Goldrunner (1987) SCP or IPF image?

solarmon · 19 July 2020, 14:07

Hi,

I can't find the Goldrunner (1987) image in the EAB TOSEC repository of games.

There is an image Golderunner II, but not Goldrunner.

I would like to restore my original Goldrunner disk so would like a good dump in IPF or SCP format to write back to the disk or to a donor disk for media replacement.

Thank you.

I see also Goldrunner in TOSEC

Ops, sorry, you are searching for IPF

chip · 19 July 2020, 16:22

There's one IPF in "Non TOSEC IPFs - Unofficial" anyway

Is that Ok ?

Yes, I'm looking for the IPF image.

I've looked in both:

ftp://ftp:amiga@grandis.nu/TOSEC/Games/SPS/
ftp://ftp:amiga@grandis.nu/TOSEC/Gam...20&%20Patches/

But I don't see it in there.

I've now found:

ftp://ftp:amiga@grandis.nu/Non%20TOS...0-%20Official/
ftp://ftp:amiga@grandis.nu/Non%20TOS...%20Unofficial/

and have found "Goldrunner (Europe).zip"

ftp://ftp:amiga@grandis.nu/Non%20TOS...20(Europe).zip

Thanks, I will have a look at this and see if it is suitable.

Perfect

I thought my Goldrunner floppy disk was really bad - see top dump image. But comparing with the IPF image I just found (see bottom image), it is not that bad but, although still still not bootable/working.

Maybe a bit more cleaning will help. Otherwise I will magnet wipe it and over write it with the IPF image.

Ops, so the IPF you found is bad ?

solarmon · 19 July 2020, 17:03

No, that is just how it is mastered. It loads in emulation fine.

My SCP dump doesn't load. So I need to try to clean the disk a bit more, or write back the IPF image.

Seems like a mechanical disk problem. The unofficial IPF works fine in WinUAE, and it's the version which allows Joystick control.

edit: Ah, solarmon was faster.

chip · 19 July 2020, 17:07

Thanks both for the answer

Well, it's solved it seems

solarmon · 19 July 2020, 17:15

Cleaning the floppy disk didn't improve anything, so I magnet wiped it and wrote the IPF image to it.

The SCP dump now looks good and loads OK in emulation:

and the disk now loads fine on my A500.
