need a .txt file of the latest official games .adf TOSEC .dat

Overdoc · 23 September 2006, 02:37

I have lots of Amiga disk which I plan to be selling together with a few Amiga-500s.

But before I get rid of them I want to check if these are already in TOSEC, so that no possibly rare versions of any software gets lost

But since I haven't dealt with any renaming tools in years and don't have the time to transfer them all, please can someone just email me a .txt file which contains all the latest filenames of .adf games and maybe tools, too ?

Thanks for your help !

Lists from current dats

wouldn't it be easier to just transfer the disk and do a Tosec scan instead of manually compare the names against this huge Tosec list?

Overdoc · 24 September 2006, 19:17

Hi Guys !

Many thanks for the files !!

@Adderly:

I know, transferring would be the better option, but unfortunately I simply don't have the time for this - it would take weeks to transfer hundreds of disks!

@Kodoichi:

I sell some Amiga-500 sets, complete with mouse, joystick and ofcourse disks

But I am not that stupid to sell them as copied games if you think like that

I sell them as empty disks ofcourse, but noone would buy an Amiga-500 set without disk!
Also, most of the disks I have bouhgt myself together with similar A-500 sets, so I don't make any profit selling them again !
Understand ?

IMO you can boot the disk on the Amiga.
If the cracktro matches with the Tosec ADFs another dump
would produce only more [a]´s.Are these [a] ADF´s of
any use?

Adderly · 24 September 2006, 23:45

99.9% are just [a]'s coz of highscores, savegames, virus, hacked "xyz was here" startup-sequences, disk validating and so on.
And then there are the 0.1% rare, unmodified, 100% cracked, bug free versions etc....

Probably not worth the trouble... So YES, they are of use.

Overdoc · 25 September 2006, 22:09

Yes, thats what I normally do, load it up until the cracktro appears and then check with the TOSEC list if this crack is aleady there.

I know there is the possibility like Adderly explains, but I think transferring takes too much time, although I will try with an A-600 via SD card. It could be faster than loading the disks up to the cracktro in some cases !

demoniac · 25 September 2006, 22:22

Yeah, please xfer the Sodan disks sometime.

Sometimes the TOSEC images are corrupt without being labeled as such.

That should be enough to keep & dump them and not to throw away.

Adderly · 26 September 2006, 13:02

Aye! I just uploaded 2000+ adf's for Tosec inclusion. Most of them came from my own collection and a lot of disks will be included without an [a]. These non-Tosec disks would be lost if i had trashed the disks....

NOB · 26 September 2006, 14:10

Excellent

that means a new dat follows (soon) ?

Adderly · 26 September 2006, 18:30

First it means a lot of work for [idoru] to add them to the database.

The Tosec website has just be updated with a "sign of life" and RealLife issues excuses... so probably not too soon.

[idoru] · 26 September 2006, 18:54

There were 1000+ added since the last public version before I start to look at adderly's stuff.

NOB · 26 September 2006, 19:12

There is no need to rush.I still have enough dumps.

"First it means a lot of work for [idoru] to add them to the database."

@[idoru]
Is the update of the Amiga dats/database an one man project?

[idoru] · 26 September 2006, 22:45

Well, the files Adderly has given me are renamed - but do need checking that they follow the TOSEC naming guidelines & correct usage of flags & alt numbers etc. which means every individual file needs checking against what's already renamed if only in terms of filename.

Adderly · 26 September 2006, 22:49

@NOB: I still have your files on my "to do" list for renaming. I'll do them soon as i'm now busy with all the Zone uploads.

andreas · 30 October 2006, 23:00

@NOB: The Demos dat is done by someone else but [idoru], for example.

NOB · 31 October 2006, 17:47
