Title: Re: Early Automation Releases - Custom Packer?

I think I asked this ages ago and it may have been Ozzwald who replied that they were indeed packed with the standard LSD packer but as SHW points out the header had been changed to something other than the usual LSD! or whatever so depack programs don't recognise the header and can't depack.

So with a bit of hunting around and a hex editor you should be able to depack them using your depack proggies but then you get stuck into the myriad of mess like ggn stated.  However I think I was also told that the single parted proggies should work, it was when I was trying to get them to work on the Falcon, where code that ran nicely on the 68000 would fail on a 68030 and hence the need to depack the proggies and either run them uncompressed or repacked with something like Ice or Atomik? or the speedhawks packer ....

I think we should motivate AXE/Delight to write a new 680x0 firendly packer ... or maybe even Ray/TSSC?  :o

cheers
