whdload games under windows and case sensitiviti

26 April 2004, 18:17

Hi,
i remember when i tried to unpack some whdload games that there where files
that have the same name but different cases.
Then i unpacked them under Linux and transferd them to windows, but i cant remember if there where errors, am i able to use this games now or are the files important?
would be fine when they land in tosec and check for problems like this.

BTW. how can i sort my few adf games into subfolder, so that i have one folder per game and not 3 versions of any game?

thx

Wut ?

1. The games probably won't work, you will need to do the unpacking under AmigaOS itself where it supports the files.

2. No. I had to use a script to do this as no renamers support it.

sorry for the unregistered, no cookie for this site have to change it.
thx for the answer, luck that i have the lzx files here.
Can you give me a hint how to make such a script.
i thought about that, it has to create one folder with a name trough the first "("
and than put all files with the same name trough the first "(" into that one.
Did you make this with a windows batch script?
Maybe you can post it here

thx

No, I used PHP, then I scrapped the idea completely after creating something much better than just found games based on what I type.

i cant really get the point?
PHP sounds nice also, im just cleaning my drives here and wanna have that things in a nice form backedup.

Do you have a local Webserver then?

lostfriend · 26 April 2004, 18:58

Enverex do you have a hint how i can manage the files,
i looked a bit arround some forums, but didnt found anything.

Enverex · 29 April 2004, 14:03

Nope, not unless you write something to manage them yourself or the renamer software makers add an option to add a folder per game...

i wrote a little script in php, thx for the idea.
works fine and feels much better, so i have a clear overview and can only
save my loved classics.
