Salut
Merci pour ce super boulot sur ma machine de coeur.


petite question : Quand je scanne, il me manque 21 jeux et 192 Extras. Normal (problèmes de droits ?) ? ou j'ai fait une fausse manip?


merci encore.

++

J'espère que ça te plaira :)
Pour ce qui est des fichiers manquants, ce sont effectivement des logiciels toujours commercialisés pour lesquels je n'ai pas eu l'autorisation de leur distributeur (en particulier Poly.Play, Cronosoft, Psytronik and a few others).
Si vous avez des contacts avec ces distributeurs et pouvez me mettre en contact avec eux, n'hésitez pas à me le faire savoir.

Nice, that was fast :)
I archived the executable in gamebase-setup-v1.3-full.zip. 
Download that file instead. It worked for me...I'll see with Kukulcan if he can fix the problem with the exe.

Cheers, got it! :)

Everything extracted fine here...

Everything was OK at my end as well, using PowerArchiver 2019. Here are the checksums I got when I ran sha256sum:

Hi Nich,
Glad to have you on board :)I hope you enjoy GBCPC!

Johnny Olsen

For some reason, it was impossible to download working files with firefox and windows 7,
so I tried windows 10 with Internet Explorer and now it works.
Thanks to Nich and Gryzor for verifying that the files work and thanks for a great database Loïc.

Nice.

Can't download with FF/Win 10 now...

ldaneels

I tried downloading with FF & it's working fine for me. 
It might be that the site is overloaded, so try again a little later. 
Also, please make sure you download only one file at a time.
Hi Johnny, long time no talk. Any news on your Gamebase project?

Johnny Olsen

Yes about 1000, but it is time consuming to debug basic programs
and I only work with it when I want.

If you want aid, here we are :)

Johnny Olsen

I appreciate that.

Problems with the gamebase project are that only one can work on it,
but if you have games or scans of magazines
not online, it will be perfect.

I am looking for games from the following magazines:

Computer Gamer (UK) - https://archive.org/details/computergamermagazine

Computronic (G) - https://archive.org/details/computronic_magazine

HC Mein Home Computer (G) - http://oldcomputers-ddns.org/public/pub/archiv/hc-meinhome-computer-archiv/index.html

Homecomputer Hefte (G) - http://tronic-verlag.50webs.com/

Thanks everybody for hosting a torrent, much appreciated :)
As a sidenote, I am currently working really hard to get CPCEPower into GBCPC & am linking all the original dumps (RAW & IPF) into the database. This is obviously going to be a long term endeavour, but it should make GBCPC much better.
There are two advantages to doing that: I am verifying every single entry (links, data,...) & the emulator is much more accurate, so no juggling multiple emulators as it is the case now. The only exception are the CPC+/GX4000 games which will still need to go through Winape.
Also, a quick tip: you can add extra columns in the database view (CTRL+H) so you can sort the software whichever way you like. Personally, I like Publisher, Year Published, Genre, Rating & Works in CPCE.
Enjoy!

Gryzor

Hi Johnny,
Wow! That's a lot of work.
Are you planning on making your work public at some time?
Thanks for all your hard work,

Loic

Haven't tried it yet, but a friend sent me a list of the contents:

13GB for manuals??! I mean, this must have entailed a tremendous amount of work (and a couple of samples I saw were of really nice quality)!




ldaneels

Lol :) Yeah, it sure did... I don't really want to think about how many hours that represents, though.
Just for fun (& because I'm kind of a maniac), I also re-scanned most of everything, so the work you see has been duplicated for the most part. There is a very significant difference between scans made prior to 03/2013 & those made after (new scanner + much higher DPi).
I've been working on GBCPC for over 15 years & I intend to keep plugging at it for the foreseeable future. I also have many ideas on how to expand GBCPC in the future, but it's a long term thing.
The only issue I am facing now is the difficulty to source originals, but well, it is what it is...Cheers,
Loic

Gryzor

So... I was wondering, you really have all these titles?

ldaneels

Well, I had them at some point or another. I also had help from some collectors who lent me their originals (mostly Philippe Hernandez & Antoine Rozanski, but others have also helped in smaller ways - David Noble, Steve Jarrett, Christophe Creance...), but I'd estimate over 90% were owned by me at some point or another.
I did collect CPC software up until 2011, but real life got the best of me & now I have to sell back what I get for GBCPC to purchase new software.

Gryzor

Still that must be/was a pretty impressive collection...

By the way, can we donate to the project?

ldaneels

That depends on what you mean by donating. If you mean games, I would love that. I'm always looking for people who can lend me original software. If you mean money, I'd rather avoid that for various reasons.

Gryzor

I trimmed my collection a few years back, so I'm not sure I have anything you might have missed (highly unlikely!), but I could send you a list of the titles I have to see if something piques your interest...
