KGWHD - Feedback on Xmas Update...

[killergorilla]

Hi folks,

I've finally finished uploading the December pack...

It's 663 files, and weighs in at just over 500mb. You'll find it on my newly created "archives" page.

Oh and... I've uploaded brand new #-Z (yeah I lied about not finishing them).

They now contain every whdload install, minus a few exceptions (ACP&TCP games, games with errors, a few language versions...) which makes a grand total of 2500 zips.

http://guildserver.co.uk/kgwhd/

Please enjoy these over Xmas and have a great one.

Oh and one last thing... if you use my whdload packs and haven't already taken a look at my donations page, please take a look...

[alexh]

So did you have a Beeb or an Electron?

I had an Electron. Damn stupid, incompatible PoS.

And the best place to buy games was..... not WHSmith, or John Menzies or places like that.... wait for it.... it was the local Texaco Petrol station!

They had all the Beeb/electron games for £2.99 each.

My favourite game at the time was, looking back, soooo lame. It was "Escape from Moonbase Alpha".

It wasn't until much later, long after the Electron had been banished to the cupboard, I discovered the delights of games such as: Repton, Gauntlet and some others which escape me...

[killergorilla]

I had both actually, don't really remember the Electron much, in fact the only electron game I had was some weetabix game that came free on a box IIRC.

I remember the Beeb much more, I think I had moonbase alpha actually, I'll have to dig up a piccy to see...

My faves were Felix Meets The Evil Weevils, Castle Quest, Zalaga (Galaga Ripoff), Snapper (Pacman ripoff), Ravenskull, and of course the Repton games.

Oh and stairway to hell was good fun too. Great memories!

I hope that guy finishes the xbox port of BeebEm.

[Magix]

Thank you killergorilla, awesome work! :great

[Marcuz]

I keep having error 403 after an hour of downloading... :( is there someone who has already made a torrent of it?

[Belgarath]

Awful work KG, worst update EVER!

p.s. I hate you.

[viddi]

Thank you for this massive update!! :great

[Anubis]

[bornemannen]

Excellent update KG!

Hope Santa's extra good to you this year! :)

[Belgarath]

Yup there will be a GB Amiga xmas update and yes it will include all the new WHDLoad games (why do you think I hate him ;) )

It will be released xmas eve (hopefully) which will be it's 2 year birthday.

Check all folders carefully this time, before you release it. :D ;)

[Belgarath]

I have no idea what you mean! :nervous

[killergorilla]

Belg is so happy today!

Oh and by the way, I've added a DAT to the main page if anyone wants it.

[DamageCase]

Hey everyone,

KG, thats awesome commitment to the scene buddy... Thanks heaps.

Could you please just check the link to the dat file? I tried to get it but 404 not found.
(I currently have the packs from the pleasuredome but they are all renamed from your structure - I wanna cleanup before downloading the files that I need... instead of the whole whopping 2.8Gb)

Great news!!!!

Ohhh, Happy Birthday GB Amiga!!!

[Marcuz]

may i give a suggestion for future packs? to make 2 directories one for games that may sfely be decompressed in windows and one for games that (to your knowledge) need to be decompressed inside the amiga os?

Not a chance. :)

[Marcuz]

in that case, where it is that thread with the names of the games that need the amiga to be unzipped? i may add some :cheese

[Morkai]

Hi KG

many thanks for this giant pack-update und your fantastic work



Does anyone else have problems with the C, D and S pack's?

I got an error message when extracting them. I this a 7zip problem?

Merry Xmas :xmas

Morkai

[Shoonay]

@Morkai: When unpacking the December update, I got 23 (!) "can not open output file" errors in the \Racter\Data\ folder, using the latest 7zip x64 on Viśta x64. There's also a blank named, 234kb file in the TrivialPursuit\Data\S folder - undeletable without "special" operations (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=30587).

[Marcuz]

that's because prolly they can be unzipped by amiga only? it happened to me too

[frikilokooo]

I've had problems with a pair of games to unpack under XP.I've unpaked those games under Amiga,it's not a problem:great
I unpack the package in the desk because the name route is shorter.

[pbareges]

:xmasthank you very much gorilla master!!! happy christmas to all of you degenerated brits

[Steve C]

Thanks KG your work is very much appreciated by the seriously lazy. (me, I mean).

:bowdown (seriously).

[Arnie]

I had a problem unzipping in windows using winzip & winrar so i unzipped using the amiga, one file gave me problems in the WHDLoad Games Update - 2007-03-27.zip, "Curse of Enchantia....", the name is to long for the amiga?.

Edit: OOps almost forgot, Thanks for the games KG, nice work.

[Antiriad]

I hope that guy finishes the xbox port of BeebEm.

Don't hold your breath on that project, he went silent very quickly...

Someone just needs to report X-Ports port of mess which he used for the Atari 7800 emulator to be configured to BBC games instead. There must be some half decent coders around who could...

Anyway, thx Killa! Btw will I need to re-download the # to Z games as well? My ones date from early March.

[thinlega]

@killergorilla

I always wondered if you were named after that game. I had an electron version of it, I love the noise the metal "I" made as it bounced down the screen! :D

[Bloodwych]

Great timing KG and thanks for a fantastic xmas prezzie. :great

Your hard work always appreciated.

[Kristian95]

Super work KG!!! :) Can't express my appreciation enough!! Once again a huge thumbs up from Denmark (soon to be California hehehe) :)

[Slayer]

Nicely done again sir :) :D

[fc.studio]

Giant and superb update! :great

Many many thanks KG! This is much appreciated. :D

...and my best wishes for the new year. :xmas

[formater]

Hello!

C,D, and S seem to have failed uploading or corrupted or something, I'll reupload them when I get a minute.

a.k.a. not right now.

Cheers...And a happy new year to you..

[killergorilla]

I've just started uploading them again.

My upload is only around 30kb/s so it's going to take a while :)

If they are finished by next year I'll be surprised ;)

Which packs are these games from. they are not in the C or D packs that I have??.

[killergorilla]

Those games are in the C, D and S packs on my site at the moment. (Not the ones in the archive.

And for info... the uploads finished fine, they all seem to have uploaded ok this time.

Sorry for the mix up!

[batwinky]

I get "403 forbidden" when i try to download files, anybody else get that?

[Picard]

Thanks for fixing those.I just noticed the same problem my self.No 403 error here, at least not in C,D and S packs.

[killergorilla]

No idea why the 403 errors happen, they seem to appear every now and then!
