Floppy disk preservation

Preserving diversity

Most versions of Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back were released on copy-protected floppy disks for Amiga, Atari ST, Apple IIGS, X68000 and PC-9801 (various languages and various versions for each language). I would like to collect and preserve all of these versions to make them available through this web site, and for that I need your help. If you have original floppy disks of these games, you can help by dumping them with one of the following tools (they can dump any disk, including copy protected ones):

Kryoflux (Windows/Linux/macOS) https://kryoflux.com/
This hardware can dump any floppy disk from any platform.
SuperCard Pro (Windows) https://www.cbmstuff.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52
This hardware can dump any floppy disk from any platform.
Applesauce (macOS) https://applesaucefdc.com/
This hardware can dump any floppy disk from any platform.
Greaseweazle (Windows/Linux/macOS) https://github.com/keirf/Greaseweazle/wiki
This hardware can dump any floppy disk from any platform.
Software Preservation Society (SPS, ex CAPS) dumping tool (Amiga)
The SPS dumping tool requires at least an Amiga 1200. It is not possible to dump on PC or Atari ST, but the Amiga can dump any floppy disk, including Atari ST floppies. If you don't have an Amiga 1200 or better, you can send your floppy disks to a SPS contributor who will dump the disks for you.
Anyway, you can contact the SPS project at contrib@softpres.org to obtain the SPS dumping tool or to find the nearest contributor whom you can send your floppy disks (of course they will always be sent back to you afterwards).
Pasti - Atari ST Imaging & Preservation Tools dumping tool (Atari ST)
Anyone can use the PASTI dumping tool on a simple Atari ST and make disk images. The images can be used immediately in an emulator with the PASTI plugin (currently supported in Steem and Saint emulators)

More information on SPS

Floppy disks are not eternal and are slowly deteriorating. As most games on Amiga and Atari ST were copy protected, it is usually not possible to copy them on new media. The Software Preservation Society (SPS, ex CAPS) started their project in 2001 with the goal of preserving all the original floppy disks, including copy protected ones. After a lot of work, they are now able to dump any floppy disk from any platform, no matter which copy protection scheme it uses. The dump file ensures that the game will not be lost because of a too old media. A dump file contains enough information to make a perfect disk image (without using any hack or crack). However, dump files are not directly usable and need to be analysed by the SPS team who can then produce floppy disk images in the form of .ipf files. Many .ipf files for Amiga and Atari ST have already been released. They can be used with various emulators.
They already have some dumps of Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back, but they are not yet available as .ipf images because their copy protection involves a special Atari ST track (even on the Amiga versions), and they still have some work to do to fully support that. However this is just a matter of time now.
Of course, you can help SPS with any original game you have as their goal is to preserve ALL floppy disk based games.
