DefJam & CCS Compact Disk Compilation

Hi Everybody!
I was wondering...
Does anyone have all DefJam & CCS Compact Disks Compilations?
There are only 5 of 11 in the tosec dat amiga compilations games : 5(bad)-7-9-10-11

[DPainter]

I don't have them all, but attached is #4. Try using KS 1.2, no external drive, etc. I do have another Defjam compact that doesn't say what # it is. It contains the following HOL games: 1251,2108,3809,2449. No room to attach it here.

Can You post it?
Thanks!!

Anyone can help us to find the other ones???

The Defjam CCS compacks will always have a special place in my heart - They were the very first copied disks I got and I had them about a week before I even bought the Amiga!

Shame I gave all my disks away when I sold my (first) Amiga back in '91

I've just upped a fully 100% working Compact Disk n°5 to the Zone for your pleasure!

NOTES:

For Mach 3 and Slaygon, you need a special configuration
(please note that this also applies to users with the real thing!! Both games failed on my A1000 @ KS 1.3)

- Kickstart 1.2 (33.180)
- 512K Chip RAM
- 512K expansion ("slow") RAM

That's mandatory because the ancient CCS cruncher requires this.

[DPainter]

OK, I put the mystery Defjam compact into the Zone. Haven't tested all games but probably requires similar config as described in previous post by Andreas.

Wrong!

1. Neither game fails due to "an ancient CCS cruncher"
2. Slaygon does not require 512k expansion ("slow") RAM
3. The CCS intro is the problem

The reason those 2 games crash is ONE call to a KS1.2 specific ROM address in the Defjam intro. By nop'ing out that one instruction (or skipping the intro completely) both games run perfectly on WB1.3 aswell. Slaygon even runs on an Amiga 1200 configuration:

Mach 3: At $266b6 change $4ef9 to $4e75
Slaygon: At $1b55e change $4ef9 to $4e75

I would guess that both these ORIGINAL games would work perfectly under WB1.2 and 1.3 so I think those comments in HOL should be corrected.

[derSammler]

so I think those comments in HOL should be corrected.

Or to say it once again: Such comments should not be entered by guess at all! It will be HOLs fall if andreas does not stop thinking that he's always right...

[andreas]

Bullshit! I don't think I'm always right, and nobody has said that!
But WindowsKiller, it was clear as anything that YOU jump on the train immediately if there's some occasion to bash!
And mind you, if someone is wrong, the other can correct the one that is wrong! That's why we are a TEAM. (The contrary of AUTOCRAT, btw. Likewise, you would have to agree to change something in your behavior if some team member(s) say you should. You instead would probably go discussing about the justifiedness of your behavior; and talk so long until everyone is blue in the face )

Nevertheless: Errare humanum est [tm].

Yes, I made a mistake. But by the way, what makes you judge about criteria of the rise and fall of HOL as a non-member because of some mere notes? That's just silly.

Codetapper was visibly not amused, but was telling me in an exigent but nevertheless POLITE way. That's the way of criticism I accept - not your kind of going personal, making HOL's rise and fall dependent of single people, etc.

---

@Codetapper:
SORRY man, anyway I was testing on my REAL thing and checked out REAL behavior on REAL 68000 Amiga. It wasn't entered by pure luck! Nor were my findings based on observations made on the emulator because of foolishness' sake.

Secondly: I DO NOT CARE if this can be fixed or not in first place. The report I gave is about the ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED scene release "as-is"!

I would guess that both these ORIGINAL games would work perfectly under WB1.2 and 1.3 so I think those comments in HOL should be corrected.

Yes, I would guess that too. That's just why I wrote "the version from the Defjam - CCS compact"!!
I just felt the need to note that down because ppl tend to say that 2 games on that compact are "broken", but they aren't!
Anyway, if you really insist to get every detail right, I can agree on PM'ing you before entering possibly vague infos like "ancient cruncher" next time. But please don't give me the fluff then when I ask you to take a look inside

Well, I'll correct that immediately, according to your explanations.
[edit] done ... if you have anything else to correct, please tell me so.

In case you insist: why not upload a [f Codetapper] version to the zone? It would be modified then, but useful.

[derSammler]

@andreas: The point is that you have not learned anything from the last discussion we had about that.

But WindowsKiller, it was clear as anything that YOU jump on the train immediately if there's some occasion to bash!

Don't take it personally. I open my mouth if I don't like something, like you do as well. So keep your stones...

And mind you, if someone is wrong, the other can correct the one that is wrong! That's why we are a TEAM.

But the team is not there to correct your stupid guesses! And don't use the argument that you are a team! Do you remember the pm you sent me some time ago in which you've blamed a member of "your" team to defend yourself ? Too bad that most people don't see both of your faces...

Anyway, making a mistake isn't the same as making a guess. If you think that (like in this case) a problem is caused by an ancient cruncher, great. But do not add this to the HOL until it was verified by someone who has the needed knowledge. That's so simple, why can't you understand it ?

Yes, I made a mistake. But by the way, what makes you judge about criteria of the rise and fall of HOL as a non-member because of some mere notes? That's just silly.

Not again... Yeah, we are all non-members and we have to shut up. Come on, get serious! I have every right to complain because I'm a HOL user. You know, one of those, for which the HOL was created. Wrong information in such a database will be its death.

