Hot damn. A copy of this finally got dumped? Bad-ass.
Too bad it wasn't the earlier software, prior to the blue grid. Still, bad-ass.
I wonder how well the software would run on my A2000 (non-Prevue). It has a SuperGen 2000S genlock in it, but it's not properly working. It can output Amiga graphics to composite or Y/C by themselves, but won't properly key them over incoming video. For this purpose, that likely won't matter one bit, since we don't really have any video to put through them, nor do (I think, anyway) we know exactly what, if any, informatin the system retrieves from the VBI. Do we know exactly what Amiga hardware configuration the software requires (aside from the Prevue support hardware, I mean CPU, RAM, and the like). Every Amiga-based EPG and Prevue video I have seen shows it running on a 1.3 ROM system, even in the later days before they moved to Windows boxes, long after the introduction of 2.x and even 3.x for a little while (I think there were still some Amigas in service in the late 90s, weren't there). AriX, what hardware config are you currently emulating to get the progress you have now? I'm hoping this will at least run somewhat on an accelerated machine, as my A2000 doesn't have a functioning 68000 chip, but is fitted with an '030 accelerator.
Any one of the few people to possess the ADF mind bunging it my way? I've dreamed of having this software for damn near 20 years, and when I get a chance I'll definitely hook up the old A2000 and try it out. For shiggles, I might even try it out on my A3000 (which only recognizes it's 1MB of chip RAM, but not it's 3MB of fast RAM).
Also, has anyone possessing the ADF tried to salvage deleted files from the disk? Depending on how often updates happened, how they were implemented in the software, and how much of the system they touched, there might be prior data somewhere on that disk. Someone send me a copy of it, and I'll run it through DiskSalv, see what I can find. If that hasn't already been done, of course.
One more thing to consider doing - allow the software to boot up in WinUAE, and at the point where the error messages are on screen, dump RAM to a savestate. Should be able to look for strings that way
