Searching for Sherlock Holmes - Consulting Detective CDTV - Page 11

thor · 30 May 2007, 17:19

Yes, musashi and Toni did a great job

Thanks for the offer, tteich. I will probably dump some images myself first and code some software that does some analysing and where I can manually compare the track data of different dumps. I'll probably try to get a ParNet cable and use that instead of the serial connection. How fast will the transfer speed be over that? Since musashi is releasing what he has and interested people can try out the image, I plan to take my time to do it as good as I can, so progress will be rather slow.

Slightly OT: Are there any IDE or Ethernet adapters for the clockport? It would speed up and simplify things if I could use the A500/A1000 clockport adapter from Individual Computers in the CDTV and connect a IDE/Ethernet adapter there if one exists.

Ladies and Gentleman...

The first BETA release of Sherlock Holmes is now ready for download

This archive contains all the necessary stuff required to play the game in WinUAE and also includes all the sourcecode and EXEs that were used during the dumping process.

You can find it here: http://www.guildserver.co.uk/Musashi5150/SherlockB1.rar

There are still some errors in the video playback, but hopefully these will be fixed in time.

Thanks must go to:

thor for donating the original game and for all the scanning
Zetr0 for providing the webspace
Toni Wilen for his assistance and beta versions of WinUAE
All you guys for moral support - yes, that includes YOU viddi

hehe

Enjoy this first release!

Oh dear! Twas not a dream, but a terrible nightmare then laddie!!

All right, I need help... I downloaded the image, followed the instructions and I have serious problems:

1. DaemonTools does not accept bootdisk.cue because (allegedly) track1 does not start at 00:00:00, so....
2. I go ahead and mount track1.bin because that is practically all I can do, but when I boot CDTV configuration my game does not start. If I boot CD32, it starts but has no videos (obviously, because I mounted track1.bin) and the graphics are garbled.

Any help?

musashi5150 · 18 September 2007, 16:58

I never tried it in anything except Alcohol120%. Just edit the .cue in Notepad to 00:00:00 and see if DaemonTools likes it better.

nikvest · 19 September 2007, 00:35

No, the problem remains...

thor · 19 September 2007, 02:22

Change all indexes in the cue sheet to 00:00:00

nikvest · 19 September 2007, 04:24

Yep, yep, works like a charm now... thanks for the help guys

Any plans for a WHDLoad slave or similar for us lowly Amiga users?

musashi5150 · 26 September 2007, 14:48

I guess in theory there is no reason why the CD accesses couldn't be hooked and spool the video from the dump files on a regular Amiga.

Don't think that a WHDLoad install is easy due to the large video files and the problems with OS-swapping while streaming. There was a similar thread discussing Microcosm a few weeks ago.
