Member Master Gumby Posts: 128 | hi Quote: So you're saying KryoFlux can actually detect whether or not the disks were originally written? yes Quote: Does it use some FAT pattern database or what? no, simply a copier writes in a different mode than a normal pc and the card notices it Quote: Either way, it could be very handy to us. Could you, please, verify the last restored images here? you can not do with the normal img, you need a flux image created with kryoflux I can only check out my images because I also own the kryoflux dump Quote: Hm, I wonder if I neutralized that. Looking at the count of modified sectors it just could be it. Could you, please, verify the uploaded set if you haven't yet? already done before uploading it |

Member Zombie Gumby Posts: 3881 | Quote: no, simply a copier writes in a different mode than a normal pc and the card notices it Hm.. I suspected something like that. Quote: you can not do with the normal img, you need a flux image created with kryoflux Now, that makes perfect sense, because it supports some copy protection schemes like Teledisk, Transcopy and Copy II PC, and it should be equally sensitive to weaker and stronger bits. I should've just guessed Quote: already done before uploading it I really meant running it through KryoFlux again Nevermind, it's all clear to me now. I'm pretty sure I've corrected all those issues on Disk 4, but I can't change the status to "Verified" just yet. We should always run post-restoration verification and obviously we can't do it now. ----- Cheer up!

Member Master Gumby Posts: 102 | I wonder why I got fixated that you only collected games. Want me to package up and upload my utilities as well? Though with my memory issues, it's isn't unreasonable to wonder if I haven't already done so Also, what do I need to provide to get them "verified"? I'm willing to provide Kryoflux dumps as well as IMG files. I can also provide pictures from my phone of the disks (my scanner is still lost in storage box limbo somewhere.) |

Member Zombie Gumby Posts: 3881 | Quote: I wonder why I got fixated that you only collected games. Good question. Perhaps, because we haven't really done it until now, though it was never exactly a taboo, either. It has never been announced officially, but it's pretty much a go. Quote: Want me to package up and upload my utilities as well? Sure, why not Keep in mind, though, if they are available elsewhere in the same or better form we may reject it now because it is virtually already here. We're giving up on just collecting everything including bad dumps and cluttering the archive with whatever stuff, things are changing a bit. So, whatever you upload has to be either superior quality-wise or very unique to other sources. It's ok to add images from other places, but since unadded applications are so far in abundance and much easier to find than games it would be a little unfair to get points for just transferring huge loads of images from one place to another. Besides, we can do it ourselves and it would, in fact, be much easier, too. Therefore, such will be added but the credit will go to the original source (site name will be used instead of your name) and you won't get any points. The rules are definitely more strict for applications. That said, before you upload any dumps check if they match any on this here site: https://winworldpc.com/, which is probably the second largest floppy image archive on the net, only they collect applications and operating systems. Think of it as an extension to TGOD, though it is NOT really and we are NOT related to them at all. Still, what they have we technically have, too. So there is really no point for you to move their content to here, including any of your personally made dumps matching theirs UNLESS it's verified. By the way, I need to change credit for the last applications to winworldpc.com except Norton Commander 1.0, because I actually fixed its boot sector and it's technically my personal upload now. That's one of the possible exceptions. Another one is, if the remaining dumps will ever be verified the credit will go to people who did the job. Sounds fair to me. Quote: Though with my memory issues, it's isn't unreasonable to wonder if I haven't already done so Well, if you don't see it in the archive then you probably never have. Nothing to worry about. Quote: Also, what do I need to provide to get them "verified"? Perfect quality, no modified sectors and your word that it came from the original disk(s). We can't ask for more and it's more about being loyal to your conscience and respecting others Quote: I'm willing to provide Kryoflux dumps as well as IMG files. That's nice, but unfortunately we don't officially collect non-RAW images just yet. However, feel free to send them in, we can store it on our FTP for now. It may have a future, but it's a little bit ambiguous at this point. Also, if we were to choose, we would rather prefer copy protected games for non-RAW formats as it's quite meaningless to provide them otherwise.

Member Master Gumby Posts: 102 | I'll start going through my collection again, then. I can provide screen caps of the Kryoflux dump (all green, or limited orange,) as well as pics of the disks. I'll compare the SHA for the IMG files, and if you have it already, I won't upload it. If it's listed as unverified, but the dump is all green, I'll send pics of the disks & the dump screen. Maybe you can then switch them to verified |

Member Zombie Gumby Posts: 3881 | ratix00, Unfortunately, we accept only RAW-type images, such as IMA or IMG. Your uploaded dumps are IMD, which is a non-RAW format. Do you think you could make IMA/IMG dumps instead? ----- Cheer up! Remember the less you have, the more there is to get. |

Member Baby Gumby Posts: 7 | what would you recommend to use on a dos machine 486 class? because i had used other programs such as teledisk and anadisk before using the IMD format from imagedisk ----- It's been a long long time |

If that fails for some reason, try this one (use FDRW.EXE to make a dump). If both work, then do me a favor, please, compare the outputs (1 file would be enough). I would like to know if it's identical. ----- Cheer up! Remember the less you have, the more there is to get. ----- Edited by Moebius at 01:47 on March 19th, 2018 |

Member Master Gumby Posts: 102 | Uploaded v1.0 of Curse of the Azure Bonds with images & logs. This is a test upload for the most part. I'll start working on the others once I have feedback on this upload This is actually the first of the 5.25" disks (which was the first box I came too,) in alphabetical order. The copy protected games I have I'll be uploading the RAW dump files for, unless there is a format you would prefer (and I'm capable of converting to.) I have to admit, I don't really know how to convert to any format other than IMG and PSI (supports most copy protections I'm told.) But I'll try to learn how to convert to other formats if needed. |

Member Zombie Gumby Posts: 3881 | Pheonix, All examined, added and status set to Verified. Thank you! Quote: The copy protected games I have I'll be uploading the RAW dump files for, unless there is a format you would prefer KryoFlux's own format? That won't be necessary, I think. In many cases Teledisk should suffice, but depending on the type of copy protection it may vary between that, Copy II PC and Transcopy. You should talk to imbpc5150 about that, he knows which software is best suitable for whichever copy protected game. I'm a little ignorant about it because I've never dealt with non-RAW formats and for a good reason, too. The major problem with these is that there are few emulators that support them. It's mostly PCE emulator (I personally don't like it) and latest 86box version which seems to be working with Teledisk images now. Maybe it has a future, we can't tell yet. The best case scenario would be if DOSBox (or some SVN fork) acquired support for any of these, otherwise it will remain low priority, I'm afraid. Quote: I have to admit, I don't really know how to convert to any format other than IMG and PSI (supports most copy protections I'm told.) But I'll try to learn how to convert to other formats if needed. PSI is PCE native format as far as I know, and in that respect it's even more rigid than Teledisk and others. But given its increasingly growing popularity it may as well have a future and one day it may even replace .TD0, .CP2 and .TC, which, honestly, would be a good thing. The less different formats the better. So, as much as I hate to say it now, it is best to have some PSI backups as well. ----- Cheer up!
