Thanks for all the help guys, im not too sure how to use the .lha file and im guessing i need something to unpack it with?

Im only using a real amiga 1200, PC and Mac and ive not used winuae in a long time

and that was only to run a couple of games, so im not all clued up with its latest functions etc....
I will have to install it as i cant transfer the .lha file to my Amiga from my PC or Mac!!!

(and also dont know how? maybe a network card and cable??)

I will try and figure this out, thanks for all your help

Can it open lxz files? Still looking for a nice way to do that

PowerPie5000 · 21 February 2009, 17:46

I never thought of using winrar for .lha files, thanks for the new info

Well im not going to be playing shadow fighter till i fix my A1200... dodgy floppy drive but ive created another thread about that

and it only happened about 20 mins ago!!!

In zone you can download a Excel Sheet with the codes in a table, an you can print in only a sheet of paper

PowerPie5000 · 21 February 2009, 20:19

Thanks for all your help, i used winrar and extracted the files...... It all went over my head when i first looked at the txt files

but I think i can make sense of it all now, only one of the txt files was needed, not sure what the other files were for?

Anyway I also managed to get my A1200 sorted thanks to DDNI suggesting that i go to maplins and get a disk drive cleaner!
I would never usually bother getting a cleaner but the floppy disk ones actually work unlike those rip-off CD/DVD ones

(I was prepared to dismantle my drive....for no reason!!).

Im gonna try these codes in a bit, thanks again for your help people

Sure it can. Just like ADF, DMS, HDF, ISO etc.

TheCyberDruid, download Total Commander Ultima Prime 4.6 from http://tcup.pl/index.php?l=en

Here's some info:

Total Commander Ultima Prime is a collection of the software and customized settings sets gathered in one installation package for enhancing Total Commander (file manager) possibilities. Our project differs from official distribution provided by Christian Ghisler on www.totalcmd.com site. If you’d like to see and try our solution, you can download it from our servers and discuss about it on our forum’s board. We provide our customization work as freeware in the form as it is but please remember, that Total Commander itself is distributed as shareware. Please keep in mind, that other contained applications licenses might differ and not be proper for commercial purposes too. Detailed descriptions of the software can be found on the forum board.

I have registrated mine version and i can't be without it now.

Thanks a bunch ma693541

Looks really like a good 'all in one' package

Now back to codewheel action

earok · 03 March 2019, 10:11

Forgive my ignorance - is the codewheel ONLY for the OCS edition?

I assume that at no point the codes are asked for on AGA, even when it's installed to hard drive?

jotd · 03 March 2019, 10:13

does anyone enjoy entering codes with a codewheel instead of using whdload / a cracked version?

ptyerman · 03 March 2019, 10:24

Nostalgia is such a attraction WHDload probably didn't even enter the mind!

earok · 03 March 2019, 10:27

Haha. I wasn't asking because I wanted to try it! Just wanted to make sure that version didn't need to be cracked

ptyerman · 03 March 2019, 10:38

No idea mate, it's a game I've never owned physically.
I do know several games used the same codes for all versions, OCS, ECS, AGA, also including DOS, Windows and presumably other formats too. Megafortress is one such title, it uses the same codes for the Amiga and PC versions.
Wouldn't surprise me if this one did too.

earok · 03 March 2019, 12:00

Eeep - it does seem that the AGA version (uncracked and HDD installed) requires the codewheel.

Not sure if it's possible to simply swap out the "SHADOW_run" file or the "dsk0" file with a cracked copy to run it from HDD? It doesn't seem like any of the TOSEC cracks are advertising that they're HD installable.

Edit:

Notably, the "dsk" files seem to be byte-for-byte identical between the CD32 and AGA HDD installable editions. Which suggests the code wheel is indeed in the SHADOW_run file
