Stunt Track Racer

[sean_skroht]

The image on RetroBackup works under WinUAE, but it does not seem to work writing it back using SPLICE mode.  The disk was not indexed, so this was probably a copy of a copy.

I have reason to believe that the copy of Stunt Track Racer on Retrobackup was actually dumped from an original and not a copy, since I've discovered a couple of things.

To update:

In addition to the non-working retail copy of Stunt Track Racer that I have, I recently bought a working retail copy of Stunt "Car" Racer (European version of Stunt "Track" Racer, I believe) and promptly made an image of that. Same deal: this disk was NOT indexed and so splice is all over the place. Again, when writing the image back to a new floppy, the floppy doesn't work even though the image DOES work in WinUAE.

I have also noticed that another user on Retrobackup has backed up his copy of Stunt Car Racer in the "Incoming SCP" folder and even his isn't indexed either, perhaps suggesting that these disks were manufactured like this. And, of course, his doesn't work either when written to floppy.

Same goes with my originals of "Skidmarks Program Disk" and "Super Skidmarks Program Disk". Neither of these were indexed and I have been unsuccessful in getting any workable floppy's out of them.

Let me know if you would like me to email any of them. Of course, Stunt "Car" Racer can be obtained from Retrobackup. Hopefully it shouldn't take much to sort out. Thanks for your help Jim.
