Why don't you go and get the unprotected versions of those games?
It's not ideal from Simon's point of view as he is desperate to emulate everything, but it's quite practical. ;-)

If you'd asked this next week it would have been a whole lot easier to
answer!  I've been trying to get a few things tidied up before Christmas,
so
some of it is a bit up in the air.

I've got a test version of SamDisk that will image (almost) any SAM title
under W2K/XP.  It's missing some features from SamDisk 2.0, so it's not
quite ready to replace the existing version yet. I'd be happy to send you
a
copy to try, if you're just looking to image some disks.

One problem is that it creates images in EDSK format, which the current
SimCoupe releases can't read.  I've added support for it, but I'm in the
middle of hacking the FDC emulation so I can't check my changes back in
yet.
It's likely to be a couple of days before I've put all the pieces back
together though.

Hi, I've been reading the list for a year or two now - never replied before
*grin* - I'm one of those silent lurkers mentioned a few months back.

Does this mean I might finally be able to load in Astroball, Manic Miner and
Sam Strikes out?
I managed to load in some of my own old disks, but (maybe not suprisingly)
none of my protected ones. Gave up fairly quickly & they're all hiding in
the attic again now, along with poor abandoned Sam himself.
I think I got Splat working though. Infuriating music to say the least.
