a next publication (except last minute correction...) but early next year, we can start!

Hello,
I am back in business! Could you give me more info on your first post? How do you make the connection between the disk and the coverdisk? Did you make a dump? |
