IPF Support Library for Mac, finally we got it!
« on: February 10, 2008, 07:40:23 PM »
I don't know how long I've waited for this or how many mails I've sent to try to make this happen, but just when all hope was gone... It happened!

For all those not knowing what IPF is, here's a Richard Drummond quote:

"Basically, CAPS/Softpres came up with a way of making high-fidelity digital images of floppy disks (even disks protected by all the weird and wonderful copy protection systems that the Amiga's hardware allowed people to invent). The CAPS library allows you to access Amiga disks reproduced in this format.

With E-UAE, the CAPS library and an appropriate disk image, you can load and experience a faithful copy of the original floppy disk. You don't need to make do with cracked copies (most ADF images have been cracked)."

This means that the CAPS library can now be run on Mac. Over two thousand preserved Amiga disks, available from ie. The Caps Distributon Initiative is available.

E-UAE hasn't been updated to run the plugin yet, but I think we will see it happening very soon.
