Schatzjäger - Extremely rare - HELP NEEDED!

[viddi]

Happy New Year, guys.

I dumped "Schatzjäger CPC" a few years ago via my CPC Plus 3" -> 3,5" -> CPCXP

The game doesn´t work on Plus machines (original 3" copy) and even if I create HFE files for the HxC (classic 6128) it doesn´t boot.

So, please help to archive this very rare CPC game (a working version dsk, cpr and or hfe). CPC Power doesn´t have it and there are almost no info about the CPC version on the web!

Longplay C64 version:

I suggest you to get in touch with dlfrsilver
He is regularly doing preservation dump (disk or tape) and is contributing to cpc power.

Thanks!

Yeah, right. I also know him from the EAB.

Maybe my DSK files are good enough...we´ll see.

The dump is missing track 40

schatz attempts to read a sector on track 40 and fails.
there is data here..

Can you redump it with track 40 and 41?

[viddi]

Ah, I see.

I already did a new dump with 42 tracks today.

I only have an USB fdd atm, though.
Any chance to convert the disk with it?

My setup for dumping: CPC 6128 Plus 3" internal, 3,5" external, c4cpc (doesn´t seem to work with the external drive)

Can´t use the 3,5" drive with the original 6128 due to a missing cable...

Do you have a minibooster or cpcbooster and a pc?
you could use arkos tools to dump from 6128plus to pc?

Sorry, no.

BTW, I used Discovery Plus to copy the original 3" copy to 3,5" disks.
"Schatzjäger" doesn´t seem to be protected, so I guess all I need to do is to transfer my 3,5 disks via CPCXP.
But I´m not sure...

I think the sector(s) on track 40 has a different id than normal, but I think it's valid (no crc error) because the standard disc rom routines are used to read the data.

Do you mean CPCDiskXP?

I think that would be good enough.

Try it, attach it and we'll know.

Yeah, CPCDiskXP of course.

Ok, I´ll be back with the new dump soon. Thanks!

it seems to read valid data in sector id 6D

protection system anticopy like in Toad Runner i think

Great news!

Check out the first post for a working version of the game (41 tracks) plus disk scan!
Have fun.
