Hello,

I have downloaded the file "peintures face a.dsk", but I have encountered read fails et no directory.
Is it only for me ? Possible to reupload it ?

BTW is there a "peintures face b.dsk" ?

Thanks in advance. 🙏

Nice prod! Very Frenchy, very CPC, very previous-centuries.

Excellent graphics in the "overscan but no interlace or switching" category!

How were the graphics prepared?

* Magical software?
* Semi-magical software with a strong dose of parameters hand-tuning?
* Some manual retouching?
* Programmed using a butterfly by a real Programmer (https://xkcd.com/378/)?

I will ask the author  8)

Thanks for reupload.
But same problem for me : the dsk isn't readable (tried on a emulator, not a real CPC).

Hi! Got exactly the same file from both locations (Google Drive and files.fm). Here's the sha256:

47b7d6d3021c8274333d345767bb603f40e187eb58c1ac6230990a28ae719dc5  peintures face a.dsk
And same result as @poulette73 .

Why not simply attach the file to the CPCWiki forum post?

here is the file.

Sorry, it does not work for me.

Well, same exact content again.

Tested with cpcec, caprice32, RetroVirtualMachine, same result "Drive A: read fail".

I see the file is bigger than normal.
Is it some non-standard layout? Is a specific ROM needed?

> Is it some non-standard layout? Is a specific ROM needed?

I mean: I see the video shows a machine equiped with ParaDOS. Not every real CPC has this.

Not every CPC owner has modern frankendevices. I run prods on some of my 3 real CPC, all hardware from the era, transferred via audio cable or cassette-jack adapter.

If that disk actually needs this ROM to run, it would be best to have a "regular" build of the prod with a standard layout.

This is not a criticism of the prod! The prod is great!  ;)

The disk image is formatted with 80 tracks instead of 40 and 10 sectors per track instead of the regular 9 in order to get 400KB disk space instead of the usual 180KB.

@cpcitor : Yes you found it, that's right. 👍

With the Parados rom, the disk is read correctly.
It's a PARADOS 80 type formatting for about 400 Kb.
