emulator archive disk corruption?

emulator archive disk corruption?

2002-09-21 by ocusce

Hello!! A couple days ago i have downloaded the demo disks from the 
emulator archive in emx format. Now the question is, some of these 
disks sounds perfectly when i put them in my emax II, but a lot of 
the banks sounds horribly and other don't even look to load in the 
emax.
Is this common with the disks of the emulator archive, maybe the pc i 
use don't write the emax disks correctly (note that a lot of banks 
works perfectly), any ideas??
Thanks a lot!!!!!

Hi,
Some users have reported that some EMX files on www.emulatorarchive.com  are
corrupted, however its worth checking you are using DS/DD diskettes that
have been formatted on an Emax before being written to with EMX, and that
you run EMX under native DOS (not in a window).

I will be remaking all the EMX files in the future and putting them on a PC
CD for users. This should cure any remaining corruption issues.
Unfortunately the EMX downloads will be removed from the site soon, as I
need to conserve space.

Regards
Rob

Rob-

I have room on my FTP server. I could host the EMX
files if you like.

Yours,

Bob

If that would work out for the that would be great,    I went to the archive
in hopes of finishing
downloading what I havent and found that the files are indeed offline now.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
