protected software - malers - 12-30-2013 Hello, I just want to share my first experience with copying Atari 8bit software with supercard pro. (used software 0.91) I tried to copy archon I with its track skew and double sectors protection successfully. GREAT! Blind Modus must be off. Then I tried spy vs spy 2 UK version. One of the best protected games by the way. It uses track skewing and a long track on track 37 with triple sectors. Unfortunately the copies do not work. Tomorrow I ll try archon 2 with its long track (32 sector track) on track 2. I guess it will also fail. My guess is, that the current sc pro software could not identify start position of long tracks because of the write splice. Best Michael RE: protected software - admin - 12-30-2013 Currently, only disks that were produced using the index work perfectly. The blind mode turned off is needed for disks that do not use the index as a reference. I have not looked at the Atari 400/800 stuff very much. If you want to send the disk images to data@cbmstuff.com I can look at them and use them to check the new routine I am working on for writing. The problem is never with the reading, just writing. RE: protected software - malers - 01-01-2014 The problem was the max track range of 20 which is now fixed. I succesfully copied Archon I, Archon II, MULE and Racing Construction Set. GREAT!!! RE: protected software - admin - 01-01-2014 Thanks for letting me know that these now work! |
