Using Chrome and Windows 7 - 64 bit, just an example


1. Line 1
2. Line 2 (now instead of line 3 there will be a blank line)


4. Line 4 (now see if there are one or two free CRs ahead)

There is my version of Disco6 ROM translated and with hidden multiple disc save option enabled online if you haven't tried it, I recommend that.

Gryzor

What's the "hidden multiple disc save" option for?

Mass producing protected games?


That would be naughty ;)

With a dktronic 256k ram expansion, load a disc once and save it 1000 times

Gryzor

I thought you could freely choose number of copies but perhaps in thinking of F-Copy or X-Copy.

So how do you find that option?

It was patched to support 512K RAM too. I was using this ROM to duplicate homebrew games, it save a lot a time... Discology originaly do not allow that feature, because the law allow only one copy for its own usage.

Makes sense... So how to access it though!

zhulien

the D6 ROM after saving a disc (when you have 320kb RAM) asks do you wan to save another.

This program is so handy for games/software never released on disc for 6128/Plus users.

Does anyone know if there is a English language edition of Discology 6 Plus, or even better, have a copy they can upload to the Wiki please?

6.0+ (cpc-power) is supposed to run on 6128plus.
An Englisch Version is there too.

Ultradisc is a good alternative to Discology. It  can bypass many protections, including Hexagon type 1 & 3 and can even simulate fake weak sectors !

GUNHED

... but has a completely different design  ;) :)

Quote from: TotO on 11:21, 15 January 16As I have tested, most of the hacked versions have randown problems. Better to not use them, now that we can duplicate originals.

Known versions are:
- 2.0
- 2.3
- 3.0
- 3.2
- 3.3
- 5.0 (I have ordered this from a magazine advert, but received 5.1)
- 5.1
- 6.0
- 6.0 plus (PLUS compatible)

Reading CPC Power, it look the 3.2 version was already dumped last year by Maxit. (05/2015)



use my Discology6 ROM - that's the best one. Translated and multi-save option enabled.

Hi thanks, does your ROM work properly doing Tape To Disc copies?

It is a cut down disc to disc portion of Discolology 6 also translated into English and patched for multiple copies - which is actually part of the original product but disabled internally for some reason.
