Is there any news regarding Kaiser as WHDLoad?

Retroplay thanks again for installs! they are perfect! downloading right now cause my hd crashed :/

Methanoid · 19 June 2012, 16:59

If this is now the "repo" for WHDLoad files, could there be some DATS for the files so we can run ours through RomVault and spot where we have old replaced installs or missing ones?

Retroplay · 19 June 2012, 17:30

I'm not a fan of dats for WHDLoad, especially not since most of them are zipped (very bad idea to begin with).
Clrmame scans inside the zips and potentially mess things up, which is bad since some games don't work if being messed around with on a FAT/NTFS drive.

FightinSpirit_v1.2_AGA.zip has been replaced by an .lha archive.
Apparently one file (CharL.gfx) corrupts if zipped.

That is the reason why all new installs are lha'ed rather than zipped.

Methanoid · 20 June 2012, 00:05

Leave the files untouched as LHA or LZX and then just zip on top and make DATS. That way they can be checked easily without risk of screwing the files up and can be spread without every single file being re-downloaded

Retroplay · 20 June 2012, 17:32

Ah zip the zips.
I'll look into it.

[edit]
Dats removed.

Lords Of War! Man I've been waiting for this install, thanks all involved

Retroplay · 25 August 2012, 15:46

ChaosInAndromeda_v1.0_CDTV has been replaced with a new archive.

It seems like I forgot to propack the files when I installed the game, fixed now.

-

CaveMania_v1.2_2220 added (data packed with propack).

Only v1.1 is available at whdownload.

I've recently noticed there are a a couple of examples in the Retroplay updates where the name of the unzipped folder has a 'The' where the title of the zip doesn't.

This probably isn't an issue for many people but if you have a folder called 'TheLostVikings' in your 'Games/L' directory it causes a problem with at least one launcher (TinyLauncher).

Not a big deal to rename the folder after unzipping (or move it) I know but thought I'd mention it for the sake of consistency.

The installs in question are:

LostVikings
LostVikings CD32
Clue
Clue AGA

I can't say thanks enough for all the WHDLoad update packs btw!

Retroplay · 26 August 2012, 15:54

Thanks for reporting, games tidied up and replaced.

German version of The Clue (Der Clou + Profidisk) added too.

I found some other files with new file dates. Have their been other updates?

Retroplay · 30 August 2012, 18:56

The only changes are:

(Following games have been tidied up and replaced)
ChaosInAndromeda_v1.0_CDTV.lha (all data propacked now)
Clue_v1.1_2134.lha
Clue_v1.1_AGA.lha
LostVikings_v2.0_2235.lha

I still think .lha would be a better choice overall though (tough luck Gamebase Amiga users

).

I've made script to check the most common archives on Amiga, if that helps anyone

BTW. why on earth did you use @ on username and password? I'm having hard time to find any ftp-client which would work on names like that. :/

I didn't, Magix did.

Total Commander and FTP Rush both work though and Firefox if using browser.

Magix · 30 August 2012, 20:36

Yes, I did.

Because the FTP accounts are created in this way with cPanel. There is no other way. Sorry.

What a pile of...

I rather not to use PC for these, but we'll see if I figure out something.

Magix · 31 August 2012, 08:46

I do not understand exactly what you are talking about. Please explain with more details. OS? FTP Client or Browser name? What is the problem with "@" sign?

It's pretty unusual to have @ in username and it does seem to cause confusion when parsing on different programs.

In my case I tried with Amiga and MorphOS programs. None of the programs I tried did understand it in URL mode. IBrowse, OWB, DopusFTP... failed to parse it. When entering all separately in Transfer ftp-client it failed too. But I got it to work when manualy entering the info to DopusFTP and ncftp, so I can use it now, but still it breaks (defacto?) standards IMHO.

Magix · 31 August 2012, 10:12

Actually, it is usual. Because my hosting package living at a remote server with cPanel interface. There is no way to create FTP Accounts without using @ sign.

Please copy and paste the URL below in your browser's address bar, I hope that will works.

Code:

ftp://ftp%40magix.ws:ftp%40magix.ws@ftp.magix.ws
