This disk misses the needed copy protection which should be a bad sector. If you select a printer, a copyright screen shows up and the system reboots. Forms Generator (1986)(Twenty-Fifth Century)(US)[disk][f].atx Weird-o-Fact: This is the second dump of this program and the third from this company which shows this error. Can you please try if this disk works on hardware? I really don't want to believe that several non-working disks were sold.

Do you have a DD capable drive and did you try to boot side B there? ATX currently does not support DD disks. I have not tried to convert a DD flux image but not detecting anything on a DD flux dump would be a valid option in this case. Can you please redo this disk in INDEX mode? For a diagnostic disk this might be worth the effort. Oh, and I see no need for BASIC with this title.

Haha, the screenshot shows "cracked by John E. of Aura". Whatever he might have cracked in an unprotected COM file...

I agree with a particular BUT regarding preservation: You still have many titles marked "Missing original disk image!" which are actually flux-dumped and part of a8preservation's releases. Now if someone like @seastalker_returns tries to find out which titles still need to be preserved and buys dumps particularly for this reason, (s)he might end up buying something which was already preserved. (Disclaimer: These dumps are quite often still valuable and needed due to the fact that many titles had several differing releases which you can only distinguish by comparing the disk dumps.) In any other case I fully agree with your statement.

Yep, they could. I had created a pair of Frankendisks six years ago and could happily repair your dumps taking the needed 13 sectors from them. In the end only the two bad sectors differ between my handcrafted disks and your repaired dump. Maxi Golf Side 1 Try 1[f].atx Maxi Golf Side 2 Try 1[f].atx

This is true, it was me who brought i up. And for a reason: If you need a new toolchain for technical reasons (like compilers are no longer running), you must migrate to it to enable further development, even if you would like to stay with the old one and even if it breaks compatibility with certain OSs/platforms/whatever. This happened to phaeron developing Altirra and the same happened to the team of developers working on FujiNet. But you are welcome to cry over the old days for a while longer. Oh, and similarly to Altirra: Old versions of the firmware are still working on new devices. Unless you need one of the later added features, there is no need to update it.

To me that sounds like "Why does anyone switch to Windows 10, when XP is still running stable and fulfills all MY needs, but why is this weird developer of Altirra no longer supporting it?"

Thom's approach combines both. For easy implementation and to keep independent from the network, high-scores are saved to the disk (image). It is advisable to re-read the high-score data from disk after each game to catch other players' entries in the table. If (and only if) one wants a webpage which shows these high-scores, then a server based process grabs the high-score data and writes it to per-game webpages. This process is based on small per-game "scrapers" which interpret the high-score data from the disk. Perhaps you can contribute your patched/modified games for FujiNet's servers.

Does the physical disk work? This is the copy protected version as it was released by Atari but without sector 367 being bad. Therefore it fails protection and keeps rebooting.

I forwarded your request to the club's board for answering.

Since this game was written by @Wrathchild's brother (as he wrote in Atarimania's comments field), he might have what you search for.

You can only position the drive before SIO2SD since the cable has no outgoing SIO port. If you talk about drive numbers: It does not matter unless you assign the same drive number to a physical disk drive and an image loaded into RespeQt at the same time. This cannot work because the drive ID is the unique identifier of a device on the SIO bus.

Did you submit these for Thom's high-score enabled FujiNet images?

Check the address label on your last magazine's envelope. I guess that it will show the date like it does for German members.
