.SCP and KryoFlux image request.

[Mclane]

Just saw the support for this in the latest beta, hada look around and can't find a site with any, anyone got some just to play with?

Oops, manners, please...

[mr.vince]

You can just create your own with KryoFlux FREE for AmigaOS. It's just been released.

Here's the news with download links:

I am looking for the same to test the last WinUAE beta version. : )

[mr.vince]

Since this applies to e.g. dumps of games, which still are copyrighted, I can't put any up... If you have an Amiga, you can just download the imaging tool and make your own raw files.

Here's the imaging tool:

And here's the dll you need to place in your WinUAE folder (or System32):

I could make a raw of some public domain disk in standard ADOS format, but I assume this would be... plain boring?

[AnnaWu]

Unfortunately, my old A4000 is on another place. I doesn´t have access to the original hardware.

[mr.vince]

Found some in the Zone:

ArgAsm_v1.06_v1.07.WWP.SPS.tar.bz2

Assume the raw images there were made with KryoFlux FREE. Why not give them a test drive?

Thanks!

[AnnaWu]

Nice, the ArgAsm raw dumps are working with the required library.
Now I like to test a .SCP image, it is different, right?

[Mclane]

Anna, what library are you talking of please?

[mr.vince]

Anna means this lib. It brings support for IPF and CT RAW to all kinds of emulators. Emulation authors just integrate the interface into their program, and then the rest ist handled by the library (dll = dynamic link library).

Anna, i have Amiga, ST and PC SCP images, but those are really big

it's like 50mb per disk.

I need one Amiga sample only but it is dependent on you and your mood. : )

50MB per disk?????????????????????????????????????


EDIT: is it possible to convert SCP to CT with software only?

[dlfrsilver]

Will do, but right now i won't have the time :

I have to process 35 amstrad CPC tapes and around 40 games on 3 inches floppies from a collector friend to pass in EDSK and CDT files and also in KFstream files (some of them being awfully naughty and badass to dump, i'm fighting with Hanse from Ariolasoft, this one is a bitch because of the speed encoding used. The last german game i passed in CDT was recorded in 4000 bauds, when a CPC normally works with 1000 and 2000 bauds max. Ah ah, again a side effect of C64 coders, which surely tought that the CPC was not loading fast enough.... oh well i stop the off topic).

SPS is not forgotten, i have quite a number of KFstream files dump for CPC to upload them

to forget that RAW files are crunched SCP files are not, hence the size.
by zipping, it should take 15-20Mb.

[Retroplay]

[semi off-topic, sorry]
I was just wondering how do you dump the CPC tapes ?

I'm awaiting a handful of still MIA C64 tapes in the mail, but dumping C64 tapes is easy when you have a 1541U-II and a well alligned datasette.

[Supamax]

Please change the thread name.

The correct name is KryoFlux, not Kyroflux.

Do you mean you're dumping C64 tapes on a real C64, transferring them (TAP?) to the floppy drive?

[Retroplay]

Yes, real C64.
1541U-II has a sample to .TAP option, it can sample tape data directly to the SD card.

[TCD]

Thread name fixed.

Files are this big when you do a multi-revolution dump. For SCP, it is not necessary to dump more than one revolution unless the disk was not written on the index mark... in which case you would need two revolutions per track. These big files are generated because of dumping five revolutions so they can be used with Aufit and other analyzer programs. Typically, .scp images require ~5MB per side per disk. Using 7 zip, the image compression can be as much as 80%. Remember that you can use 7 zip to archive your disk images and WinUAE will let you use them in the zipped format during the emulation. So, there is no need to ever decompress the archive unless you are going to be creating a real disk with SuperCard Pro.

Thanks for the explanation (and thanks for ALL your work on disk dumping s/w, h/w etc.).

Do you mean that WinUAE is now also supporting 7-zip native format (.7z) ?
Or are you referring to .zip files created with 7-zip?
