SST Wrong Disk Error?!
Hi,
I'm using Saltine's Super Trans-copy to try to make some .NIB images
of some copy protected Disks. I've followed the directions almost to
the letter yet everytime I get to step 26) I insert the BACK.DSK but
the program keeps telling me "Wrong Disk!!! Insert data disk Side 1
and press return". What am I doing wrong?
I'm using AppleWin 1.13.2 as the emulator
- Rob
Saltine's Super Transcopy Steps.
..
0) Make sure any "Quick disk" options are disabled on the emulator
1) Format an Apple floppy on both sides. (INIT HELLO)
2) Put the Dos 3.3 disk with SST on it in drive 1
BRUN SST
3) Select '1' for 'Pirate a Disk'
4) Select '2' for 'Pack Disk'
5) Use all of the Default settings
6) Place copy protected disk in drive 1
(You can use one drive, but will have to swap disks when
prompted)
7) Place Formatted floppy in drive 2
8) Select all defaults - when the message 'Insert BOTH disks and
press
RETURN' is presented, press RETURN. At track 17 you will be
prompted
to flip the data disk (in drive 2) over - do it!
9) When the copying is done, transfer both sides of the data disk
to
disk images using one of methods described earlier in this text.
Call the front of the disk FRONT.DSK and the back BACK.DSK
10) Load the disk image for SST into disk 1 of the emulator.
11) Copy the blank.nib image to an appropriate name (e.g. game.nib)
12) Load the game.nib image into disk 2 of the emulator.
(Steps 13 - 18 are necessary due to a bug in SST which fails to move
the
disk arm back to track 0 on drive 2)
13) Reboot the emulator
14) Select 'E' for Copy II+ 5.0 from the boot menu (CAPS LOCK MUST
BE ON!)
15) Go to Sector Editor
16) Select Disk B
17) Type the letter 'R' to read a sector
18) Type '0' for the Track and '0' for the sector pressing ENTER
after each.
19) Reboot the emulator
20) Choose 'B' for EDD/SST from the boot menu (CAPS LOCK MUST BE
ON!)
21) Choose 'Pirate a Disk'
22) Choose '3' to unpack a disk
23) Choose '1' for packed parms
(You may choose '2' for your parms, but you need to know what
you
are doing! If you want to nibble count the track, choose the
manual nibble count option when it is presented. This will not
work right now because the emulators do not have any way of
changing
individual track lengths on the fly. This means that any disks
that
need precise track lengths will not work until the new standard
is
implemented)
24) Use all default options
(You can unpack only certain tracks if you desire)
25) When the message 'Insert BOTH disks, then press RETURN' appears,
insert the FRONT.DSK image in drive 1 and press RETURN
26) When the message 'Turn DATA disk over and press RETURN' appears,
insert the BACK.DSK image in drive 1 and press RETURN
27) When process is finished, I would either close the emulator down
or put another image in drive 2 to make sure the .nib file gets
closed properly.
28) Insert the new .nib file in drive 1 of the emulator and reboot
it
to see if it works.
