Background: I bought a huge MSX collection with hundreds of floppies and original games some time ago. For preservation purposes I want to dump the floppies. For this I bought a Kryoflux and a NOS Sony Floppy drive.
To do an initial test, I used Illusion City diskettes and use the Kryoflux tool to create the stream files. I then used the HxC tool (by drag + drop of the first stream file, rest gets loaded automatically) to convert it to DMK. These files are then around 1MB per floppy. As suggested in another thread here I also converted it to .img and then renamed this to .dsk, in that case the file is around 720kB.
If I load it as floppy image in openMSX (with FS-A1GT profile and rom) it just stays stuck in an endless loop in case of the .dmk
If I load the .dsk (originally .img) the game loads but an error appears that the copy protection blocks further loading.
Does any of you have a suggestion how I can get a proper image that preserves the copy protection and is correctly loaded in openMSX? I want to make sure to have the correct workflow before attempting to dump these hundreds of floppies.
Illusion city is in a original game box with both manuals and all, hence I am pretty sure it is genuine. Besides the 8 game floppies there is also a crack + translation disk, although I suspect that it was used because of the translation.
My real FS-A1GT is currently undergoing repair + mod (audio mod), hence I sadly cannot test the game on the real device.
