Posts: 2 		We have an old game that used to run in the museum I work for.

I have tried to use Omniflop to recover the data and use an Acorn emulator to run the software.

Unfortunately I have had no success, with errors of Bad Name and Illegal module headers (or words to that effect)

Can anyone test an .adl file and see if everything has transferred across ok?

The disk was labelled ADFS 1.6MB squashed using !squash

Thanks for any help,
Paul

Or perhaps tell us what this 'old game' is and maybe somebody knows where to find a copy? Or is it custom-written/home-made?

Posts: 2 		Sorry, I should have been clearer!

It's a custom written game about building bikes.
I've never had an Acorn before so I'm not sure what I'm/it's supposed to be doing!

If I post the disk image, would anyone volunteer to take a look?
