i've had a look, and the db seems to run using a crc trye checking system (thats my assumption from running scannew anyway) so, sad converted to dsk, etc wont work until the db knows the crc of those dumps.
probably the same thing applies for the 80 track disk thing, there may be many different versions of the same disk, they are the [a1] numbers, after certain dumps, if you have any unrecoginised dumps left over after running goodsamc, email them to [EMAIL PROTECTED], they'll be included in the next release. if you cant email the actual dumps, rename them and send the scannew file if you have any corrections, again email them, the bloke needs feedback, positive or negative, thats how these things get done! the db so far looks like stuff available on the net, so by no means will it include everything i remember the nes one statring off with about 600 dumps, its now over 6000! > -----Original Message----- > From: Aley Keprt [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 April 2001 11:48 > To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no > Subject: Re: > > Also, > I had to unpack all my images, since it stupidly doesn't accept sad.gz / > SADv2 images. > Also, it seemms that it refuses to accept SAD converted to DSK or vice > versa. > And, finally, it refuses to accept disks with more than 80 tracks (maybe > all > except 80, but I have only 80, 82 and 84). > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Bc.Aley [eili] Keprt - games & multimedia programmer > ICQ: 82357182 (evenings) *** phone: +420-68-5387035 (weekends) > private e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://get.to/aley > office: Illusion Softworks, Brno, CZ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > !!!
