Heya guys,

...not really sure where to put this thread so decided to it can live under the project.MAGE section.

Now that Toni has released WinUAE v3.6.0 with the awesome "Boxart" panel, it's probably a good time for me to unleash my collection into the wild (minus any games that I've purchased plus APC&TCP titles).

I've been working on this on / off for 12+ years now. It's mainly a disk-based collection but in the past 2 years I've been adding in:

Custom .HDFs created by me for games that don't run from floppy.
Custom AmigaCD --> HDFs; again created by me.
A few WHDLoad games where major bug fixes over the floppy version has occurred.

You can see the current list of games here.

Using all my knowledge / reading forums / loads of testing; I feel that all included files are 100% working versions, although obviously I cannot fully guarantee this...

The collection is 6.32GB WinRAR'd and 11.90GB uncompressed. I've also written a nice batch file that does everything for you:

1) Extracts the files from the WinRAR archives to "C:\WinUAE".
2) Removes old and applies the required registry settings.
3) Copies a WinUAE shortcut to your desktop.

Your collection is nothing short of superior.

Now people might say; why use so many .ADFs when loading is sooooo much slower than from hard drive? Firstly, I love old school cracktros / trainers. Secondly, this is not really an issue in emulation. You can use the following tricks to eradicate boring loading times:

Set "Floppy Drive Emulation Speed" to "800%" (which works fine for 95% of games).
Toggle "Warp" mode on / off i.e. <End> + <Pause>.

Ok, a few things to note:

All games are configured to be run in "Fullscreen" mode.
60% of the games run in a resolution of "640x480", 40% in "720x576", but keep the original aspect ratio (see this post for more details).
"Keyboard Layout B" is set for "Port 2"; obviously if you plug in your joystick / controller and press button one it will swap over. With the second joystick / controller, press the 2nd button to swap over.
I love / use scanlines, these are set at 50% opacity and very rarely 25%.
Onscreen LEDs are turned on so you can see activity.
If a game has 2 or more disks, the "Disk swapper" has been populated in a logical way, see Important Keys on usage.

Also, in some of the <gamedirs> you will find cheats, hints, level codes, manuals, maps, strategies, tips, walkthroughs which have been painstakingly formatted by me to be printer friendly and in a consistent layout / format. To view these from WinUAE, right-click on the title bar of the "Boxart" panel and select "Open Game Folder":

Finally, if you don't like any the above settings it's very easy to change by either:

1) Notepad++":

Using Notepad++ to modify all configurations to suit your needs in a matter of seconds via the "Search" --> "Find in Files..." function.

For example:

Turn off "Scanlines":
Find "gfx_filter_scanlines=50" and replace with "gfx_filter_scanlines=0".
Find "gfx_filter_scanlines=25" and replace with "gfx_filter_scanlines=0".
Find "gfx_filter_scanlines_rtg=50" and replace with "gfx_filter_scanlines_rtg=0".
Find "gfx_filter_scanlines_rtg=25" and replace with "gfx_filter_scanlines_rtg=0".

Turn off "Onscreen LEDs":
Find "show_leds=true" and replace with "show_leds=false".
Find "show_leds_rtg=true" and replace with "show_leds_rtg=false".

2) "Host" --> "Autoload":

Awesome! Can't wait for it to be peer reviewed and ready. Sounds like another "ultimate" Amiga setup but this time for winuae. Sweet.

To be totally honest; I don't really need peer reviews or feedback and could release right now... but it's nice to have

My collection has been tested to perfection by me over the past 12+ years, time and time again

The files / configurations / settings used are top notch; in the past if / when I've found an issue, said game has been investigated and then replaced if a better one exists.

All 2300 games work without having to mess around; just double-click and go

The only things people may want to change is aesthetic stuff like:

... Display settings to suit your preference.
... Scanlines on / off.
... LEDs on / off.

Anyway, these are the game which I cannot share due to being purchased / APC&TCP titles: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...postcount=2003

Sinphaltimus · 19 January 2018, 15:50

Well, I would be one of the first to ask once it's "ready". I know it's ready now, but I am never excited about large downloads because I don't just love running 80's and 90's era computers, I live in the 1990s with my internet access being 1 up 3 down DSL. So waiting is OK with me.

DamienD · 19 January 2018, 16:15

Ok, then sent me a PM with your address and I'll post you a USB stick

...only thing I ask in return is feedback; good or bad.

happymondays · 19 January 2018, 17:31

Sounds very interesting. I mean I would really like to try it out, if you intend to share it.

DamienD · 19 January 2018, 17:57

Yes, of course I intend to share otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered creating this thread in the first place

...currently I'm uploading all numerous 500MB split archives to my file hosting site, ready for distribution to anyway that is interested

Stay tuned!

happymondays · 19 January 2018, 19:46

Nice, thanks a lot.

DamienD · 19 January 2018, 21:12

All parts now uploading to my Mega.nz page

You need to PM me if you want a copy

*** rant on ***

...and for people wondering why I just don't upload everything to the EAB File Server.

Simple really, out of 2300 games there are 265 x .IPF files in my collection.

