DamienD's WinUAE Collection

[ptyerman]

I hope a permanent ban from EAB and it's ftp is also been thought of if you pin down who this is!

[wiz12]

Leaked less than 24 hours later? Whoever did this deserves to be permanently banned.

[stobros]

Great effort indeed. Thank you so much for keeping Amiga soul live!

[Viceroy]

I don't believe this, when will they ever learn?
Never bite the hand that feeds you for gods sake!

[zoodah]

Well, f**king great. Thanks for ruining it for the rest of us, leaker.

@DamienD
Thanks for the archive!

In appreciation of the time you took to sort through all of these games for proper naming and working versions, I've attached a Windows CMD script that will copy ADF's from your extracted archive onto a letter-of-the-alphabet-folder USB stick perfectly suitable for a GoTek flashed with HxC or FlashFloppy. A little something for those of us who'd like to enjoy this collection on real hardware.

This removes the folder-within-a-folder hierarchy you would otherwise see if copying them directly. Just edit the source and destination, insert your USB stick and run the script.

Found one of the torrents. They even had the gall to copy/paste DamienD's one post about having to pm him to get the pack. Disrespectful.

Hi!
It seems that it is a fantastic collection, one can see the great work you have done.

Congratulations!

Yup and it's the same guy uploading the original collection plus "Update Pack #1" to public torrent sites i.e: Marcus Blackfellow.

He's also been posting comments on Indie Retro News and Sinphaltimus's YouTube videos; which have been removed about a week ago.

Trade mark style of writing is as follows in bold:

First things first: KEEP CIRCULATING THE ROMS! Share this archive wherever you like to keep the AMIGA spirit alive!
DO NOT SELL THIS COMPILATION. RESPECT THE DEVELOPERS AND PUBLISHERS!

Decided to get back to what I enjoy doing; investigating / adding in new games to my collection. ;-)
So, I\'ve now produced Update Pack #1 which contains the following since base release:

2 configuration updates, 4 games updates, 1 screenshot update, 50 new additions!

Discussion (remember SHOW RESPECT):
eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=90314

How do you get this pack; you need to PM or e-mail me.
...but given what happened last time, am going to be cautious of who I give this to. 8-)

THINK YOU CAN LOCK THIS BEHIND A PAYWALL? HOW ADORABLE.
YOU TRIGGERED YET?

So guys, thanks to this fool there will now be no more updates going forward...

Of course I will continue to work on my collection though and improve as I've done for over 12 years now

This sucks big time & I've been going through the update pack & enjoying games I never tried before but I understand. Thank you for the initial trust
that you allowed the people here to enjoy the results of your hard work.

Hopefully the turd is permabanned from the forum.

...thing is; as I mentioned, I kept a record of every single member I gave this to over that one day period.

It was 20 people; 17 of these are my friends who I *think* I can trust...

The remaining 3 people have zero posts on EAB, never contributed etc...

...but saying that *and this is going to sound very harsh*, I'm not even sure if I can trust those other 17 now.

At the end of the day there's no way this could have possibly been leaked so quickly without one of the 20 passing on the URL / details (yet again)...

That's fact; and all I can possibly conclude from this messed up situation!!!

...there's definitely a rat amongst us here on EAB unfortunately

[Decypher]

Some low-life scum ruining things for everyone, how typical.

Well, I can say it wasn't me but that really doesn't hold water, does it? I only frequent one private torrent site for my MAME update roms (and I can confirm your collection is not there but I'll be on the lookout) but again, I understand how a trust was broken.

Great work... My real A1200 stays safe in desk and I am playing with your games at my laptop... Thanks again

Looking good with the update Damien. I am currently busy with work so am on pause with going through the original pack and hopefully when able will update my WinUAE to the latest version and look at the other updates I need to do. Sorry for the lack of updates.

I have also just got half of my Amiga collection out of the loft so bust sorting through that when I get the chance which I am so happy about haha.

Sorry to read it's been leaked already, I appreciated your trust in giving me the original pack as my old EAB profile seemed to be closed.

Dude... I am the one of that three recently "Zero" messaged member at past. But I am not that lamer also... By the way thanks again and I hope you will continue to that good work...

[DamienD]

Ok, full disclosure... here are the names of the 20 people that I gave the URL to (and had actually read it) half-an-hour before it was leaked:

... avukatka
... butfluffy
... Decypher
... denymetanol
... dragon57
... happymondays
... haps
... hipoonios
... jabybau
... kkgarbod
... lucadip
... malko
... Minuous
... overkill_me
... Phantomz
... ransom1122
... ScrappyDog
... spajdr
... speshady
... vulture
... walkero
... wiz12
... zoodah

The people not in bold have been on EAB for some time now and who I consider friends so wouldn't do something like this to me.

The people in bold have zero posts on EAB and I don't know from a bar of soap...

So, please tell me what I'm supposed to make from all this???

Finally, I hear through the grapevine that a *certain* private torrent site offered:

A bounty of 2TB upload credit for the fulfilment of my update pack... and that the uploader now has 2TB upload credit to his name.

[zoodah]

2TB upload credit for a 50MB update pack?

[Viceroy]

Beyond belief?

This update must be worth as much as Gold or Printer Ink!
