Correct way to use Killergorillas packs?

sittingduck · 30 January 2006, 22:50

I actually asked this question in somebody elses thread as it was related but now I'm thinking nobody will notice it at the bottom of another thread so here goes again. Sorry for double posting.

I'd like to get started using the game packs from amiga.magix and Killergorilla's site and I just had my first try with Moonstone. I got it to work but I'm not quite sure how to organize the games.

When I extract Moonstone I get a Moonstone dir containing lots of files and I get a small Moonstone info-file - this is not placed in the Moonstone dir. Do I just copy the dir and the file to the wanted directory in my Workbench installation or is there another correct way to do it?

Oh, and by the way - how can I tell if the Moonstone pack I downloaded is made using ipfs or a cracked game?

the small .info file is actually the icon of the folder plus its properties (if someone can explain it better go ahead...

) and it goes automatically on the amiga where the dir is...
also all whdload installs are made from originals afaik... there is really no point in knowing this, they work fine

on the latest packs there is actually the ipf serial No. on the directory name...

So this screen shot looks right to you? Just some funny icons, I think.

The icons are not shown correctly because they are no standard icons. Probably the are glow or new icons with maximal 256 colours. You can find the install package for new icons here:

Thanks. Actually, I dont care that much about how the icons look. To be honest I'm just using Workbench for playing WHDload games

Just wanted to be sure that I was setting things up the right way and it seems I am (besides the icons that aren't a big deal to me). By the way, is there any way to have a game start automatically from a UAE config file or is it always necessary to start WB?
