Passed on to Demos maintainer - idoru

* Crack Intro Bubba & Stix (19xx)(Paradox)[a]

If you let it run for a while it says "(c) 1993 Orange Juice Productions"

[Kodoichi]

It's definitely a non-working Eurochart 25...- idoru

* Official Eurochart, The - Issue 25 (1994-05)(Static Bytes)(AGA)(Disk 1 of 2)[b]

I downloaded this one from http://www.delamelon.com/home.htm (click "files"), it's called "How 2 scan a kid". I don't think it's supposed to be a disk for the full Eurochart issue.

[BippyM]

I've been working through the games dat and the following are empty disk images or just contain a bootblock and little else!

Here we go.. these need removing from the dats (Check the zipped filesize):

Bard's Tale, The - Tales of the Unknown (1986)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 2 of 2)(Character)
Ambermoon (1994)(Thalion)(Disk 10 of 10)(J)
Ambermoon (1993)(Thalion)(De)(Disk 10 of 10)(J)
Chaos Engine, The (1993)(Renegade)(Disk 2 of 2)
Dragon's Lair - Escape from Singe's Castle (1990)(ReadySoft)(Disk 4 of 5)[cr QTX][h New Order]




The following seem to just contain the cracktro.. so err obviously wont work!

Commando (1989)(Elite)[cr QTX][b]
Champion Driver (1991)(Idea)[cr QTX]


There are literally a tonne of these.. I'm currently busy rebuilding so err... I'll post more when I have more time

bippym, these are just save disks aren't they?

[BippyM]

perhaps.. I didn't check them properly to be honest, I just looked at the image and it was all $000000.. but if they are they need renaming to show this!

[DamienD]

Agreed, it should be renamed

Just checked my .adf files... (Disk 10 of 10)(J) is a save disk.

A while ago I downloaded Ambermoon (1994)(Thalion)(Disk 10 of 10)(J) from BTTR (in the save disk section I think) that had the "Final End Fight" on it.

Actually where's alexh. I'm sure he can confirm

[Adderly]

I can confirm that all Ambermoon (1993)(Thalion)(De)(Disk 10 of 10)(J)
are savedisks, some [a]'s have already the right [a savegame], some not.

For Bard's Tale, The - Tales of the Unknown (1986)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 2 of 2)(Character).adf
it's the same.
And you can add the 9 (!) adf's Bard's Tale II, The - The Destiny Knight (1988)(Electronic Arts)(Disk 2 of 2)(Character Disk).adf
to the list.

For Ambermoon i know that the savedisk can be created by the game, for Bard's Tale I and II i'm not sure but i'll check that out if no one knows that and post here...

[BippyM]

I'm thinking there should maybe be a separate DAT for savedisks or they should be included within the : Commodore Amiga - Games - Unofficial Addons & Patches Dat

[Adderly]

* For both Bard's Tale I and II HOL says:
"Although the game comes with 1 disk, the game instructs you to create a second disk for the characters."
* Ambermoon comes on 9 disks so the #10 is obsolete

--> i vote for a savedisk dat. I can remember BTTR had a lot of savedisks, so i think it's a good idea to have them in a separate Dat. Was anybody wise enough to leech all the savedisks from them???

I agree with a savedisks dat, but only for use with games that make their own when first saved or instruct you to do so in the instructions. Games that came with a savedisk included should keep that savedisk in the Games dat. - idoru

to do: add the right [a]'s to all Campaign after the above renaming...

Please check these after the next dat - I've got a feeling I've messed it up a bit - idoru

So what is $00000015 for? It's a small 886B file that doesn't look compressed. I'm not even sure the file is required to complete the game.
