My Amiga B2000 is relegated to the loft along with three boxes consisting of about 200 Amiga games or so. Due to it's size I have decided to use my laptop, and leave the big beast to collect dust. I bought the CD containing the ROM etc. I am now trying to find some good ROM sites. I have found a couple which have still got active links, but the selection is rather small. Can anyone please help and give me some good web addresses for ROMS
many thanks PAC pacworth@aol.com ![]() |

Sorry if I have offended anyone. I did not intend to upset you. I don't appreciate having the p*ss taken out of me either.

Some people are very touchy mate
![]() The reason they came down on you was because there is a FAQ (the announcement) intended for someone in exactly your situation. |

Gawd, what a shitty attitude! The guy asks where to find stuff, he is given the information and is corrected on calling Amiga disks roms. So he cops an attitude.
@pacuk01 No one said their time was wasted, nobody said they were offended, nobody was upset and only you know if the piss was taken out of you or not. If you think this was getting attacked, stick around... |

I will. But I have another one for you------ The game I loved was Batman The Movie, I have got some zips which I have unzipped. I have since found other copies, and I still get the same problem when I put the adf file into the fictional drive. It comes up with an error. I also found an adz file and I haven't a clue what an adz file is

Found info on Batman elsewhere, so hopefully it will work, but what is an adz file?

Hi
ADZ files are just ADF's that have been GZip'd (packed zip style) http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1513 has a good bit of banter worth reading which may help. Just like a few in that thread i'm with 'un-zipping' em and using ADF's outright. (Or standard zipped not gzipped) ![]() cya ![]() |

I know each camp has their reason for using adz or rar or whatever, but I really wish people would just stick with one standard, zip. Yes, rar compresses better, but do those extra several bytes really matter THAT much in this day and age. It's not as if we're storing the archives on floppy. I prefer uniform standards, but it seems this will always be a pipe dream. And both adz and rar create various problems (for me, at least, so someone else must have issues besides me).
As for integrating the DMS arguement here, I keep my original DMS files (I don't convert the adf's I get to DMS!), but it's not as if I post DMS files when they are requested. In fact, some of the requests I get, I have in only DMS format from my old collection, so I always take the time to convert them to adf/zip first. I run them through the TOSEC database and if they don't match, I do an ersatz name. The reason is that some people may need the infos from these filenames, since not everyone has a database like I do. Those that don't care can rename the files at their leisure. This way everyone can be catered to. Zip is, by and large, the most common archiver on most every machine out there, so nobody ever has to deal with how to get into these files. My rant... |

Pack, try ADF opus. It converts ADZ and DMS files into ADF's.
Do a google search. |
