Wasteland from Archive
I have been trying for what seems like weeks to get Wasteland by Interplay working on my system. I've written the .dsk images to floppies with ADTPro. I go to the copy screen and I can't seem to copy side 1 of the game. Sides 2-4 seem to have copied correctly, but never side 1. All I get is a messed up screen of graphics. If it helps at all, I've been using both my //e and //c  I've only got one Unidisk for the //e.

Hi MilesPrower2001!

ADTPro is not the best option for burning floppy disks from images. I use a simple utility to convert dsk files to wav for further recording via cassette input and LOAD command.

Wait, what??

 

You mean one of the mnore reliable ways to get data into an Apple II via the serial port is LESS reliable than the uber-unreliable cassette port method?

Why convert a .dsk image to WAV?  Why not then just use ADTPro via the cassette port method?

This comment makes no sense.

 

Clearly something is wrong with either the disk image or the diskette.

Have you tried at least to load that disk image into an emulator like AppleWin or Virtual II?

Hi baldrick!

I respectfully disagree with you that the cassette input loading method is extremely unreliable. It's very reliable. Just try it and you'll realize how fast and convenient it is.

And I respectfully diagree

And I respectfully diagree with you. ADTPro is absolutely th best thing I found to transfer disk images back to real disks. I started using it before it got to version 1 and have never had any trouble. Now with the CFFA3K in my ROM 01 GS, DAN II card in my enhanced IIe, FUJIApple connected to my //c+ and the FloppyEMU hooked up to my ROM 03 I have the ability to run the disk images on the real hardware.

 

If I decided that  I wanted a particular game back on a real disk, I'd still rely on ADTPro. To me it is the best way to transfer disk images back to real disks.
