Dune - old file-based WHDLoad patch

MethodGit · 05 April 2007, 15:41

This used to be over at http://jffabre.free.fr/amiga/whdloaders/, which doesn't exist anymore. Anyone still have this?

killergorilla · 05 April 2007, 15:52

And you want this why?

MethodGit · 05 April 2007, 16:39

It's different to the modern diskfile version? By way of using the game's own data files post-HD-install?

Mad-Matt · 05 April 2007, 17:29

all the files are in the disk images, just rip em off if ya want em that bad

kriz · 05 April 2007, 18:38

Hehe you want an old version, but you dont know why ?

Come on.

MethodGit · 05 April 2007, 21:06

*sigh* It's significantly different from the diskimage version, ok? I just thought it'd be nice to use. Also it should take up less space, I tend to believe.

is there a gestapo team forming in at EAB ?

WTF guys ? he's just asking for something...help him if you can and leave him in peace if you cannot! i tend to love file-based installs myself! it's a religious matter!

you should go outside... take some fresh air...HAVE A REAL LIFE instead of hurting quiet people living here please!!

Was about to say something like that myself.

Give the guy what he asks for, pls.

Well, iirc I read over at the WHDload FAQ that filebased patches work much better on systems with tight memory (such as the CD32) because you can avoid preloading unnecessary files and it's easier for the program to preload them in an efficient manner or something. THAT is in itself a reason to if possible avoid WHDload patches that use disk images if you ask me

killergorilla · 06 April 2007, 05:09

That's not the reason he wants it though. Methodgit doesn't actually USE any of the files he keeps requesting. He just hoardes the "rarities" because they are no longer available.

He's doing it a LOT recently.

MethodGit · 06 April 2007, 08:43

Wrong, KG. I happen to have this on my webspace:

http://www.renegadedebaser.com/Amiga/

A place where I usually store anything that's dead hard to get hold of again, for everyone to benefit from. Granted, I haven't had the opportunity to update it with more stuff recently but I will get round to that.

i have a rare france98 SWOS update

nowhere online seems to have it so it would be great if you could host it.

kriz · 06 April 2007, 13:18

hehe marz, you change reason why you want the files every second. If you wanted it for your "special files" page, tell me. No need to talk about smaller files, faster this and that etc..

You gonna upload this somewhere?

I presume it's from the cu amiga cd 24?

Graham Humphrey · 07 April 2007, 17:32

I have the original floppy disk with this on at home (CU July 98)...

I'll ADF it for ya if you like, assuming gordonbennett hasn't uploaded his by tomorrow

(Won't get the time to do it tonight)

Graham Humphrey · 07 April 2007, 17:34

By the way - how the hell did this thread get from Dune to SWOS?!

BippyM · 08 April 2007, 14:04

it's called going OT

Graham Humphrey · 08 April 2007, 14:26

The ADF of that CU Amiga SWOS disk is now in the Zone if anyone is interested...
