Creating your own IPFs

[BarryB]

For sure! You'll have to disassemble the game to figure out how the data is loaded off the disk, not anything I could do!

Just to update this old thread

Disk-Utilities now supports more formats

Abaddon has added support for:

Adventures of Robin Hood (Millennium)
Brides of Dracula (Zeppelin)
Captain Planet And The Planeteers (RattDOS)
Cyber World
Deliverance
G.Nius protection tracks
Gauntlet II (Not directly but as a consequence of doing Golden Axe, now recognised as Logotron, Keir added the protection track support)
Golden Axe (Logotron)
James Pond III MFM version (Millennium)
Outzone
Robocop (First release with MFM tracks)
Pinball Fantasies ECS MFM version (TSL)
Turbo OutRun (AmigaDOS variant)
Shuffle
Zoom (MFM + protection)

Keir has also added support for the Disk Spare format so all those Amiga User International cover disks are now supported

Cool !

[BarryB]

Just check how many missing formats there are in Disk-Utilities compared to what the SPS Analyser knows

for sure. However, my own version of Adventure of Robin Hood is not supported.

It's doesn't have the protec longtrack, it uses the Millenium longtrack format, and the track 0.0 is Amigados, but with a gap protection

Disk Analyse doesn't recognize the format.

Gauntlet II had a similar issue, Logotron longtracks were supported but the protection tracks were not recognised until Keir added support!

Abaddon has now added support for:

Mighty Bombjack
Overlander (as a result of supporting Mighty Bombjack)
Pang

[dlfrsilver]

Have you read my answer about Zynaps ?

Your track 0.1 is in fact bad. The game use a RN1 Amigados track.

Your dump is the same as IPF 879.

[BarryB]

Yes, I've replied now! I was checking the new formats Abaddon just added and emails got checked when I remember to check them

[lesta_smsc]

Haven't used this in a while but purely because the last version was kindly compiled by someone in another thread! Is there anyway for these to be automatically built in 'nightly' formats or even linking this to an online building site so they are ready to download and use?

[BarryB]

I PM'd the guy who compiled it for Windows but yet to receive a reply!

[BarryB]

Another update to Disk-Utilities!

Abaddon has now added support for:

Hammerfist
Capone Protection Track (seems to use a GCR style protection track)
Grid Start Protection Track (variant of the now supported Zoom! long track protection)
Tournament Golf (as a result of adding Mighty Bombjack, format renamed to elite_e as Overlander and now Tournament Golf use it)

Commits currently waiting to be merged into Keir's branch!

Another GCR protected game ? ahaha

[BarryB]

Yes, Capone is preserved as IPF #2359 but strangely no IPF of Alternate Reality or Super Methane Brothers which also use a GCR type protection I believe?
