| Try using BitTorrent instead; it'd be faster anyway, and you don't have to worry about download corruptions either. | |||

| Somehow, it's not working. I start the program as per the instructions in the README, but when I try to enter any level number, the program closes. The debug file has no seemingly no important information, just what was displayed in the console before the level-select. | |||

Actually nevermind, I was using the Windows PC that barely works -- I boot the rarely-used copy of Windows here, and it's fine  |

Well that was a waste of $20. I was expecting a nice platform that I could keep playing brand-new puzzles; nope, there's about 400 of them and that's all you get  Though $20 is cheaper than three Sudoku books, it's not what you'd expect for an electronic system.
Dammit, I don't want a fixed set of puzzles, I wanted to continuely get millions of puzzles. |

| You can also use the source code to figure out the structure of the PAK files exactly and reconstruct your own game files from scratch This isn't an unreasonable goal, it's pretty much what FreeDoom does for Boom-compatible engines. |

| I would order the Boomerang network if it weren't so expensive to do so. The classics are... classic.
More modern ones I've enjoyed: Dexter's Lab (haven't seen it since I was young) Ed, Edd, n Eddy (ditto above) Futurama (Love it enough that I bought all the DVDs, and I still watch it constantly) Bleach (hey look episode 90 has finished downloading as I'm typing this message, yipee!) |

| If you're using NTFS, just plain use ntfsclone from the RIP Live Linux CD (the non-X version is smaller, I prefer it for that reason). This is the most safe and complete cloning of NTFS, though it requires a competency at CLIs (Linux experience is a bonus, but it's easy enough). RIP also has a utility to backup/restore the MBR, you can't miss it, it's noted at the login prompt.
If you're using FAT, then you'd be fine with using PartImage, also on RIP. PartImage is fairly easy to use, and makes a backup of the MBR in the same file. (though it has NTFS support, it's not yet as good as ntfsclone, thus why I didn't recommend it in the previous paragraph). |

| Linux likes to pretend that USB drives are also SCSI drives in the /dev file-tree (probably just out of laziness of inventing new naming schemes). Your drive might show up as /dev/sda, but use the command dmesg | grep usb to double-check.
In order for you to store the image, the drive will need to have a filesystem on it already. FAT is very likely not possible due to limitations (4GB max file size), full NTFS write support in Linux so new (about a week and half ago), it probably won't be in RIP for some time. So if you don't mind, you'll want to use ext2 which won't be accessible from Windows without special tools/drivers (though the importance of accessing from Windows is neglible, if you're only using it to backup a filesystem). So your first step with the disk is to make one partition that is at least one and a half times the size of the filesystem you're trying to back up (the reason for more is that ext2 will take some space itself, and plus there's space used by NTFS that Windows doesn't tell you about). Set it to type 0x83 just for safety's sake (Linux doesn't care about partition types, but the number is reserved for Linux and it's a good idea for other OSes). What you use to make the partition really shouldn't matter, but you don't want to rely on commercial software to make the filesystem (eg, PartitionMagic and the like tend to screw up; if you use such software, ignore that they attempt to make an ext2 filesystem and head on to making it yourself). Assuming that it's the first partition on the USB disk, and the disk is on /dev/sda, simply type the command mke2fs /dev/sda1; if it's not /dev/sda, then replace the last three letters appropriately, if it's not the first partition, replace the number with 1-4 for primary, 5+ for logical (even if there's less than four primary; also, if you're confused for the partition number, try typing fdisk -l /dev/sda). Mounting is important, you can't use the filesystem otherwise! This is very simple. First create a directory to mount it in, like this: mkdir /mnt/usb. then mount it with this command: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb Whew, I never thought such fundamental set-up steps would take so many words. Really, it's not difficult at all, just don't be nervous and you should be fine. After the disk and filesystem set-up is done, you have the simple task of using backup-mbr and ntfsclone. I've not used backup-mbr, but simply typing the command displays usage information. ntfsclone is a bit more complex ("ntfsclone" all by itself shows a usage summary, you can use man ntfsclone for more detail), but I'll summarize what you'll likely do: ntfsclone -O /mnt/usb/ntfs.img -s /dev/hda1 (This outputs into the image /mnt/usb/ntfs.img, using a special format (makes it easier for ext2 by not having to worry about sparse parts), from the partition /dev/hda1 (assuming that the NTFS filesystem is the first partition on the first IDE disk)). Restoring NTFS is just like backing it up: ntfsclone -O /dev/hda1 -r /mnt/usb/ntfs.img (edited by FreeDOS + on 07-26-06 06:13 AM) |

| Of course there's a part 1.

Just not here. Spoiler: And another note, you can blame Xkeeper for the weird-ass NES program. (edited by FreeDOS + on 07-26-06 08:09 PM) |

| I'm assuming it's being destroyed for security reasons. Use DBAN first and run about 8 passes over the disk, with anything but Quick Erase (only zero; good for clearing a disk for software, doesn't do squat for data recovery). | |||

| isn't it funny how your attitude resembles a script-kiddie cracker: "Nice document, I'll read it later"
Try reading it now, and understand why you are blatently wrong. |

| Nice movie, though it doesn't entirely explain what's going on (maybe the next one should have a voice over?).
And about the scrollbar questions, I like mine. The two buttons on bottom seem best for me, but having the one on top makes it easy to work in this and the Microsoft Windows environment simultaneously without too much hassle. (edited by FreeDOS + on 07-27-06 05:28 PM) |

| 1. Get a good program that can handle Zip files, such as 7-Zip
2. If you're using a download-manager program, try downloading without one. 3. You need 512 bytes of zero before the ROM for Lunar Magic to eat it. Get a hex-editor and prefix 512 bytes of zero to the ROM. Either that, or go ROM-hunting. 4. READ THE FAQs. This is your biggest problem. 5. Thread closed. If you need further software help, try the Hardware/Software forum. If you have more specific hacking questions, either try this forum or general ROM Hacking. |
