I tried a few random archives (IGame_Screens_RTG.lha, AGS_Slave_Screens_ECS_LoRes.lha, TinyLauncher.lha) and got the same message about a newer LHA being required. Listing the contents worked fine but it refused to extract. I'm also using LHA 2.15.

I then tried lhasa and that worked just fine so that's a solution for anyone that runs into the same problem.

The project can now be found in '/Collection/Various/WHDLoad_Images' on the File Server.

Hello, were there no more updates for the images?

May 2023 Update

It's been over a year since the last update of my WHDLoad frontend image collection. The set is fully up-to-date with Retroplay's WHDLoad set and each archive is named in accordance with the frontend in the filename.

There are archives supporting IGame, TinyLauncher, Launchbox and a generic set as well. As well as web sources images, I've made several custom artworks for the latest game releases not available anywhere else. The IGame sets also include a complete set of igame.data files for version 2.4.0.

This is a full release as there was no point doing an update pack and I'm still working on improving the title and screen images. This involves capturing new higher resolution game title and screen image for every game in Retroplay's collection. This is a lot of work, so I will put out another full set when I'm done.

There's a new readme file that goes into a bit more detail in the download folders.

Links are in the first post.

I just noticed there's no screenshots for Worms_v1.0_AVI_CD32. I guess since it's just the AVI intro? is this correct?

Not bad at all.

Just one other question, Should your genres file be copied into the iGame directory overriding the original file?

[mrv2k]

All the included igame.data files use that genre file.

Would just like to send a shutout to mrv2k.. The work and the organisation of this image collection which supports the classic Amiga is just phenomenal, which also syncs up with the retro-play sets at directory level including support for the PC and Launchbox.. .I really cant find the words to express the gratitude for all the work/effort you have put into this.... I've been away from the real Amiga for some years and been lurking about here for some years.. There are many people in these forums, contributors, devs, enthusiasts ect,ect.. that really do need and deserve a pat on the back for all the work and projects they have been involved with over the years...Massive amounts of respect to you mrv2k and the many many people who have collated, dissected, compiled, bug fixed, created and preserved the classic Amiga in its current form and beyond... Is there such a thread for the modern day heroes of Amiga land? If not why not? Amazing!

do you have to copy files Manuel to game folder or is there a better way?
