CAPS (SPS) Plugin...

DamienD · 07 November 2005, 13:42

Hello guys,

Now that CAPS is called SPS, just wondering if the plugin will be renamed at some stage from CAPSImg.dll --> SPSImg.dll?

No big deal though

May or may not happen.
Not exactly a pressing issue...

No, I know. Not very pressing at all.

Just thought I'd mention it

Given that the project name change was intended to reflect a shift from preservation of Amiga software only to preservation of titles for other platforms, the original name for the plug-in still seems appropriate since it would seem to be limited to the support of Amiga software. Of course if and when that changes, a name change would seem to be called for. As you've noted though, that would be a pretty low priority.

Actually... it runs ST software pretty well.

That does sound promising, if that's what that means. I believe at least a few of the dumps I submitted long ago never were released as IPF's due to some ST tracks, so maybe those dumps will soon be useful. I figure it has to happen sometime, assuming the dumps themselves were good.

which games chuckles ? ^^

I'm not sure which ones had ST tracks, but if I remember correctly, Starglider 2 was one of them. It's been a long time, but I probably submitted dumps of something like 75 games over a period of time, and most eventually were released, though some of the dumps were unusable. I did hear that some had ST tracks, but I never heard which ones, so I've just been figuring that one of these days they'd solve the problem and send me links for those I'd submitted when the IPF's were ready.
