Big source find

Well this was a transfer of assets so I am betting they aren't wiped.
I'll check tonight.

 

They are hard drives from dev pcs from software sculptors.

 

The partitions were dropped, I am doing data recovery. First drive eta: 3000 minutes. However, thanks to overclocked cpu : Ten minutes.

Will update soon.

 

I am using pc inspector, as the suggested program did not find the files.

Estimated $80 mins to scan the clusters. Recovery will take hours.

This program has crashed on me in the past.
Anyone have something stable that can read a unpartitioned drive and recover files?

 

Here's the deal.

The drives have tons of textures, source, and tools.
But the programs I have been trying are crap.

Pc inspector shows me the files, and crashes during recovery.

Virtuallab even has a preview, but it's $40 per 100 mb lol.

Trying active@ partition recovery, but so far it's not seeing what the other programs are...

 

Active@ undelete isn't finding the files.

So far, these drives have SATURN data not psx.
Remember that psx emu card owrks for saturn too. (psygnosis)

We have confidential PSX tech docs! Never seen these before, at the chip level tool.

I need a program that won't rename the files like easyrecovery...

This is very exciting stuff.

WWF4 / Saturn​

Milestone 2 Details​

Jan. 15, 1996​

A copy of the Second Milestone WWF4 / Saturn build is attached. Note that it includes all of points that were specified, with only minor variances. Several additions are also present. The included points are:

All code modules are present. Start-up, fluff, and game code are present, and alpha-tested. CD ROMS have been prepared, for Test, and delivery with this document.
All art is in, with the possible exception of a few pieces of debris, which has been disabled until memory utilization is finalized. This involves reorganization of data, and not a memory limitation.
Audio is in, but with the Sega Sound Driver. See the variances list.
All play modes are functional.
The game is ready for extensive test and debug.
