How to unpack files in directories

cronos · 16 July 2007, 07:34

I have downloaded a nice collection of mods from Shoonay. The mods are packed with XPK and CrunchMania. Problem is, I want to unpack all the mod files so that I can play them outside WinUAE. It would take me a long time to unpack each directory manually, so is it possible to unpack all files within the directories? I have tried xfddecrunch, but for some reason WinUAE crashes, probably because I did something wrong..

I have also tried XpackIt, which almost works the way I want it to - except it can't unpack crunch-mania-files. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Deliplayer for PC supports xpk crunched files. Might be quickest solution.

Yeah, Windows Deliplayer also support XPK packed files. But, not Crunch-Mania. I figure that if I can unpack all the files, then I wouldn't have issues with non-Amiga players..

I also have used a tool called "xpk knight" years ago, I seem to remember that it supported recursive directory (de)crunching. It should be available on Aminet (I think), if you can't find it, let me know, I should still have it on one of my Amiga HD's.

Edit: you can download xpk knight here: http://aminet.net/util/pack/xpk-Knight_105.lha

Hope it helps.

I was able to decrunch the files without any problems with AmiKit using XFDDecrunch... So it seems that I have a problem with either Workbench or a WinUAE setting..

What happens if you try it using your normal (i.e. w/o AmiKit ect.) WinUAE config?

My normal configuration worked fine. But, since the problems with decrunching, I have cleaned up and updated a lot of files. Now I am able to decrunch files without crashing..

Overall, I think the main problem was related to the xfdmaster.library, because I was using a slightly older version than what is found on AmiKit.
