This is not a DOSBox question. Ask in Milliways.

So what's the deal with 1.033 ? Fixed bugs?
Can't the damaged files be retrieved from the other floppy format since the game came with both 3.5" and 5.25" media?

Yes, 1.033 fixed some bugs related to the score I think.

I dont have a 5.25drive at the moment..
My guess is, as this is file .004 on floppy 4, 001 is floppy 1 and so on. Maybe the files on the 5.25 is split different?
Someone knows? 😀

The resource files were split into smaller sizes for the 5.25 diskettes and spanned across more diskettes. This required a different map file as well.

My guess is that those files where from the 1.023 version? Wrong size.

Understood; I was thinking we could compare the md5sums for any of the resource files that are still readable on your floppies. Maybe you can read 000 through 003?

If the map file on disk 1 is identical then the resource files would most likely be the same, however if any between versions are different sizes there is little point in comparing the hash.

Have you tried Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier? I have had decent luck with it in the past. http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29
