Retroplay's WHD uploads

[TroelsDK]

Thanks StingRay, I can see you already assigned the task

OK nice to know it's on its way

[TCD]

MightAndMagic3_v1.2_2346.zip
->
The .info file points to the old v1.0 slave. A fresh install seems to be needed for this one
(I'm only reporting it, Frode found the problem:
<FrodeSolheim> SLAVE=Might&Magic3.slave
<FrodeSolheim> that's the one from 1.0..
<FrodeSolheim> MightandMagic3.slave <- 1.2, no .info file references it..)

[Retroplay]

Fixed.

I reinstalled and cleaned up the german version while I was at it too.

[TCD]

Thank you very much

[Retro-Nerd]

@Retroplay: Could you please preinstall Jonathan? And Frode said something about Might and Magic III, which is still not correctly installed.

[Retroplay]

I'll get right on Jonathan.

What seems to be the problem with M&M3 ?
I tested all versions before upload and didn't find any problems with any of them.

[Retro-Nerd]

From irc:

data/Might&MagicIII is from the old version, and also, docs/Passwörter.txt shouldn't be there.

[Retroplay]

Jonathan has been added, are there more oldies which have been forgotten perhaps ?

I still don't see what the problem is with M&M 3 though, besides an error entry in FS-UAE database (sorry I'm not an FS-UAE user).
M&M 3, both english and german version, was installed from scratch. No files from old archives where used.

[Retro-Nerd]

Jonathan isn't in your folder. For MM3: Frode might have confused himself, or not. Wait if he answer here. Frode and TCD got slightly different result with the preinstalled game.

Edit: Now Jonathan is there, wasn't listed via Web FTP access a few minutes ago.

[TCD]

Both Frode and myself get a different checksum for Might&MagicIII in the data folder when using the 'Might & Magic III - Isles of Terra (1992)(New World Computing)[FD-HD][2346]' IPFs and the standard install options Just wondering why more than saying that your install doesn't work (and we need to have the same checksum for that file...)

Edit: Just in case you want to check, this is what we get:

CRC-32: e044cad2
   MD4: 11752a50605dc489250ecf3faea9e842
   MD5: 73c548e9009b1602e4650a8d4ce90dbd
 SHA-1: 582acfcd3c32243c474b5516606a0a66ccb91677

Edit 2: Mystery solved

[Retroplay]

Hmm this is weird.
This is what I get, english SPS 2346 version:

Name:    Might&MagicIII
Size:    272088
CRC32:    b3b21809
MD5:    99580ed31089dfca12123f11405e6b29
SHA1:    9ea6603d2ab6de4ef59bf321e39e96560ac32e71

Still the game boots up and works.

Aha I was right, file is modified on first boot.

Indeed Thanks for checking again

[Retroplay]

Case closed then... for now, I'm quite sure more games with behaviour like this will pop up eventually.

[TCD]

At least we know now it can happen and will try harder next time before annoying you

Btw:

<FrodeSolheim> the second byte of the file is changed from byte value 2 to byte value 0.. that's the difference..
<TCD>

[Retroplay]

Hehe

Oh and btw, please give me a holler if you find more games I forgot to install.
If Jonathan eluded me the first time around there could be others too.

[Bamiga2002]

Thanks for continuous work all WHDLoaders!

[Retroplay]

Damn, CFOU is keeping me busy these days.

[thevoice]

i guess someone is still kept busy

thank you for all those updated packs retroplay and ofcourse those which update/make the slaves

[Retroplay]

Yes, Thanks to especially CFou, StingRay, Psygore and the rest of the authors I've been quite busy installing lately.

In this occasion I'll also like to thank CFou for supplying the spanish images needed for his recent installs.

[Methanoid]

Anyone able to advise an easy way to install a big pile of WHDLoad files?
