Perfect I'll see when I find the time to create the Englisch II entry.

[uicr0Bee]

For Englisch II I also have:
1. scanned German manual, both in raw 600-dpi .tif files + OCR-ed and exported to .pdf
2. kryoflux .raw + .adf disk image files.
Should I upload them to the same ftp?

Yes for the manual. You can upload the disk images to the file server: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633

[uicr0Bee]

I wasn't sure if you prefer .pdf or .tif files so I uploaded both. Use/process whichever suits you best. Hope you'll find them useful.
Thanks for guiding me to the file server regarding disk dumps.

Again perfect Thank you very much for the contributions

Hi again.
I've uploaded some boeder (Bitstar) and IPS disks scans. No new entries to the database, just disks for existing entries, but from different publishers.

[TCD]

Thank you very much I won't get to create the Englisch II entry before Wednesday or Thursday, but I'll try to add the scans to the existing entries.

Here's the new Englisch II entry: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/englisch-ii (manual will follow in a bit)

[uicr0Bee]

Nice!
Meanwhile I've uploaded scans of Gunship 2000 disks published by IPS. I know only one disk is needed if the labels differ only in disk numbers, but I usually scan all disks anyway, so all are uploaded too, for you to choose which one(s) to publish. Hope that's OK.

[TCD]

That's perfect If the first disk is damaged for example it is always good to have the other disks to select the best looking one. I've added the scan to the HOL entry. Thank you

Hey @TCD - in

boeder-bitstar-games-[media][uBee].zip

, the disk scan file

Basketball-(boeder-Bitstar)-1291-#20121243.tif

is actually "GBA Championship Basketball: Two On Two" game. I also made an .adf disk image of it. Unfortunately I didn't dumped it to .raw at that time, and I don't have the disk anymore, but the .adf image boots in an emulator.

[TCD]

Ah, thank you I forgot to ask which game it is for. I've added the scan to the HOL entry.

[uicr0Bee]

Scan of "Skarabeusz (Twin Spark Soft)" disk uploaded to my folder on ftp.
Cheers.

[uicr0Bee]

Two more scans of disks from Twin Spark Soft uploaded to my directory on ftp:
1. Ko?ci Zosta?y Rzucone (Kosci Zostaly Rucone)
2. Masa Krytyczna

P.S. Would it be possible to reconfigure the site to display Polish characters (international in general) correctly?

[TCD]

Thank you for the contributions

I'll forward the problem to RCK. It seems to work with certain international characters, but not with others.

[uicr0Bee]

Hi again.
I've just uploaded to my directory on HOL ftp:
1. Polish official manual for Skarabeusz, Ko?ci Zosta?y Rzucone (Kosci Zostaly Rzucone) and Masa Krytyczna.
2. Scans of disks for AmiS?ownik v3.1 (AmiSlownik). This is a Polish-English, Polish-German and German-Polish dictionary. I believe this would be a new entry to utilities database?
3. Polish official manual for AmiS?ownik (AmiSlownik)

Thank you As this is one manual was that a compilation of the three games?

HOL has a 'utilities' category for programs related to games (level editors for example), but a dictionary doesn't have any 'game' aspect to it so it doesn't fit in HOL. I'll move the scans over to the file server.

I found (here: https://www.retrolorian.com/pl/skara...dir_articulo=1) that 'Kosci Zostaly Rzucone' and 'Masa Krytyczna' games were free bonus disks to boxed 'Skarabeusz' game (PL: "Jako darmowy bonus do pudelka dodawana jest Masa Krytyczna i Kosci zostaly rzucone."). Each was on a separate disks - see my previously contributed scans.

That is interesting. I'll add a note to the Skarabeusz entry. I'll add the manual once I finished the one I am working right now (most likely start of next week).

Just wanted to let you know why they didn't get added to HOL. They are still worth preserving and it is great that you scanned them

[uicr0Bee]

Grand Overt v.4.0 (Amiga Special) - disk scan uploaded to my directory on hol ftp.
raw+adf disk dumps uploaded to ftp2.grandis.nu (/~Uploads/uicr0Bee)

Is that OK? I'm still learning the rules here, so please be patient with me
