SPS (CAPS) miss list - Page 33

Hi there!
I've got an original copy of Lupo Alberto (Idea Software). On HOL I can't see the SPS weblink. Do you need a copy of the disk? I own a kryoflux and I can save the floppy content as a raw file. Please let me know.

dlfrsilver · 12 November 2021, 05:11

Ok, I'll do it later this evening. I should have your email... I'll probably send it to you by email.

Yesterday I played the game and it seems to work perfectly, hopefully it hasn't been modified in any way.

jurassicman · 12 November 2021, 20:13

@dlfrsilver
Check your email, mate, I've just sent you the game as a raw file.

dlfrsilver · 13 November 2021, 08:35

Ok let me check

AMIPEGUSER · 30 November 2021, 12:20

I have also an Original of Lupo Alberto. I have also Clik Clak and Smash of Idea Software.
All three was dublicated on an Amiga with no errors but the whole Disk modified.
We call these Disks M159 or M160.
Smash was sealed before I opened to dump. But it was also M160.

So I believe your Disk will be the same and normally not usable for a "real" IPF.

jurassicman · 30 November 2021, 15:32

In fact dlfrsilver told me that my Lupo Alberto disk appears to be copied on an A500. Having bought it second hand I thought it was possible even if the guy that sold me the game didn't remember to have copied the disk in the days... maybe the Idea Software House did make the original disks on a regular A500?

AMIPEGUSER · 30 November 2021, 20:01

I believe it is possible that some publishers copied on Amigas.
As I said my sealed "Smash" from Idea Soft was also copied on an Amiga.

The old Titles from German Publisher Software 2000 are also copied on Amigas.
I had also a sealed Software 2000 titel called "Genius" which was also copied on Amigas
when we dumped it.

BarryB · 30 November 2021, 21:33

Didn't a lot of Polish software also get copied on Amigas?

Disk-analyse output, for reference:

T0.1: Dungeon Master Weak Bits
T1.0-79.1: AmigaDOS
T80.0-83.1: Unformatted
*** T0.1: Dungeon Master Weak Bits: IPF: unsupported variable density!
disk-analyse: IPF: Switching to SPS encoder.
*** T0.1: Dungeon Master Weak Bits: IPF: unsupported variable density!

Hey Retroplay, I missed this post and am not sure if the raw dump made it to the FTP. Are you able to drop the dump in the zone again please?

Retroplay · 10 December 2021, 02:11

Bear in mind that DM protection is not fully supported, Keir added it partly but the protection can't be represented in an IPF yet until SPS add it!

stevsurv · 17 March 2022, 13:21

Anyone interested as just uploaded an IPF of Birds of Prey v1.0. Version 1.1 has already been dumped by someone else. Has manual protection on startup.

I own both versions and noticed v1.0 had not been dumped yet. Works ok.

UrBi · 17 March 2022, 22:34

Can you put version 1.1 in the zone ?

No probs. Just uploaded V1.1 to the zone. HOL has the manuals that the protection questions want at game startup.

Hi BarryB

,
I read this post of yours now.
Maybe it's currently not possible to make a 100% correct image (with any hardware, Greaseweazle, Kryoflux etc.) of DM?

BarryB · 17 November 2022, 20:57

The hardware will image the disk 100%, it's converting the data they create into a working image! I don't have a SuperCard Pro but Jim does say this on a post on his forum:

Quote:

Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back copy just fine, and I am not altering any data from the data that is read - not even a normalization (write precomp) at this point, and the fuzzy bits are duplicated perfectly."

So from that an SCP image read with a SuperCard Pro should work according to Jim!

Are 2626, 2857, 2918, and 3097 still MIA? According to ROMVault and the SPS MIA dat on the FTP, I have them, but that file is four and a half years old.
