Before there was MegaBall... there was BALL - Page 3

Looks like a nice HDF setup. Not sure how much space remains, i'm going to try to leech all sets i can from Aminet, maybe other sources, then see what i can squeeze into the HDF.

All my .HDFs are nice, fresh / clean and only have files necessary for the game

I found it was a 10mb HDF with 5mb of content, so plenty of space for more files. Handy. I also noticed that the extra board packs already included were from the common 3 disk Megaball 4 AGA set, so apart from one board pack that matched, all the Aminet ones are additions. I was able to include about 15 or so more board sets and have been playing some this afternoon already. Lovely.

I also stumbled upon Super DX Ball 2, damn i forgot about that game, its pretty much the spiritual successor to Megaball for PC and its great. Its even got a Megaball homage boardset in it. https://classic.blitwise.com/sdxbdeluxe.html

The MegaBall4 source archive includes heaps of boards, many of which were not previously distributed.

Thanks for the reminder, i meant to check that and it did garner a good bunch more files. I also checked a load of the ADF versions from TOSEC and eab servers etc and added a couple more, plus 2 mods. Adjusted the tooltypes on the exe and good to go.

104 board pack files, although some may need to be deleted as useless...
