I got fed up with Marauder II not being able to backup any of my software
so I bought Project D. First thing I tried it on - it failed.
I so pissed off at there not being any decent copiers for the Amiga. I've
had the best results with an ancient PD copier called AHA!.
Does anyone know of a *good* copier? Like one that will backup Bubble Bobble,
Menace, Speedball, Xenon, Populous, Sidewinder...
Also, both Marauder II and Project D are american products. Dealer support
in the uk doesn't exist. How can I get new brain/parameter files?

P.S I don't want to sound like a complete clutz, but why can't a program
be written that goes *so* low level that it evades all these blasted protection
schemes? They used to on my Atari XE!
P.P.S No flames about (imagined) piracy please, I'm ready to ill...

How can I get new brain/parameter files? > Discovery has gotten out of the disk copying business with the advent of their game software. The last brain file released was BF10. Many people have strong complaints about that version. Some of the titles which were supported for BF3 aren't copied correctly with the newer one. Other copiers are RawCopy, and NIB (the latter is public domain, and is the only one that I know of that copies DungeonMaster) > - m a r c u s - > >P.S I don't want to sound like a complete clutz, but why can't a program >be written that goes *so* low level that it evades all these blasted protection >schemes? They used to on my Atari XE! > The Amiga was designed with considerable flexibility in the read rate of floppy disks. Although the write rate is required to be within 1.5% of nominal, the read rate is allowed to differ by at least 5%. There isn't any way to trick your drives into writing 5% slower or 5% faster to the disk, but with special drives which spin slowly, and customized software, copy protection schemes can write readable disks which cannot be duplicated on your machine. (You could slow down your drives as well, but then you wouldn't be able to write normal disks, and many of the software protection schemes work by changing back and forth between slow and fast tracks. > Please, no flames about (imagined) piracy! > > You have put a spell on me!
