Transferring better than life 1 to physical Disk?

[tjohnson]

Hi all , I offered to help transfer some software to physical disk for ComSoft6128 but have been unable to copy "Better than Life 1".  The first disk seems to have a weird structure after track 7 and the 2nd disk had the same odd format throughout.


Does anyone have any idea how to do this or is it a lost cause?


Cheers Trevor

Never tried, but I might have some time tomorrow and I'll try it out.

Nope, whatever I try gives me an error on track 7.

Thanks for trying, appreciated.

If you have a HxC, the hfe files on CPCRulez work fine. You just can't copy them to real media.

Thanks for trying, it seems to have an odd disk format, in glad it wasn't just me that had issues with this.  Thanks Trevor

I haven't tried this myself, but the program Punishment that was included with issue 3 of Better Than Life may be able to copy the HFE files to a real 3" or 3½" disc. It was programmed specifically for copying BTL.

Just tested cpc-power dsk image to a 3 1/2" floppy using CPCdiskXp.
Working fine.
What did you try ?
