About a week ago, I suddenly had the desire to play the SAM version
of Sophistry, again. I have no idea why.
Of course, living in the United States, I no longer have access to
either my SAM, or my copy of Sophistry (which I purchased when it was
first released).
So, I'm wondering if anyone would have any objection to helping me
out with a disk image...?
You have mail.
It's a bit odd though - the music is messed up and you start the game
with only one life. I think it's detected that it's not an original
disk, and put itself into some sort of pirate-happy demo mode.
Putting the disk into my real Sam demonstrates that the floppy itself
is intact.
Samdisk had read the floppy perfectly (or so it thought) so there's
probably nothing wierd about the formatting of 10 sectors per track
for 80 tracks. Is there some protection going on in tracks 80 and 81?
If so, what can any of us do about it? Is there a way to create
SimCoupe-compatible images of protected disks yet? There was a lot of
talk about this about a year ago...
Simon? Anyone?
