Doubts preserving Hoi by Hollyware...

SyX · 30 June 2021, 15:43

Hi!

We have dumped an original edition of Hoi by Hollywood,but the disk format is really strange (funny floppy graphic in the hxc tool).

For example, the scp doesn't work at all, but the ctr works great in winuae. I used the cheat mode for testing the first four levels, but I am not able to test the last level and the bonus level; then I can not confirm if the dump is 100% correct, although it looks that is fine preserved.

But if I am not wrong, a ctr can not be used for restoring in a real floppy, aside the lack of documentation in this format.

And I can not make an ipf with the keirf's tools, because there is not description for the protection used in this game.

Because there is an official ipf of Hoi, has anybody know anything about the protection used in this game?

And what I should do for preserving this game? Because I imagine ctr is not the best option or even an option at all (the same with the raw dumps).