Reason being:

a) Cracks of these games were shite.
b) Cracks were missing important or hacked screens.
c) Cracks are spread over more disks than the original so "disk swapping hell" occurs; I totally understand the reasons why though.

From my perspective, I'm not about to replace these .IPFs with sub-standard .ADFs in my collection...

Anyway; to be totally blunt; I don't really care about the SPS / IPF team anymore... for 15+ years we've abided by your rules and for what???

When's the last time any SPS / IPF member actually visited EAB, let alone answered various questions from numerous people who've submitted dumps / heard nothing back / not received files???

Fact; every single .IPF in my collection is easily obtained from a 3 second Google search (and has been the case for over a decade now) so why should EAB not being able to upload these and be forced to respect your rules for nothing in return???

...not to mention, as the Amiga is getting close to 30 years old now; it's harder and harder for people to actually puchase these original disks. Plus, even if they can at extoronate prices, the chances are that they will be damaged / unreadable or probably modified.

So, well done SPS / IPF team for preserving all these for only your own gratitude / the lucky few / elite!!!

In years to come nobody will actually remember the Amiga or any of these games...

Good job; take these games you've presevered to your grave as opposed to sharing them with the community that matters

*** rant off ***

haps · 19 January 2018, 23:08

Great stuff Damien.

Next time your back home, I will have to shout you a couple of beers, I already owe you a couple from years back for the snes DVD.

DamienD · 19 January 2018, 23:13

My friend; no worries

PM me your address in Oz and I'll post you a USB stick on Monday (GMT)

DamienD · 20 January 2018, 11:43

Phew!!! All now uploaded; 13 x 500MB files

People who PM'd me, you now have mail

Mclane · 20 January 2018, 15:13

Damien, just got all of it and set it up....Bloody marvellous!!

Thank you for your attention to detail and time, its a work of art mate!

Looking to alter the scan lines, never a fan

I'm sure I can sort a multi file find and replace type thing..

Can't blame you re the IPS annoyance, that sort of thing happens across the board in emulation as you know.

Back to your pack

Cheers

Paul...

chip · 20 January 2018, 15:19

Are "your" games TOSEC games or they come from other sources too ?

Any settings are very easy to change in a matter of seconds

To switch scanlines off in all configuration files just do this:

Download / install Notepad++.
Open it, select "Search" --> "Find in Files".
Set exactly the following:
Click "Replace in Files".
Now change "gfx_filter_scanlines=50" to "gfx_filter_scanlines=25" in the "Find what" area.
Click "Replace in Files".

Done!!!

Mostly TOSEC; but some created / modified by me etc...

Mclane · 21 January 2018, 15:53

Ah, thank you for the Notepad++ tutorial, love that program...

Much appreciated...

/Paul buys Damien a virtual pint of whatever he's having!

Hopefully the others love this pack as much as me

DamienD · 21 January 2018, 16:17

...considering at least 15 other people now have this and yet only you has been bothered to provide feedback (which is all that I ask really after sharing my 12+ year project)

Oh well; I know this collection rocks anyway so...

Sinphaltimus Registered User Join Date: Aug 2016 Location: Cresco, PA, USA Age: 53 Posts: 1,126	Well, I would be one of the first to ask once it's "ready". I know it's ready now, but I am never excited about large downloads because I don't just love running 80's and 90's era computers, I live in the 1990s with my internet access being 1 up 3 down DSL. So waiting is OK with me.

Simple really, out of 2300 games there are 265 x .IPF files in my collection. Reason being: a) Cracks of these games were shite. b) Cracks were missing important or hacked screens. c) Cracks are spread over more disks than the original so "disk swapping hell" occurs; I totally understand the reasons why though. From my perspective, I'm not about to replace these .IPFs with sub-standard .ADFs in my collection... Anyway; to be totally blunt; I don't really care about the SPS / IPF team anymore... for 15+ years we've abided by your rules and for what??? When's the last time any SPS / IPF member actually visited EAB, let alone answered various questions from numerous people who've submitted dumps / heard nothing back / not received files??? Fact; every single .IPF in my collection is easily obtained from a 3 second Google search (and has been the case for over a decade now) so why should EAB not being able to upload these and be forced to respect your rules for nothing in return??? ...not to mention, as the Amiga is getting close to 30 years old now; it's harder and harder for people to actually puchase these original disks. Plus, even if they can at extoronate prices, the chances are that they will be damaged / unreadable or probably modified. So, well done SPS / IPF team for preserving all these for only your own gratitude / the lucky few / elite!!! In years to come nobody will actually remember the Amiga or any of these games... Good job; take these games you've presevered to your grave as opposed to sharing them with the community that matters * rant off * Last edited by DamienD; 19 January 2018 at 21:35.

Thank you for your attention to detail and time, its a work of art mate! Looking to alter the scan lines, never a fan I'm sure I can sort a multi file find and replace type thing.. Can't blame you re the IPS annoyance, that sort of thing happens across the board in emulation as you know. Back to your pack Cheers Paul...

DamienD Banned Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: London / Sydney Age: 46 Posts: 20,420	...considering at least 15 other people now have this and yet only you has been bothered to provide feedback (which is all that I ask really after sharing my 12+ year project) Oh well; I know this collection rocks anyway so...
