about filenames

what does "WHD#" mean in filename? is it better to use the version that has only "WHD" or JST or ?

Huh? What do you mean with 'in filename'?

orange · 22 March 2010, 11:24

jeez.. filename of a whdload game contains letters: [WHD#]
but there is almost identical game with filename that has only: [WHD]

killergorilla · 22 March 2010, 11:26

What filenames?

Where are you getting the files from?

Jeez.

TCD · 22 March 2010, 11:27

Sorry, still have no idea what you're talking about.

Tosec sets have it in the filename iirc.

EDIT: Or gamebase etc

killergorilla · 22 March 2010, 12:01

Ah TOSEC..

Don't care then

WHD is WHDLoad, JST is JST

No TOSEC dat for WHDLoad, GB Amiga doesn't use those either. KG found an ancient 'WARP' set that uses the names. Maybe bippy can tell what those tags mean

I can't remember exactly where I've seen them but I definitely have.

helpful information

More helpful information.

Ask Methanoid what it means then. Since KG doesn't have a clue, it's your best bet to get some info.

Edit : I just downloaded one file and still don't see what you're talking about orange. They don't have the [WHD] tags.

@Methanoid
Double zipping stuff is a big no-no

it seems the difference is in .info file, the one with [WHD] in filename has larger filesize. also it lacks cheat.txt
