I know So it isn't terribly important, but users could get hold of the .lzx file and not understand why it isn't recognized, which is why I wondered if .zip would do the job here. But again, not really that important.

Definitely best to stick with .LHA and .LZX files for the sake of "real" and "emulation" Amiga users Quote:
.LZX files can be mounted in WinUAE without issue so... Unless I'm missing something obvious here? Last edited by DamienD; 04 March 2020 at 22:46. |

There's also the issue that zip isn't 100% safe to use for Amiga files.
For instance, Fightin' Spirit, if zipped goes "bad", not that compressing/decompressing throws any errors but game will crash later on. http://mantis.whdload.de/view.php?id=2276 I wonder how many "bugs" were reported because of issues like this, quite a lot I'd imagine. |

Alright, I don't want to suggest to make things harder for Amiga hardware owners But please continue to prefer .lha over .lzx when possible!
@DamienD Yep, but this is handled in by the Launcher/Arcade which is written in Python, so while not impossible, any .lzx support in those clients will require quite a bit of work to get working. |

Well unfortunately you'll need to do that extra bit of work in order to support those very rare WHDLoad .LZX archives, which are necessary, in your FS-UAE Launcher / Arcade. ...otherwise just leave these WHDLoad .LZX archives out of the database completely I guess. Of course all of this is totally your own choice; and no one should disagree with your decision (unless they have the skills and are prepared to do better themselves) |

I created updated variants yesterday (Saturday) based on Retroplays latest set as of then (from the EAB FTP).
About The Temple of the Enlightened Souls, that game did not exist in the database. I've created an entry now and attached the WHDLoad variant: https://openretro.org/amiga/the-temp...ned-souls/edit |
