Look here... It would be better to know what CAPS is before leeching the releases...

RetroMan: thanks!

plasmatron: To answer your question CAPS is just a project to preserve all *original* Amiga games that ever existed in including scans of all box/manul/disks etc.

A good introduction is here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10056 (the birth of caps...)

Yeah thanxx for all your help folkz.
Sounds interesting.
I thout that CAPS is only a fixing group.

No, the actual originals can now be dumped.

Fixing - what's the point when you can play the original?

(unless hdd usage, for that you have whdload a real "fixing" project)
We have been dumping original games without any changes since the fall of 2001.
Original disk images are available since last December.
