HD-installers from the Best Of Airsoft Softwair CD

MethodGit · 30 May 2009, 20:13

Okay, anyone have a copy of this CD at all? I just want a few small things off it really.

Airsoft's website used to host these installers for download many years back, but around the time of the makeover they ceased to host them any longer all of a sudden. Archive.org can show the page which mentioned these things but not retrieve the archives themselves. =[

I had toyed with the idea of buying the CD myself but find the roughly-£10 asking price from APC&TCP to be rather steep when all I really want are a handful of tiny archives from the thing.

In case you're preparing the inevitable "whhyyy bother with random naff installers when we've got WHDLoad, baby?!" responses, I like to collect all kinds of obscure installers and pre-installed titles (particularly if they're built differently from JST and WHD versions). My recent trawl through the BBS archives on the EAB server - not to mention the sets available here - uncovered a lot of interesting stuff!

Your link doesnt work - can you post again
I might have these installs - I allso collect obscure installs - got anything particuly intresting?

The AirSoft CD is 20 Euro -isnt it? what a joke I cant belive someone who makes the respected hollywood software also sells this crap.

Which link doesn't work? The archive one? I just tried it again and it works fine for me.

Retro1234 · 30 May 2009, 20:55

Ok it doesnt seem to work for me.
Check the Zone these are only the free installs that were downloadable.
Did you ever get all of Stein`s installs?

Disable Javascript for the webarchive link and it works. Use mouse rightclick to download the archives.

I have JavaScript enabled in Firefox here and I can still view the page. How strange. :-\

Also right-click-saving the archives still doesn't make them useable due to the fact Archive didn't, well, archive them.

@Boo Boo: Thank you so much for the installers! I assume you have the CD then?

Retro-Nerd · 31 May 2009, 05:19

True, the downloaded lha archives aren't complete. But the downloads on the Airsoft site works fine here:

That's true, but like I said they ditched the HD-installers some years back, hence why I was asking for them on here.

What other HD-installed Apidyas are there? I only know of the WHD version and the 1-filed Pyrodex version.

I don't believe I have anything still archived from when the site was originally up eight years ago unfortunately.

A good deal of them are available over at amigapower.tk though.

Yep just the Pyrodex 1-file install - and all the differnet WHDload versions 1.04-2.04 the strange thing is that they all have a problem at the same point for me

I just wondered if there was a JST or other version out there..................

Hi MethodGit,

In case you haven't seen it, I have uploaded to the Zone the Best Of Airsoft Softwair CD-ROM Demo.

It is a larger archive than the Best of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM Demo available from the Airsoft site on the page linked to by Retro-Nerd above.

It was originally downloaded from http://www.apc-tcp.de/support/ (no longer available).

I dont think the best of AirSoft demo has the installers it just lists all the crap software from Airsoft

The CD32 install kit will run Some game that look for the CD.device but the demo of install2001 will do fine or other free avalible tools like the CD32 dev kit.

Hi Boo Boo,

Is it because he used some JST/WHD installers in his CD32 Install Kit without asking and charged a registration fee?!

I thought he was a lamer back then too!
