I need some help with this as I no longer have the hardware to play them and would like to use the dumps with a emulator, any help appreciated.

Some of them are bootlegs, demos with cracks and intros / trainers alot of which never hit the net irc, all made by friends in the early nineties.

Then you'll need hardware, or a disk imager that'll work with Atari formatted disks.

Your best bet would be to look on the Atari Age forums - I'm sure it will have been discussed there.

Haha I've got some undumped things for the atari too.
From what I remember there's a freeware (or shareware) program that can read amiga and atari disks and allows you to back them up.
Can't remember if I ever tried them to see if they worked but I remember backing some up.

If you have them on floppys you can mount them with Linux,almost the same format as PC FAT12.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, i'll give a it a shot, I remember hearing about that software too but never found the name to it.

In the old days, it required an Amiga external drive with a circuit to parallel.

Like I said, a disk imager should copy them, but whether they'll be readable on an emulator is another matter.

He was talking about Atari, not Amiga?

I remember the Amiga format was always a pain and needed amiga hardware, but Atari was the same or very similar format as PC's - you could use disks interchangeably (Atari -> PC and PC -> Atari)?

The Atari had a 720k PC floppy controller,the STE and later models used 1.44mb.

I had both Atari and Amiga irc, these aren't the only ones I have, I just couldn't be arsed listing the whole lot, once i've dumped them it's ok to share in the Downloads section?

Those disks could be a pain... I had some with some kind of copy protection that I could never get to work/duplicate/image
