Unzipping

Wasagi · 15 June 2010, 21:00

Do I need to unzip each game individually to use with whdload?

If so is there a quick way of doing this, I have downloaded all packs!

Hi Wasagi,

They need to be unzipped, best way is in WinUAE under emaulation to keep the correct file structures.

Have you setup a 'Classic Workbench' in a WinUAE enviroment?

If so its simple, just run DOpus and select the zip files (all) in the left view and then in the right view where you want them extracted to, hit 'Arc Extract' stick WinUAE in Turbo Mode (End + Pause/Break) and sit back

Steve.

Thanks Steve. I got the classicWB set up in UAE, even got as far as DOPUS and selecting all the files, I just didn't get the ARC extract bit... I kept clicking zip. And when I did try arc extract it brought up a cli window that confused me. Thanks for the info.

Do you know if I could extract them on my Mac? Or would the mac affect the file structures too?

Just drag and drop the zipped file on WinUAE WB desktop and copy the data using some file manager or cli commands
