It seems I made a mistake when extracting the files using the "Amstrad CPC DSK Info Tool" and the SCR files attached here ended up having their AMSDOS Header stripped.

The cpcrulez site seems to have been gone, so I couldn't find the original DSKs to try to extract them again.

But the good news is that I found this nifty tool, addamsdosheader, that re-adds those headers back to the files.

With the following command line, the headers were added and the resulting SCR files are now successfully read by the ConvImgCPC utility! 🎉

addamsdosheader <file> binary 0xC000 0xC7D0

So, I'm attaching here the fixed files. Please add support for Recoil to read them, since they're much more convenient than the usual SCR+PAL files:

  • Single file: the palette is embedded
  • Compressed: More pictures can be stored per 3" floppy disk
    _
    Note: This site was blocking the upload, probably because of the files .SCR extension, so I password-encrypted it. The password is "CPC".
