According to disk-analyse track 0.1 in the ipf is damaged.
I used disk-analyse to create a new ipf from the stream, that one is working (incl WHD install).
Have a look in the zone.

Let me have a look again then.

EDIT : my fault, track 0.1 got encoded wrongly as protec 924a. Change that to Elite system $18a8.

New archive uploaded in the flux incoming folder. my bad ahaha XD with a working IPF lol

      This game needs 1 megabyte

      The 2 last levels in this great game are fucked up. 
      This is NOT our fault because we tryed 2 different 
      originals from the same store and both of them had
      the same error in track 50 & 51. 
      If we get our hands on a working original we will
      release a fix for the last 2 levels.

                                              Paradox 1990

                            READ THIS !!!!
                        
     THIS GAME NEEDS 1 MEGABYTE !

     IT WILL NOT WORK ON AMIGA'S WITH SUPER AGNUS. (NOT OUR FAULT!)

     WE NOW GOT A THIRD ORIGINAL DIRECTLY FROM ELITE AND IT HAD THE
     SAME PROBLEM WITH THE LAST 2 STAGES AS THE 2 OTHERS WE TRIED. 
     TOO BAD THAT ELITE CANT GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER !!!.
     
     WE THEN GOT THIS GREAT IDEA, TO TAKE THE LAST 2 LEVELS FROM THE 
     PREVIEW VERSION, BUT THE PREVIEW HAD A BUG IN THE LAST LEVEL, BUT
     STAGE 5 IS NOW OKAY AND THERE'S ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF GRAPHICS 
     ERROR IN STAGE 6. THIS VERSION IS ALSO TRAINED AND YES WE KNOW
     THAT THE TRAINER MENU IS LAME BUT WE HAVEN'T A DESCENT ONE READY YET.
     WE HAVE ALSO REMOVED THE BORING MESSAGE FROM F.A.S.T.

                                   Midnight Maniac & Mayday / Paradox

Care must be taken when interpreting the message. You understand "THIRD ORIGINAL" to mean 3rd version of the game (V3). For me, it means 3rd copy of V2.
In any case, I remain suspicious of swapper messages (Midnight Maniac & Mayday)

Which version is PREVIEW version of Ghosts'n'Goblins?

[dlfrsilver]

Don, it doesn't matter about the preview version. The level tiles they used are the same in the final sales release.

For me if exist preview version, then must exist 4 versions of this game, not only 3 mentioned versions. Differences can exist or not. Something like differences between final version of Toki and preview/beta version of Toki. Differences are small but exists.

I agree. If preview exist could be nice to find it

Thanks for having fixed the game!
I've downloaded the file Ghosts 'N Goblins (1990)(Elite)[cr PDX][0.5Mb Slow].zip but there are to adf files on it, which one is the fixed version to use?

[Crashdisk]

Hi Jurassicman,
these files are named from the TNC (TOSEC Naming Convention)


Ghosts 'N Goblins (1990)(Elite)[cr PDX][b release][0.5Mb Slow]
[b release] > bad release
It's a initial release by PDX with corrupted levels due to a faulty V2 Elite disk.


Ghosts 'N Goblins (1990)(Elite)[cr PDX][f levels][0.5Mb Slow]
[f levels] > fixed levels


This version requires 1Mb of memory (0.5Mb chip and 0.5Mb slow) unlike V3 mentioned in this thread

[jurassicman]

@crashdisk
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know the tosec naming convention.

So this fixed version won't work on an A500+ with 1MB of chip RAM, right?
Will the v3 work on both A500 with 0.5 MB of Chip + 0.5 MB of slow and A500+?

[Retro1234]

Most of the old cracks are some kind of beta.

This is not the case here: this is the 2nd of 3 commercial editions known to date.
Nowadays, all the games we buy are real betas...

[jurassicman]

thanks crashdisk, I'll wait for the v3 adf to write it on a floppy disk as soon as it is ready.

[jurassicman]

Hi guys, I see that the v3 IPF file has already been available for several days, is the v3 ADF file still in the works?

[AmigaFan67]

Great work!

[jurassicman]
