As promised, here's the list of some MIA games I've been looking for since ever, in the hopes Damien (or someone else) might have some of these:

Not good news I'm afraid brolly

All I have is the following but I image that you already have these:

1) Battlehawks 1942 D1 & Worldwide Hunting preview.zip
2) Match-It & Magic Bag (1997)(ACS Germany).zip [already in TOSEC - compilations]

[brolly]

Yeah I do, but I might have missed Magic Bag so I'll have another look to double check.
Thanks for looking though.

Technology is available on Bandit Mania, but for the life of me I cannot manage to get it to start into that game directly. Most likely there was never a standalone version of the game, but I'd want to at least be able to jump into the game directly without going through the game selection screen.

I might have found Sim Brick in "Amiga Power #13 (1992)(Future Publishing)(GB)(Disk 1 of 2)[May 1992][Sensible Software Disk Special]", can't test right now, but it seems to be it:

Wonder why I never saw it before ^^

I'm definitely no Amiga whizz but can try to make this disk bootable and go straight into the game...

...not tonight though; I'm too "TOSEC'd" out and need to spend time with the girlie now

[brolly]

If you could give it a try I'd appreciate it, I managed to do it for most games, but this one I simply couldn't get it to work.
Don't recall the exact details, just that it was driving me nuts lol

[butfluffy]

i just downloaded amiga power issue 13 from the EAB server but i can't get sim brick to work with winuae.
it loads so far and then i get a black screen with the floppy counter stuck flickering on 01.
maybe it's a config issue?

[Amiganiac73]

Just tried Sim Brick too , Seems like is protected some how
I guess Amiga power issue 13 disk needs to be Redump with different parameters.

[Amiganiac73]

Brolly are you still looking for Magic Bag http://hol.abime.net/4723

If you do... is in the zone

[brolly]

If that's a standalone version then yeah I do, thanks!

I didn't test Sim Brick yet, will give it a try and see what happens. Doesn't sound good though

[DamienD]

RE: Sim Brick; if it's protected and a no-go then all we need to do is ask our talented EAB community to assist

It will be very easy for people like Sir Galahad / StingRay / the Flashtro group (with their amazing coding skills) to fix this situation

...probably take them less than 5 mins to correct.

Put the request out there, be patient; one of the above will read this thread in time and in there own time make this situation good

Heya brolly,

Taken a look the at "Bandit Mania" disks from the EAB File Server. Unfortunately they are NDOS so I don't have the skills to see the files inside etc...

Did some investigation; you probably already know this but I'll mention it anyway...

a) Bandit Mania (1994)(Mental Images)(Disk 1 of 2).adf [CRC 1B4797EB] = is actually Disk 2
b) Bandit Mania (1994)(Mental Images)(Disk 1 of 2)[t +4 GIN].adf [CRC 40CE5586] = Disk 1
c) Bandit Mania (1994)(Mental Images)(Disk 2 of 2).adf [CRC 378FAB6F] = is actually Disk 1

If you boot with a) in DF0: after the "Mental Image Software Design" you get this screen and need to insert either b) or c):



If you boot with b) in DF0: after the "Mental Image Software Design" you get this screen:



If you then insert c) into DF1: you get this screen:



If you then eject DF1: and insert a) you get this screen:



So the set you should use is as follows:
... DF0: = b) or c)
... DF1: = a)


The TOSEC guys have already renamed all of the above correctly in the latest DATs

[brolly]

Ah yes, that was most likely my problem as well, didn't recall all the details seems there's no easy way to do it then. Thanks for checking.

I already had the files renamed on my end, thanks for the heads up.
