*** BOMB *** BOMB *** BOMB ***

Stop right now what you are doing. DMK Creator 4.0 Masterpiece Edition was unleashed!!!

This tool lets you create an DMK image of a protected disk using direct access to the hardware.
And after that, you can use the emulator OpenMSX to run the disk image.
You can save the DMK file even if you have just 1 disk drive, but it supports 2 disk drives and many mass storage devices. The technology is on your side.

PS: Remeber that if you don't have a mass storage device, you will need 2 formatted disks to receive the DMK file. The file will be split into to 2 files (DEMO.DM1 and DEMO.DM2), one for each floppy disk. In the end, use the tool "File Joiner" to create one DMK file (DEMO.DMK).

Be careful using this tool. It can copy every MSX disk creating a perfect DMK image file. Your protected disk is not safe anymore.

News in ths version 4.0:

1 - Totally new dectection routine to deal with more protected disks.
2 - 100% faster. (For real)
3 - Now the digital track display shows the protections of each track.

Some future opinions from some MSX users:

Wouter: "Man, it rocks. It can't be better"
Manuel: "Come on, I can't believe what my eyes see... Incredible!"

Enjoy it! Smile

Please refrain from stating opinions in my name. I did a few quick tests and it still can't dump Sunrise or Micro Cabin copy protections. So my actual opinion is a bit lower than your prediction.
Especially since I already explained you several times (via email) how to dump such disks. But from reading the v4.0 source code, I see that you're still doing several things wrong. Sigh ... I'll make another attempt later.

With the code you sent me, I have created the Shrines of Enigma protection in a real disk.
Then I use DMK Creator 4.0 to try to copy it and it did that perfectly with 2 different floppy disk controllers.

Try to copy it in your computer using version 4.0.

And try to copy other disks, not just one. Send me the feed backs please.

It's probably more effective to first resolve all issues that Wouter found and let him review the fixes before going public with yet another release that is known to have problems... But... that's just how I look at it.

You do have a 'release early, release often' attitude...

Actually, by now, until nobody tests the tool, it has.no issues.
As I told the last message, it copied a real disk with Shrines of Enigma's protection.

So, please Manuel, test it with lots of disks. Not just Shrines of Enigma.

I really need feed backs from more users with other computers and disks.

Besides the fact that I'm very busy at the moment, I'm not planning to test until all issues raised by Wouter are resolved and confirmed by him. The things he mentioned are not at all only related to Shrines of Enigma, although that test case does cover a lot of scenarios.

Please take a look at the points he made and try to address them one by one, sending him a response on what you did about the comments. That's the best way to get forward, I think.
