I''ve got Problem Solver 1.0 and 2.0, along with a Shibumi disk titled Rat Driver.

I'll have to hook my datacentre up to my BBC Master, but will attempt to get an image from the disks asap, corruption and / or protection permitting!

what is the issue regarding mmc/sd card that requires (major?) fixing?

Posting this here, since it was in the Last Days of Doom wallet.

I've just read the review of Hezarin in the November 1990 issue of the Micro User and found it came with the Last Days of Doom. As the Last Days of Doom is available as a download I just wondered why Hezarin isn't ? Reading the review it sounds like a big miss..... Just found this in my Last Days o...

Could've been from here?

There are two screenshots detailing the changes in the zip file.

Whether it's a "fix' or a change based on personal preference about the original author's level design is open to interpretation

Might be helpful to know what (bad) command is being issued on line 20

For the sake of completeness, here's a dump of the original 40 track disk

I'd certainly be interested in one, when they become available!

seems I had the 40T disc version (going by manual), hence the two discs, below for completeness. AFAIK the game was supplied on 2 disks... The first having drive 0 being 40 track and containing the game code. Once this is loaded, based on an earlier check, DRIVE 2 is issued to access DAT1-8 on the ...

Think you must be getting it confused with another SSD, this one says "INSERT DATA DISK.ENTER BLOCK.PRESS FIRE"

how do you play this, does it have all the DAT1-8 files from the .WAV file/s from both sides of tape? usually with my normal version, I press 1 then Space, and off it then goes :? It's taken from the disk version. Select 1 - 8 then <SPACE> and it'll get the correct DAT? and run the game... unless t...

Mathemagic Land

Using viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9061&p=115830#p115830 as a starting off point as potentially what the value of F07 and F0F were, I've managed to get this working... although the instructions on line 260 of START seem to be somewhat garbled!

From box SW164, mathemagical adventure. !BOOT PAGE=&7000:CHAIN"MENU" Which then decrypts the file based on values at F07 and F0F, part of the disc catalogue. Since it's not there, it's hard to figure out what it should be. START seems to be altered every 40th byte. ADV appears to be i...

I wonder if your FSDmaker prog would be able to help with that, BillC? Needs a Model B probably (8271 floppy controller, as you said). http://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13020&start=30#p169337 :?: It's untested on a BBC Master / any BBC with 1770 disk controller, but so lo...

Data CRC errors?

The Acornsoft Hits Volume 2

Trivial Pursuit Baby Boomer Edition

Trivial Pursuit Young Players Edition

The original disk (that I've got, at least) loads the main program / title screen using OSWORD &7F shenanigans and also has an unformatted track to decide 40 or 80 track mode, when then switches to drive 2 for the DAT files.

Should there be any disks with mismatched physical / logical tracks, you could try this *RUN FSD to load, then it transfers data just the same as UPURS. Needs an 8271 DFS to misread sector sizes. Should be a little faster than the previous version, which was terribly slow on Acorn DFS 0.9, since it ...

I thought the Master version was on Side A of the STH copy?

I stand corrected!
Had misnamed my FSD and subsequent SSD files

Since the Master version of Dunjunz was Side B of the original disk, I decided to try Side A on jsbeeb with "BBC B" set as the model and it works fine.
I don't think that the version using sideways RAM was official, and as such I'm not entirely sure it's worth trying to get it working.
