Hi all,
I very recently purchased Stunt Track Racer (Microplay Version) on Ebay and upon receiving it noticed that the write tab was in the write position. Unfortunately I discovered that the disk had been erased. The Ebay seller stated in the listing that the disk was unable to be tested. Anyway I couldn't be bothered contacting the seller and returning it back overseas since everything else about the game, such as box and contents, were in near mint condition and really wanted to keep it. Therefore I thought I would try to rewrite the disk with an SCP image found on the FTP.
Unfortunately the problem is that, while the image works in WinUAE, it does not work when written back to another floppy when doing some test writes. I have tried writing it back in both Index and Splice modes and have tried several different floppy drives all with the same result. All disks have come up as good in the SCP media test. I can't work out what's going on.
Would it be possible if someone could have a look at that image and find out what the deal is with it?
Anyway, thanks guys for your help, it is very much appreciated. If I'm violating any rules here, please feel free to delete my post.
Kind Regards.
