October 18 pack is on the first post! Latest update includes "Sport Multi Eventers" (EPYX games). More traditional sports titles will come in a future update.

Nice update! Some of those games were a pain to try and get working as i’m sure you know! I did have a couple of old wip discs (summer and winter games) that never made it out from a couple of years back for various issues, so good job on getting on those working!

Heh.. they are a little bit fiddly, loading on some of them is horrendous and "The Games: Winter Edition" seems to go way too fast. Hopefully they all load OK on real CD32, but they at least seem to run under emulation.

‘Nocache’ or degrade not help to slow it down?

earok · 10 October 2018, 09:50

I could take another look at it maybe when it comes time for the next update, but it seems to run massively too fast - not just a little too fast.

Its an updated release, each new release adds to the disc, no need to get the old versions.

celco · 11 October 2018, 19:19

Ah. OK. Thanks for the info Amigajay!!!!

The November 2018 edition is out. A few notes:

* The theme for the latest pack of 25 is "Beat Em Ups". Tournament style fighting games (such as IK+, Street Fighter etc) have been excluded as they'll be included in their own pack at a later date.
* One game (the arcadia version of Aaargh!) requires FastRAM.
* Parasol Stars has had the trainer added (keyboard required).
* Carcharodon has been updated to the latest slave (including trainer).
* Blood Money has been updated to an (unreleased) slave that includes the ability to launch the two player game without a keyboard.
* Several of the slaves in the pack may be updated next month, as I've requested further changes similar to the update to Blood Money.
* Yo! Joe! and Second Samurai have been moved into this pack from platformers. In their place, Dalek Attack and Sooty & Sweep have been added.

I wasn't overly happy with the game selection for this update. While it includes several classics, there's also some utter trash in there - there's only just enough games in the genre to fill out a pack of 25.

Regardless - I figured I may as well just get it out there, I can always review the makeup of included games in following months.

Fantastic project. Keep it up!

spudje · 06 November 2018, 21:50

Awesome!!

Works fine in X5000 under RuninUAE.
Fantastic.

Thanks guys!

I'm going to be late this month, in fact the next update may not come out until next year. If someone wanted to take over and do one of the remaining packs I'd be cool with that

and can help Shepard someone through the process. There's no hard set list of games but the final updates are intended to be:

- Tournament fighters (both of the Street Fighter variety as well as Kick/Boxing games)
- Sports (Excluding multi-eventers, those are already done)
- Soldier (Gloom, Chaos Engine, Alien Breeds)
- Puzzle/War (North and South, Worms, Dynablaster, any good commercial Tetris clones etc)
- Indies (Tanks Furry, Parachute Joust etc)

It's well overdue, but the December release is out - including 25 sports titles, now up to 150 games in total. Details on the OP.

Edit: Forgot to mention, some earlier titles have had some tidy ups. In particular, SWIV is joypad for both vehicles by default rather than Jeep on Keyboard by default.

spudje · 12 January 2019, 12:48

Nice! Thanks a lot. I'm really wondering whether all the planned updates will actually fit one CDROM

Honestly, I hope so too - but I think I'm on track to be able to fit everything on. For the 100 games left, I can spare about 3-4MB each on average, some will be larger but most should be way smaller.

earok · 23 January 2019, 11:53

January '19 update has been posted - the tactics pack, with a blend of multiplayer Puzzle, Strategy, Board and RPG titles.

wairnair · 10 February 2019, 11:23

Great. how many releases do you plan until complete?
Would it be possible to run this off hdd or is it absolutely tied to cd0:?
Thanks for the great effort

earok · 10 February 2019, 11:37

Thanks mate.

8th version will be out in a few days. 10th will be final sometime in April.

An HDD version might follow. The current one isn't particularly HDD friendly - some games may work but a lot of them are either CD32 native versions or use CD32load for cd32 pad support and faster disc loading.
