For others, who want so scan something, I want to post this link to the SPS scanning guidelines. And buy an A3 scanner, it really saves hours of joining pieces of boxes, manuals and posters together! Additionally, my scanner has a little strip of non-scanning (omitted) area at the edges, so I place the item in the middle of the scanning area. If the item must be hold manually (e.g. if its a scan of the small sides of the box), I put a (dvd-) box beneath it (aligned at the guide edge), so I can hold them together even if the box is very smooth. And, to avoid shining-through of thin paper in manuals, I place one (or 2 adjacent) black A4 sheets in the manual at the next side. As info: scanning one item takes approx. 3-4 minutes (preparing the black sheets, preview, scan, rotating picture), thats why I scanned often 2 pages at once. -

I have scanned the third batch of my Atari stuff. It can be found under http://xatremu.whdload.net/batch3.zip I will leave this up only one week, so better get it now. -

Since I had no reply from Farb to this message, I write it here again: As to the Conan EU question, the box reads Datasoft presents: Famous Faces TM Conan The back side of the instructions however, said at the last side: Manufactured in the U.K. under license from Datasoft, Inc. by U.S. Gold Limited, Unit 10, Parkway Industrial Centre, Heneage Street, Birmingham B7 4LY A note to the dumps: I think that a few dumps miss the backside (eg. Four Great Games Volume 2 and Atari Smash Hits 5). For one sided games, I dumped the disk one time with a flippy-modified drive. Later I made a second dump session: This time, I dumped all disks with an unmodified drive as that gave better read results (but not imaging the first 8 tracks [of 80] of the back side), and then the disks with content at the back side again with another flippy-modified drive, in the hope that the back side can be assembled from both dumps in case the read result was different with both drives. So please check the backside of some games. -
Kryoflux dumps usable in XF551 emulation: xatremu is there
Harry1968 replied to Harry1968's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I think it would be probably the best to submit the dumps to both projects. A new xatremu is there (xatremu_with_atari800_20160918.tgz). It supports CT dumps made with 40 track drives (and MFM IPFs, which is not very useful atm as there are no official IPFs yet and only 5% of games are in MFM). -

WATR is only the write container for files mounted in xatremu and can not be used standalone. Since it is not possible to write disk data in an application to Kryoflux CT or IPF I needed a such write container. XATR was planned but became obsolete before implementation because the caps library could meanwhile read CT dumps. IPF is a format in which the Software Preservation society releases its verified and processed dumps, and Atari 8-Bit support is planned since a long time, and takes little expense to support in addition to CT. ATX is not fully supported in the atari800 emulator, and thats the one I use under Linux. And as I looked the last time, its format was also not fully documented. The source code of the Caps library however is available and thus future-proof. -

Oh, at the moment its assumed that you use an 80 track drive to create the dumps (will require a small change for me to support 40 track drives), and use the standard 5 revolutions.
