16 Blitz, 16 Blitz Tronix, and 16 Blitz Tronix Plus
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2020 11:56 pm
Hi all,
You just added my disks for Double Dragon, http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st ... 29932.html
to the 16 Blitz Plus version of the game but it should be for the 16 Blitz Tronix version.
(Same with the two disk images)
Those white disks, that say 16 Blitz on them are from the 16 Blitz Tronix releases. (The 16 Blitz Plus disks actually say plus on the logo)
You have a number of just "16 Blitz" label games, I believe these should all be "16 Blitz Tronix"
http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_at ... 0_S_G.html
So, merge these into the http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_at ... 8_S_G.html list maybe?
An ebay link to the whole package I have: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/k4QAAOSw ... -l1600.jpg
I don't have the box any more, but I still have the manual. I'll get around to scanning it this year hopefully!
Is there any chance, too, I could have a username and pw to the FTP site that has Read/Write access?
(Say, for my own folder, just mine)
Or, can you delete the Mikerochip folder contents, and I'll start uploading again.
I've cleaned many of my disks, got a handle on dumping the disks with a greaseweazle, changed to a new drive, and wrote some batch files with standard naming conventions etc.
If not, can you just delete the Mikerochip folder contents, and I'll upload these perfect/better dumps for you to host. (Along with the manuals I've scanned, and boxes too. Not that many of those yet, but getting there)
Included in all the disk dumps are .scp files, now with 5 revolutions (the standard number for archival purposes), the STX file from both Aufit, and, if it's working, from the HxC tools.
Then, the .hfe file, from the HxC tools, for use with a Gotek/HxC disk emulator.
If there's no copy protection, I included the .st file too.
A text file with a log of the dumping process, a log from Aufit of the protection on the disk.
Then finally, a picture of the disk from Aufit and from HxC tools too.
I've also tried to dump each disk at least twice.
If both dumps are ok, I've included the .stx file from both dumps. If not, I've cleaned the disk etc, and included just one .stx, .hfe, .st etc etc.
If you prefer, I can remove the non-working .scp files before I re-upload them, to make it easier for you guys.
I wonder, would it be useful to include an article or section on using the Greaseweazle or similar flux level dumping board, the Aufit software, and HxC, and maybe the HxC or Gotek emulator too, for use in a real Atari?
(And then, using the GW to write those .SCP files back to a real disk, for an exact duplicate of the original disk)
So, to give out information on a fully working cheap solution to making Atari disk backups etc, where you don't need 2 disk drives, and it's relatively quick and painless, and works fine on modern hardware.
(And you can use either Atari ST/Amiga disk drives or PC disk drives to create the images too)
