Descent v1.0 Floppy Disk Image Checksums and Recovery Data
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2021 7:19 pm
Hi everyone!
Last year, during the lockdown, I went and found my old Descent floppy disks. I spent a lot of time trying to read the floppies in WinImage, and I was finally able to image all 5 3.5" floppy disks and install Descent in DOSBox. So, I'm posting my checksums for the disk images below to see if I imaged them correctly.
I wasn't able to find anyone else's checksums online, so please let me know if you have the same ones!
I'm sure that others have floppies too, and maybe they are having a hard time reading them? I have some PAR2 recovery data in a torrent too, just in case you have some bad sectors. You can use a PAR2 recovery tool to repair any bad sectors you have. I think I set a block size of 512 bytes and 20% redundancy, but please post if you know better settings to use.
Please note that there isn't any copyrighted data here. It's just the checksums and PAR2 recovery data at 20%.
