Hey, no reason to laugh! I thought joostp should go to his friend to make copies of the DATs, that's all.

Exactly. I got a streamer from Seagate with firmware. Before it could only store from DDS-2 tapes. I hope you can afford to buy one. If not there's still my solution. But I'd prefer if you sent me copies that were copied in a double decker.

Just for information: The DDS tapes didn't contain the Simon 2 files of English version, it was from the German, so if I could have used it I wouldn't need DAT 4 now. DDS is completely different format than DAT. For DDS restoring you need the exact software that wrote it (a retired member told me th...

Yes, of course. Thanks to remeber my project. Unfortunately, I just have got the German Simon 2 DATs and one of them was missing. Need to ask the studio for the others. I could maybe also help lending a DAT player. The advantage of using my one would be that it is directly reading the bits and bytes...

How does this MT-32 work? Every game I try crashes (for example MI2). Is it just that I've got a Windows XP computer?

Camstudio was the name of my suggested program (just to be sure you didn't confuse it). Well, it's not really the program, it's rather the used codec. To avoid too big files, the program uses a compression which has got the disadvantage that some quality is lost. Of course you could try to use uncom...

You need extern programs to do that. I would recommend Camstudio because it's free. You can also capture normal activities with it. I'd suggest you use a record window. To join the films together you can use VirtualDub or VirtualDobMod. But be WARNED: Such AVI things need a LOT of space on your disk...

Thanks! Your last message has been very helpful. I just downloaded the program and made me a batch file with this command line. My only question remaining is: How to increase quality? Is there an option to make the program create higher quality outputs?

Since I've got the original German game and the compressed quality of the videos offered on your page is not good enough for me I'd like to convert by my own. But I have no idea on what compression you used. Could anybody please tell me how I can do this?

I have got a modified version of Zak McKraken FM Towns and Indy 3, but I've got trouble with setting the correct md5 at the right place. I wrote the md5 ScummVM suggested just at the last line of the game settings in scummvm.ini, but somehow it still doesn't work. Does it have something to do with &...
