Cover Girl Poker CDTV

fisken uno · 09 April 2007, 20:04

Ok, I'm sure this topic will be an interesting one

I have been looking for the CDTV version of Cover Girl Strip Poker for a long time, and found it on TheBoss' ftp - except that the audio tracks appear to be corrupt (white noise). Unless the CDTV supports DTS encoded tracks (which sound like white noise when listened to without the proper decoder) or other encodings, these audio tracks are useless. Since they're in mp3 format it would probably not matter IF they were encoded tracks because the encoded data would probably get lost with the mp3 compression. I know for sure that DTS encoded data survive flac compression for example.

Now... I wonder if anyone in here can arse themselves to ADMIT that they own this version of the game? It bummed me out that the audio tracks did appear corrupt because what I mainly liked about the old floppy version of this game was NOT (!) the poker or stripping parts

but actually the nice chillout music. Therefor I'd really really like to see a proper rip of this title...

Anyone?

Is that the Daily Sport one? I did spot a copy amongst the pile of CD-TV titles that I've been auctioning, but upon closer inspection, it was just the empty case ...

So whilst there's a slight chance the loose disc might turn up, I very much doubt it!

Yes, I think so.

It would be great if you'd find the loose disc! You're really a CDTV goldmine, aren't you?

LOL, you're right. But i guess the bad digitalized pics can imply that.

But i like Trine, the fried chicken.

Well you'll never believe what turned up today!

Trouble is, now I can't remember what I did with the frigging inlay!!

Anyway, the CD seems to contain just the one [60 minute] data track, so if you try to play it through Winamp you do indeed get White Noise.

However, I can run the game ok (with music) using WinUAE in CDTV mode.

Furthermore, a CD *image* works nicely under WinUAE too!

The image is being uploaded to The Boss' server as I type - correct file size is 304Mb (or 319,079,955 bytes) so don't bother leeching it if it's less than that ...

Enjoy!

THANK YOU!!!!!

You are a GOD, man!

Wow, this is wicked news retrosale.co.uk

I've been trying to locate a proper image but all I could find was something only a third of the size of what you've reported...

Thank you so much for sharing (yet again)

retrosale.co.uk · 14 April 2007, 23:12

Oh, 300Mb is just the "zipped" size.

It's actually twice that when extracted!

DamienD · 14 April 2007, 23:26

I guessed that retrosale.co.uk

The one I found was only 90MB WinRAR'd

retrosale.co.uk · 15 April 2007, 01:27

Ok, the upload has finally completed, so leech away, pervs!

Thank you very very much retrosale! Your contributions are very generous.

Gotta say I like the disk version better after all though. The music of the CDTV version is completely different and not nearly as nice as the music of the disk version. The mouse control is very awkward too. But it's nice that this rare game has finally been made available the way it was meant

So you probably won't want to download this music compilation I made for you!

Oh what the heck... Why not!

Thanks again, man.

Btw, I just spotted another (loose) copy of this title on eBay.de:

Leeching would be good, if you have a chance to get a private account for this restricted FTP-server (hello Boss?). Maybe it`s possible to move it to tempzone.
Anyway - is it possible to play this CD on a real CD32?

Yeah. It has awkward mouse control though. And you can't raise bets unless you have a keyboard.
