Acorn Archimedes Gamebase

[sjakie43]

Hello all,

I have this V4 version by Sut? on my HD and it looks quite nice.

With Arculator (0.99)it runs quite good but when i want to use the latest Version (2.2) it keeps
on loading the last played game whatever game i choose.

Can someone please take a look at this?

Also the Gamebase is missing a lot of games.
It would be nice if someone could update this Gamebase.

Hi,

i can't remember getting anything to work with Archimedes emulation at the time (2006).

just had a look at the latest emulator for you.
if you create a few working machine configs.
i should be able to script it for you.

custom configs save in here...
\Emulators\Arculator\configs\

this is what i have in the scripts folder to eject previous disks.

;Eject Previous Game Disks
Set_CFG_Value(%emupath%\arc.cfg||disc_name_0||)
Set_CFG_Value(%emupath%\arc.cfg||disc_name_1||)
Set_CFG_Value(%emupath%\arc.cfg||disc_name_2||)
Set_CFG_Value(%emupath%\arc.cfg||disc_name_3||)

If GameType CONTAINS(adf||apd)
Set_CFG_Value(%emupath%\arc.cfg||disc_name_0||%gamepathfile%)
End If
Run_Emulator()

Hi Mad,

The Gamebase has some 180 games in it .
Entries are 500+ but i need the missing games in adf format i guess.

Other formats and converting sounds like a hassle to me as far as i can see

I did find some compilation disks i still have 2 check

Riscos3 seems to work quite nice, i will check some games if it's (still)working .

If most games work it should be easy to set the latest Arculator(?) the same.....

There are most if not all Archimedes Games at the Archimedes Archive ready to download,
there are currently 742 games there plus converter apps to convert the ones that are not in ADF to ADF

The archive is at:
https://arcarc.nl/

Many Thanks

Hi Stan Stimer,

Yes we have checked that one but it's hard to convert, do you have expertise with this"?

Hi Stan,
Yes, we already have that archive, thanks.

i have spent the last couple of weeks unpacking and repacking them so they work on PC emulators.
All those archives are created on Archimedes/ RISC OS, so when they are unpacked on PC they are missing vital data in the filename extension.

They all MUST be unpacked inside the emulator RISC OS using SPARKFS to the HOSTFS.
then all the files will show the correct file type like this in the folder...

!Help,feb
!Sprites,ff9
!Airball,ff8
AirballMus,205

they can then be repacked using a PC archiver.
