I also remember using VGA Copy to copy protected floppies. The copy protection usually consisted of using nonstandard disk formats, with each track having a different number of sectors, and often one or two intentionally broken sectors. VGA Copy just read the raw track data from the drive without trying to understand the data, unlike Diskcopy.
@happyemi236 жыл бұрын
I was half expecting a plot twist of a disk error when trying to copy the last file of the last disk.I still remember the noise of the disk when trying to reread the same sector 2-3 times before showing an infamous "disk error"

Does someone remember ARJ? I used to get totally legal copies of videogames on up to 20 floppy disks compressed with ARJ. As a 13 year old in 1995 with horrible english skills and without internet access or any kind manuals it was such a hassle to figure it out. But I remember how satisfying it was to finally play the banned "rise of the triad" after unpacking 15 floppy disks. Good old times. Now I can download it on steam in one second.

well all know you can download abondendware games from the internet. my question is how can i put these games on a floppy to make it playable. alot of games just dont work. and alot of games are bigger than 1 floppy. for example simcity2000 you can download in the internet does not fit on 1 floppy but the original game came just on 1 floppy how did they do that? and how can i put a game on 2 or 3 floppys and make it bootable like a original game?
@TheTurnipKing6 жыл бұрын
Sim City 2k most certainly came on more than one floppy disk. Heck, even OG Sim City came on more than one disk
@armorgeddon4 жыл бұрын
Sim City 2000 came on two disks. Abandonware you can download often comes in already "installed form" which means somebody just took his installation of a game from his HDD, compressed it into zip i.e. and put it onto the internet. To play it on a real DOS machine you need to transfer it via any storage medium and if your only choice is diskette than you need to create a multi-disk compressed archive in a format that can be uncompressed insight DOS. Btw PC games that came with multiple diskettes were never bootable AFAIK. The only booter games I know of were single disk games, like the awesome game Digger for example.
