Copy program (noise?)

The program I used long time ago was Synchro Copy:

It features:

• A fancy GUI!
  
• Copy of extra tracks 80 to 82.
• Erase (unformat) upper side sectors when copying single-sided disks.
• Nibble mode to copy protected disks.
• Super-fast speed.
• Use of all available memory.

It was really a great tool! I found no trace of it on the net, but still had it on a real floppy. If I remember well the coder was a french guy (a train driver !), named Eric or something...

Be sure to activate the "Nibble" mode (F6 key) to make copies of protected disks.

There's also a ROM dump program included, with a "virtual MSX" interface!

I don't think this tool was commercial (although there's a "Copyright E.I soft 1993" displayed). The intro with greetings makes me think it was free to copy. Let me or the admins know if that's not the case.

Anyway, you can grab it here: Synchro Copy 4.0

In Brazil there were two programs able to copy any copy protected MSX game. And there were some heavily protected here, since those ports had direct access to the FDC. The disk version of Nemesis (Microsol) was one of those heavily copy protected games.

Those are the programs. But they require a interface that follows the Microsol de facto standard.

- Chave Mestra
- Top Pirate II

Chave Mestra required an awful number of disk changes. But was able to copy any MSX game. Top Pirate II was almost as capable, but it supported 256KB MegaRAMs. This reduced a lot the number of disk swaps.

I liked using BASS copy, because of the audio sample...

Do you have this program already? All the links are broken! Thanks!

Thanks, Man! I'll try it soon :)
