Re: ADFFS 2.85
So it's definitely bit rot then? If so, then it's very fortunate that non of those sections of the disc have game data on them. Did you fix those bad sections? I can't guarantee that no game data is corrupt given how widespread the disc corruption is. I've certainly not altered the floppy image, ju...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
Your youtube videos of this compilation have my name in the score tables. Well, at least that explains why we’re seeing the same bit rot that’s causing the blank screen in Zarkon Invasion. I can’t explain how I managed to base my image on the floppy you have though, as it was imaged around 14 years...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
Yes, there's a lot of red blocks on the grid when I image from JFD to JFD. I don't have an original to check, but I'm not expecting any red blocks if it's imaged from the original floppy. I'm expecting it to all be green. ADFFS 2.85 doesn't currently include a recording file for it, so its imaging ...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
It's only Zarkon Invasion that ends up on a blank screen. Which might be it's loader - I thought I'd fixed it, but will check. Now this is interesting, as your physical floppy appears to have exactly the same corruption as the floppy I've imaged (it has bitrot). Without fixing it, Zarkon Invasion d...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
It's CTRL-SHIFT-F1...F9 to swap floppies Tested this, scores still not saving. I've just tested. It appears CTRL-SHIFT-F1 is sufficient to write disc 1 back, so no 2nd disc image is required. After getting a high score in Mazey, I immediately did a CTRL-SHIFT-F1 and then rebooted. On reloading it h...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
tried pressing Ctrl+F2, then Ctrl+F1 after a high score update. Notably, the egg timer does not appear as it usually would when switching discs. It's CTRL-SHIFT-F1...F9 to swap floppies As this game doesn't use any complex protection, you can speed things up by imaging as an ADF. Also tried this, a...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
Some games just can't be run from HD, so there's no option but mount and boot the floppy - as in this case. That's a shame, as high score saving is pretty important in this particular case. It's a non-issue long-term as flushing will write back to the floppy image in real-time. Until flushing is im...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
I thought that the point of a HDD install is that all files are read and written locally rather than on the floppy image Some games just can't be run from HD, so there's no option but mount and boot the floppy - as in this case. F1038701 WolfPack (1992) (Software 42) I'm having problems making a JF...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
Also, small suggestion - when using the Flush option (which can take a while) for a JFD, after you click OK in the confirmation dialogue, there is no feedback to the user that the flush operation is in fact happening. An egg timer icon or progress bar would be a nice to have here so the user knows ...

Re: ADFFS 2.85
In that case, it's probably where I hadn't backported the code fixes to RO3. Try the latest obey.zip and see if that resolves it.
Q. Does your copy have original high-score tables? I've been looking for an untouched original for some time.
