Stupid Gamebase question

antonvaltaz · 24 November 2009, 20:10

A while ago I got hold of the Gamebase files, then deleted them as I didn't have enough disk space, and I got a bit stuck when setting up.

Now I've got a bit more diskspace and thought I'd try again.

My question then: are the files on the following page ALL the TOSEC ADFs, avoiding the need to fiddle around with torrents?
http://gbamiga.elowar.com/TorrentTemp/

The Games.7z file is 2.1 GB, which seems small for a TOSEC set? How 'complete' is this?

And does Elowar really not mind people using up his bandwidth by downloading such massive files?

GB Amiga and TOSEC aren't the same. That's the 'full-set' for GB 1.6.

Oops, my mistake... still, how 'complete' is the set, in terms of Amiga games? There were a LOT of games and 2.1 GB doesn't seem that big to me.

2711 (taken from GB Amiga 'playable ADFs').
Edit : That's games, not single disks. 7Zip is pretty effective you see

you must understand that each playable adf in gb amiga has been tested by me, and altho i can't guarantee 100% that all are fine and playable to the end, i tried my hardest to make sure each game worked properly and was a good crack.

that's why theres only 2711 instead of every amiga game there is in tosec.

Blimey, I didn't realise that! Wow... very impressive.

I'm sure it will probably include every game I'm likely to want to play, but on the off-chance that it doesn't, is it possible to add to the GB Amiga database? Or would I have to create a fresh database for any games which you didn't include? (Again, probably a stupid question...)

i think all the game entries have a basic config assigned to them, so you can attach some adfs to a game entry and see if it works.

@antonvaltaz
Once you've installed GB Amiga and click on 'All Games', you'll see that there are already 4954 'slots' for games
