Killergorilla would be proud. If he would visit EAB more often (lazy little sucker).

Well indeed I do, perhaps it's different versions which could explain why killergorilla added them in the first place.
If somebody could give them a spin and see if they're unneeded I'd appreciate it.

I have no time for testing right now as I have letter G lined up for work.

Retro-Nerd · 22 February 2017, 18:53

Iirc for some games there weren't original images available. I wouldn't delete all of them without checking.

Retroplay · 22 February 2017, 20:45

Right, G is done.
Magic Lines & RoadBlasters is installed and tested using original SPS images so they will be added and cracked removed.

Time for a break.

[edit]
All _Cracked removed, compatible originals is available for all of them.

Great Retroplay and don`t start collection zips.

Perfectionism, I know this urge sometimes.

Methanoid · 23 February 2017, 12:48

Just popping in to say THANK YOU to Retroplay for all the work

Retroplay · 23 February 2017, 15:54

Thank you kindly.

H, I & J is up, grab 'em while they're hot.

liveevil · 23 February 2017, 18:13

Thanks, you're speeding through these ! Are you missing the game 'The Brain Blasters' ? I see you have the French version 'The Teller'. Also, what are your thoughts on the datfile ? Will it just be name and filesize based, because you couldn't really check the contents because of illegal characters and empty folders etc.

Retroplay · 23 February 2017, 18:32

Yes I do have it, SPS 2643.

[edit]
Nevermind, figured it out.

The dat will be based on .lha size and checksums, files inside will be ignored and left completely out of Windows thus rebuilding using older archives will not be possible.

[edit]
BrainBlasters added to B.

StarQuake · 25 February 2017, 10:33

Thanks! This is amazing!

TuKo · 25 February 2017, 12:40

Hi ! Many thanks for all those nice prepackaged installers

Is your Cloud drive always the "up to date" source ?

Retroplay · 25 February 2017, 13:28

Yes it is.

Everything up to Games Q is done now.

Retroplay · 26 February 2017, 23:33

All games fixed and repacked to lha.

Demos & Magazines will soon follow and then I'll see to making those long awaited dats.

[edit]
Test dats for Games attached in OP.
Backup your files before usage.

Retroplay · 27 February 2017, 23:42

It's done, check OP for all dats.

fgh · 28 February 2017, 13:16

Awesome job Retroplay. You're now officially an amiga legend.

Retroplay · 28 February 2017, 15:00

Haha that's a bit of a stretch I'd say.

I've moved the dats to my FTP folder, it's easier to maintain and I don't have to edit OP almost daily.

rare_j · 01 March 2017, 02:14

This is really impressive, thanks for sorting out dats as well.
How did you get through them all so quickly? Do you have a checklist or spreadsheet or something so that everything (tooltypes, icons, etc.) is up to standard?

Retroplay · 01 March 2017, 12:53

No, everything was checked manually, that and a lot of free time lately.

There wasn't much to do, it was just some of the early 2008-09 zip archives I made I found a few boo-boos in.

Also due to a strange bug in lha, Zine #11 is compressed as an lzx archive.
The file "data" in data dir is one of a kind apparently, lha can compress it but can't extract it.
I have checked every single archive and they all extract fine... and for the demos, no more directory name clashes.

Emerald Mines CD is available as lha & Lzx, this is just a precaution.
Lha 2.12 & 2.15 can't compress the archive but 2.11 can, all lha versions can extract it though.
But to be on the safe side an lzx is available too just in case.
