The batch file --> .EXE is a little dodgy above Win 7; I don't know why, maybe I need a new version of Quick Batch File Compiler but can't be bothered...

See here; all still works; promise.

Might well be, it's not a game I've completed. I will investigate though, cheers for the report

Just checked and I'm using the .IPFs for this game

...didn't realise there was manual protection later in the game; hopefully the manual on HOL is enough otherwise I'll find a good crack.

Also, don't forget to update to WinUAE 3.6.1

...this has a bug fix for the emulated parallel port joystick adapter that allows the Dyna Blaster config to work again; thanks Toni

Attached is an updated registry file.

[/CODE]How do you get this pack; you need to PM or e-mail me.

...but given what happened last time, am going to be cautious of who I give this to [/QUOTE]

Hi DamienD,

I have been making a mess here on my private page so I do not know if you actually got my mail request, sorry in case you have already got it. Yet, I'd be grateful if you let me have your new update pack ...
Thanks
Max

Just as I expected, mailbox is full. That update will be as much popular as the main package

Ok, have replace the .IPFs with the same version as my friend Belgarath uses in Gamebase Amiga

I'll also amend my Update Pack #1 now.

...so this means if you've already downloaded this, PM me and I'll send you the "Uridium 2" replacement files.

I'm sorry I have to say this but; I just want to make this point absolutely clear

I've now given Update Pack #1 to over 50 people so far. There are a few that have zero posts on EAB, but I've placed my trust in you anyway...

Also, been keeping a record of exactly who I've given this to

If I find out that these have been shared in any way or form i.e. the download URL / Torrent'd / information I provided in the PM then that's it...

No more updates for anybody ever again, that's a promise!!!

First of all, that new update looks great!
I have not tested it, because i do not have any access to it (well, no official access), but great work, Damien!! Bravo!!

I just wanted to inform you, though, that someone seems to have uploaded it on various torrent sites again. I will send you the link in a private message as i cannot share it here. Dirty file sharers!! >

Anyhow, don't let them discourage you!! We appreciate your hard work so much and it would be a shame if it all went away!

Much love!

It wasn't me!

This is indeed my first post. I tend to lurk because I generally have nothing to contribute, but in this case, I do.

This work of love is greatly appreciated by me. I used to camp out at my local Apple/Commodore shop way back when. When they finally hired a guy who learned what the Amiga was about and how to sell them, I became their best customer.

I can now get back into the Amiga computer scene and relive some great memories, plus some new ones!

OMG!!! Already??? Absolutely disgusting!!!

That's it, I'm a man of my word, going forward there will be no more updates for anyone except my friends on EAB who I've known for years.

Thanks for letting me know AOxygen, appreciate this.

That's sad and disgusting that someone would stoop so low.

@Damien we appreciate what you are doing

Spent most of last week creating this update pack:
  • Researching the best files to be used.
  • Downloading them.
  • Extracting into the relevant file structure.
  • Creating / tweaking the configuration files.
  • Testing the games.
  • Manually taking the title / screenshots, renaming and then moving into the relevant game directories.
  • Packaging everything up.
  • Uploading to a file hosting site.
  • Writing the update instructions.
  • etc.
...and it was leaked within a day of going live

I have a very good idea who did this from the people I sent the PMs to and will be taking action shortly.
