DumpCD works fine under DOSBox, if CD/DVD drive is set to ASPI mode, at least under Windows XP.Kaminari wrote:As SanguineHearts noted, DumpCD only seems to work on a real DOS config (which I can't verify). For some reason, running the program through NTVDM or DOSBox won't produce a valid ISO.
Switching to a Windows specific utility wouldn't be a good idea, it would make extraction more difficult on other systems.Kaminari wrote:Besides, I should let you know that DumpCD is now considered deprecated in the PCE community since the recent release of TurboRip, which will produce perfect rips of PC Engine mixed mode CDs even under NT systems. Someone might want to have a look at it and adapt extract_loom_tg16 accordingly.
No support for the Japanese release so far.ssdsa wrote:However, when I try to extract the *.LFL files from the Japanese "CODE_02.ISO" file, all I get is this error message:
D:\>extract_loom_tg16.exe CODE_02.ISO
ERROR: ISO contents not recognized!!
Can only explore the first room, but isn't anything to see. As only the subtitles are shown at this point.ssdsa wrote:Anyway, ScummVM detects the English *.LFL files as "Loom (PC-Engine/English)". When I start the game in ScummVM, I get the difficulty selection screen (just plain white text on black background), and after that the game intro starts. All I see is some white text on black background, no other graphics, and no sound. The game seems to hang after that, but maybe it's just running fine and you just can't see any graphics, items or characters. So it's clearly a work in progress.
