Restoring original Amiga disks?
« on: August 07, 2006, 06:19:03 PM »
Here's a seperate situation I have.  I have an original NTSC version of "Ikari Warriors" by Elite for the A500, as well as a boxed copy of "Rainbow Islands".  It would seem that if I insert either disk into the floppy drive, they list as 'DF0:NDOS'.  When I tried to use my ReloKick disk to softkick into 1.3 to load them, the screen fades out from gray to black with no response.  I got the same results making ADFs of the disk and trying them in WinUAE.  Is there any that I can get the two games restored somehow?

Unfortunately I don't have one of those.

Well, thing is I've tried to use utilities to connect the 1200 to my PC through a null-modem cable.  When I try to copy the disk directly to a PC it gives me "Error reading track".

Tried that with Ikari Warriors.  WHDload gave errors of a bad disk images.

And again, when I used ReloKick to try and boot the games, the screen goes from grey to a fadeout from white with no response.

Nope, still the same thing.  Also, both working disks for Pac-Mania still show garbled graphics (I'm guessing something on the board itself is damaged).  Doing this in WinUAE doesn't give me that same problem.
