Help with FM Towns

Post by 1983parrothead »

Hi there,

We are struggling to dump floppy images from three FM Towns floppy disks for preservation. Any suggestions? OmniFlop fails.

Have you tried with the hxc software ?

Someone I'm working with probably hasn't used it. Does it require a physical hardware of some sort?

Hi,
you should try with this dumping device:

We appreciate it, caius. Denymentanol will have to purchase and install the device.

It seems that Denymentanol doesn't want to risk dumping Asuka 120% for FM Towns online using KryoFlux, because he's both afraid to damage the floppy disks, and he's bored and depressed. He also doesn't have enough money to purchase the KryoFlux.

Now what? :(

-> Try to connect a 360 RPM drive to the PC to use the hxc software.

OR

-> Connect the HxC (with the lastest firmware) & the drive in the same time on the FM town and make a copy from the drive to the HxC. (... If possible with the FM town...)

Denymentanol has financial difficulties. Any advice?

Well it seems that he is now ignoring me, but I found others who have Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. for FM Towns, and they are at AssemblerGames, but they probably can't afford to buy HxC Floppy Emulator nor other devices designed for dumping floppy images from copy-protected disks, like the DiscFerret and the KryoFlux. They also highly doubt they will work with FM Towns floppy disks.

This version of the game is unbelievably rare, and I'm not kidding. I looked all over the Internet. My only choices are to wait on both, someone from the KryoFlux forum to travel to Japan to find it, while I wait patiently on it to appear in this auction room below:
