Is there anything there that's missing from "Commodore Amiga - Games - SPS (TOSEC-v2018-03-05)"?

See this thread: Locating / sorting / uploading .IPFs...

If not, then you wasted your time...

BarryB · 01 July 2018, 14:56

Does this also mean links to websites hosting IPF's are now allowed?

DamienD · 01 July 2018, 15:25

Yes

BarryB · 01 July 2018, 15:33

DamienD · 01 July 2018, 17:43

Guess I should start this off:

... Edge Emulation
... GameTronik
... EmuParadise
... eLowar's site

Mind you, we probably have everything from the above and more on the EAB File Server under:

/Commodore_Amiga/TOSEC [2016-01-03]
... Commodore Amiga - Coverdisks - SPS (TOSEC-v2015-06-27_CM)
... Commodore Amiga - Educational - SPS (TOSEC-v2015-04-23_CM)
... Commodore Amiga - Games - SPS (TOSEC-v2015-06-27_CM)

/Commodore_Amiga/TOSEC Updates/TOSEC Release (v2018-04-01) updates
... Commodore Amiga - Games - SPS (TOSEC-v2018-03-05)

BarryB · 01 July 2018, 19:03

Think I have all of them

There's also Spectrum +3 IPFs from here:

... TZX Vault

What from the sites listed, the EAB File Server or both?

...was kind of hoping you'd have some .IPFs to share that aren't in any of the above

Have those off the ftp, plus the Gamebase 1.6 SPS and that's it

Avanze · 01 July 2018, 21:29

Anyone every find the elusive C64 or Amstrad ipfs?

...after everything you've submitted to the SPS team???

Very sad indeed and seems that you totally wasted your time / money; I feel for you man

BarryB · 01 July 2018, 23:18

The ones I've got back, Menace, Shockwave and Unreal are already available. Denis did send me Gazza II, not sure if that's in the wild though, but sharing it might upset Denis unless he's OK for it to be shared?

Denis will be able to confirm if Amstrad/C64 IPF's exist, but seeing how some Spectrum +3 IPF's exist I'd guess Amstrad IPF's exist too, don't think C64 IPF's exist yet although G64 images are available from EmuParadise that loosely represent what an IPF would regards data and copy protections!

Ok so Denis sent you Gazza II... the question is; do you have this original in your collection hence why you received the file?

If so, and now have the .IPF, then you can do what you want with it. Well, that's my understanding of SPS team rules anyway

...but totally up to you / Denis at the end of the day. No one is being forced to share anything; it's a personal decision.

Yes, probably not ipf but g64 one whould think, but anyway, not shared as yet.

DamienD · 02 July 2018, 01:22

From a quick look, there are these (and probably more in "update" directories) on the EAB File Server under:

/Commodore_C64/TOSEC/2016-11-11/Games/[G64]

Retroplay · 02 July 2018, 01:53

More G64's here:
~Uploads/Retroplay/UnRenamed Files/Commodore (v2018-05-26)/UnRenamed Files - Commodore 8Bits/Commodore C64 files [G64] parts 1 to 6
~Uploads/Retroplay/UnRenamed Files/Commodore (v2018-05-26)/UnRenamed Files - Commodore 8Bits/Commodore C128 files [G64]
~Uploads/Retroplay/UnRenamed Files/Commodore (v2018-05-26)/UnRenamed Files - Commodore 8Bits/Commodore C16 files [G64]
~Uploads/Retroplay/UnRenamed Files/Commodore (v2018-05-26)/UnRenamed Files - Commodore 8Bits/Commodore PET files [G64]
~Uploads/Retroplay/UnRenamed Files/Commodore (v2018-05-26)/UnRenamed Files - Commodore 8Bits/Commodore VIC20 files [G64]

Since CRC is unknown for SPS C64 G64 images, there's no way to tell if any if these match official SPS releases, I doubt they do though.

Retroplay, I have a question, how come Times of Lore has never been dumped as a TAP file? No one has it, or it has a weird protection?

Retroplay · 02 July 2018, 08:14

My best guess is nobody has a working original tape to dump.
I've never heard of any C64/128 tapes not being able to be properly dumped.
All the tapes I've dumped (and submitted to TOSEC) with my Ultimate-II all worked perfectly fine.
You might want to keep an eye out at the tape thread at Lemon64:
http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67726
Who knows, it might turn up sooner or later.

[edit]
Actually, it's already uploaded there in "Lemon64 .TAP Uploads" folder:
TIMESOLC.TAP (Character/Intro)
TIMESOLG.TAP (Game)
