COPIERS INFORMATION 00:58 SATURDAY 28-DEC-91
=================== UPDATED SUNDAY 08-MAR-92

> Q U E S T I O N S & A N S W E R S >
///////////////////////////////////////
A lot of people have been asking me lots of questions on ordering the above
copiers...
First off, the units are LEGAL to buy! I'm not sure what the situation is on
you USING them..
The prices given are what they cost YOU! I can't offer huge discounts to
anyone for "special reasons" as, with import duty (Customs take my profit) my
margins are cut by 28-30% (depending on the NT$-US$ rate). If you think that
is bulls**t, call CUSTOMS & EXCISE and ask them yourselves how much they add
on COMPUTER HARDWARE! - Exactly!
(SPECIAL PROTECT TRACK PARAGRAPH REMOVED, YOU NO LONGER REQUIRE SPECIAL DISKS
PURCHASED FROM US, YOU CAN USE **ANY** DISK)
There are 10 HIGH DENSITY disks enclosed. You can buy more disks from us at
competitive rates, and they come in proper plastic cases, in 10's and with
labels.
You can also of course use LOW density disks. However, one 8 megabit game
would normally fit on a HD disk, and then allow a 4 megabit game too! With
2DD you get JUST ONE 8 megabit game on TWO disks!!

===================
There have been people going around saying that the Super Magic Drive is crap
because it does not offer compatibility with other copiers. Infact no copier
is compatible with any other copier.. there is no reason to be.
However any copier that saves the game out as an image file is most likely
able to have a coversion program coded to make the file a Magic Drive, Game
Doctor or Super Mega Twin etc.. compatible file. (This is being looked at)
(NB: THE SUPER MEGA TWIN IS NOW DISCONTINUED, THE MAKERS WENT BUST!)
##############################################################################
** NEWSFLASH ** THERE IS NOW A CONVERTER FILE FOR GAME DOCTOR--MAGIC DRIVE! **
** SOON TO BE UPGRADED FOR MAGICOM AND PC-ENGINE FILES. ALSO CONV TO BINARY **
** AVAILABLE ON AMIGA & IBM FORMATS **
##############################################################################
Rumours have been stating that the Magic Drive is not upgradeable.. Erm, not
correct. DOS 3.1 (and soon 3.2) is supplied on ROM, but you can boot in any
ROM via disk. The latest DOS allows you to format 1.6meg disks, which allows
1 8mbit game & 1 4mbit game.. or 6 2mbit games on ONE DISK! No other copier
allows this! Some only allow 1 game per disk, regardless of size! LAME! On
the Famicom copier (and others soon.. probably by the time you read this) you
even have a built in disk copy function, that copies ANY format disk!
You can expand the RAM to 16mbit, which is more than enough to cater for some
new generation 12mbit games. No 16mbit games exist, and probably wont for
some time to come. **FAMICOM** Street Fighter II is the first game 16Mbit,
and our copier will do it!
(GAME DOCTOR CURRENTLY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO COPY ANY GAME OVER 8MBIT)
The main reason these rumours were started is because some boards only support
their copier (quite understandibly), and so want everyone to buy THAT device.
After all, if everybody purchases the Super Magic Drive (and Magicom/Magic
Super Griffin) then they will lose out. However it is not fair to spread
false stories which will confuse people a great deal when the scene is being
born. **UPDATE** now with conversion programs becoming available hopefully
things will be better now.
We will not be spreading false stories about the other copiers, but only
stating the facts about our own. We let YOU decide what to purchase. Just
remember though, before you purchase a copier, that what you buy will be what
you will then have to use - think of it as a new computer.. you don't want it
becoming obselete.
Finally, it is interesting to note that when we offered the MEGACONV utility
to the distributors in Taiwan, they said "What for, the Game Doctor is shit
and doesn't sell in our country and Hong Kong.." - They were quite surprised
when we said it is selling in the US!!
GETTING DOCUMENTATION
=====================
Mr Scarface of Crystal has offered to start typing documents of Super
Famicom/SNES titles in the near future. So keep a look out on the boards
listed above. Mr Scarface has also begun giving cheats for games on the Super
Famicom/SNES as well as information of the latest releases.
We are also looking for people to type documents on other consoles. And if
anyone can translate Japanese then that is even cooler!
We will be distribute your documents with our files as we release them, and
full credit will be given accordingly. Contact Executioner on Treasure Island

CONFUSION OVER CONTACTING EXECUTIONER?

THE LAST BIT
************
THE CONFUSION OVER TRANSFERRING GAMES
To use the 8mbit games (or bigger) - you will need access to a computer with a
HIGH DENSITY disk drive, eg. a PC.
You can of course download 99% of the games to the Amiga, and transfer with
Cross-Dos (Supplied as standard with Workbench 2.1) to the PC for unarcing to
disk. However, some games are over the 720k allowed on a PC disk.. you can
either download straight to the PC, or connect your Amiga to a PC via serial
link.
However, at time of writing this it was discovered that CrossDos 5.0 will be
supporting the new High Density disk drives now being installed with all
A3000/A3000T systems in the USA. These drives SHOULD soon be available to
replace the drives in the Amiga. It will also include a new package called
CrossPC, which is a software based IBM emulator, that claims to support the
Serial and Parallel ports - this therefore MAY allow you to control the
console through the Amiga. Release date is unknown, but hopefully it will hit
the boards very soon from the release of this text file.
Alternatively to all of the above methods - you could use a IBM emulator
(Commodore Bridgeboard etc.) and connect the console straight to the Amiga.
However you can only use an emulator/bridge that allows FULL use of the
Parallel, and not emulation through the Amiga.
FINAL WARNING
-------------
Certain versions of ZIP on the IBM and ZIP on the AMIGA do not like each
others compressions
To be safe - use LZH or LHA compression!
Otherwise we will start to see corrupt console files on the boards - and this
is not wanted!
