Is there a direct 1:1, GDI image of the Propeller Arena GD-R out there? If not, where is the original GD-R now?
That was before I was a member here so I can't really tell for sure. But I think it was found on a GD-R. That said, the GDI file format didn't exist then and it was only released as a selfboot CDI AFAIK, so it's very unlikely that anyone has a GDI of it, beside the owner of the hypothetical GD-R. If it was dumped though a Katana's serial or a GD-X, and if we had those files, it might be possible to make a 2048 bytes/sector GDI out of it that'd be nearly 1:1 to the GD-R, beside the EDC/ECC. Whoever still has the original GD-R could easily make a GDI though, if the disc is still in good shape.
The released build 100% came from a GD-R disc, which later got re-sold here again. Current owner is unknown.
Definitely came from a GD-R disc. Pardon the new account. I am currently locked out of my original. -ServiceGames-
A Propeller Arena gd-r was sold on US ebay maybe 4 or so years ago. I contacted the seller and he said it was an E3 demo and not the full game. Not sure where that ended up but believe it's undumped.