That's the internal problem of the team, and not yours!
That's why we have an internal forum for this kind of internal affairs.
FFS, stop acting as if you're a part of it and as if you were destined for giving me instructions of any kind!

And don't use the argument that you are a team! Do you remember the pm you sent me some time ago in which you've blamed a member of "your" team to defend yourself ? Too bad that most people don't see both of your faces...

Ah well...when will YOU ever learn not to publish contents of PMs?
Private messages are private!!! So if you repeatedly prove to be such a fucking untrustworthy snitch, I'll avoid sending you pms of ANY KIND in the future, if that is what you want to achieve!! With a big 'n shiny 'TRAITOR' emblem on your chest, at best!
Always when you appear to run out of arguments, you seem to tend to publish contents of PMs, even though their contents don't fit in this context! That's so freakingly perfidious and cheap!

If you accuse me of not showing both of my (apparently?) two faces, I have to ask you as well: Could the aforementioned behavior be YOUR other face, probably? The one that stabs people in the back by publishing contents of ancient PMs?

I would prefer to get the originals and crack them properly than a nasty hack of a Defjam compact. Plus it would then create even more alternate versions which isn't really the best thing. There are already far too many games with about 6 alt tags and investigation shows it's usually a bad track/sector or modified high scores or disk name or hacked startup-sequence or something completely useless.

[derSammler]

That's the internal problem of the team, and not yours!

Seems like you still don't understand. It is a problem for all users of the HOL! It's not an "internal problem" when you enter unproven data. The rest of the team is not responsible for your acts.

FFS, stop acting as if you're a part of it and as if you were destined for giving me instructions of any kind!

In your opinion, no one is destined for giving you instructions. Otherwise you would have reacted the first time we had this discussion. But you didn't... Read the old discussion again, I was not alone with my opinion.

Ah well...when will YOU ever learn not to publish contents of PMs?

I have not really published any content of that pm. No quotations, no name, so...

So if you repeatedly prove to be such a fucking untrustworthy snitch, I'll avoid sending you pms of ANY KIND in the future, if that is what you want to achieve!!

Yeah, please do. It would be nice if you would stop sending me pm's with all those information which I have never asked you for...

Always when you appear to run out of arguments, you seem to tend to publish contents of PMs, even though their contents don't fit in this context!

That's so ridiculous. I've shown a pm 2.5 years ago to the moderators of the GAEB (that's not even "publishing" because the public was not involved) but you still keep saying that I do this every time. You think that I'm running out of arguments ? Why do you have to rely on that old story then ?

Anyway, let's stay on topic. You have used the argument that you are a part of the team, so it fits into this context exactly. I just want that other people know what you are really thinking about the team. Because this is what you always do: In public you say only what's good for pleasing other people. But behind their back you use pm's and emails to offend them or others. And then you hide behind that "Private messages are private" thing. This should be true, of course but it's not an excuse.

Could the aforementioned behavior be YOUR other face, probably? The one that stabs people in the back by publishing contents of ancient PMs?

Think about who is really stabing people in the back... The one who actually wrote the pm or the one who is telling other people about it ? You have wrote this pm, not I. And it wasn't ancient, it was only 9 weeks ago.

Anyway, I know that I'm an asshole sometimes but I don't hide it! As you can see yourself. And I don't conceal my opinion over others like you do.

btw, can't you discuss without using insult words ?

I don't know how old it was. And if at all, what's the problem with it? If some team member would really have complained about the contents, I would certainly have managed to arrange with him and/or talk my way out of this and tell *why* I said these things. But that's definitely not *your* subject to worry about, mind you. Keep out of things that are none of your business. Nor mention them in public!
I really REGRET that I had given this info to you in secret trust. Couldn't foreknow what would happen with it.

Anyway, I know that I'm an asshole sometimes but I don't hide it!

Asshole? Would that tell something about your character? Not a pinch!
Incredibly dogmatic person and or extremely patient disputer would rather fit, because it describes YOU instead of foolishly swearing around! Also in the GAEB times, I've hardly ever called you names (= swear words), because I think a characterizing term "hurts" a lot more than such an intellectually undemanding word like "a....le".

btw, can't you discuss without using insult words ?

Can't seem to find any in my "speech". The first I read is the one *you* used to (allegedly) self-characterize yourself, the one with a......
(But as I said it doesn't characterize you because this word may be insulting, but meaningless. I prefer meaningful characterizations of people.)

[Paul]

I don’t want to upset anyone, but please can you two continue this conversation in private. I don’t like seeing arguments.

[derSammler]

Can't seem to find any in my "speech".

What's "fucking untrustworthy snitch" then ?

Anyway, I will not continue to discuss at this level. It's too ridiculous, even for me... Discussion ended, bye.

OK, cowardly draw in your horns, call my level "low" and run away. Fine. Well done.

Bye.

(Btw ... a 'snitch' is a fraction of a 'traitor'. [Compare 'schwindeln' and 'lügen']. A traitor is something lot more serious. I intentionally chose the *weaker* word.)

[derSammler]

OK, cowardly draw in your horns, call my level "low" and run away. Fine. Well done.

I don't run away. But I know when it's time to stop.

btw: "at this level" = "auf dieser Ebene", in the meaning of argue that way. I've not called your level low...

Perhaps I'm a bit off topic.. but does anyone have found any other Dejfam & CCS compact compilation???
