When original MSX software is being published, it is not uncommen to include some kind of copy protection to prevent piracy. One of those is in the form of a protected disk. As a side effect, running these original disks in these modern days of computer emulation, has been difficult. Enter DMK images. These disk images preserve the disk and its protection and let it run on MSX emulators. DMK Creator is the go-to tool to rip those protected disks to a disk image. DMK Creator has just been updated to version 4.8.
This MSX 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. Although it supports 2 disk drives and many mass storage devices, it is able to use just one disk drive.
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).
New in DMK Creator version 4.8
1 - Totally new detection routine to deal with more protected disks.
2 - Option to create Log files for each track.
3 - Bugs fixed.
