Well... having a simple tool for it would still be l33t though. You load a list of disk images into a simple converter utility, and enter a description for the content of every file using the GUI. The application reads file after file from your FS, calculates the CRC32 checksum, gets...

Of course you are right about the checksums. I'm a coder too, so I should've known it better. I was a little confused. :) Check my last post... I edited it before I read your answer. So the TOSEC DB might be the thing we are looking for. It's nearly complete, it has an elaborated naming...

I think the datfile is a very good idea. But I'm somewhat confused anyway... why stick to the md5 hashes at all, when the files have to be named specifically? If they'd have another name, they'd also have another md5 hash, so we could use the filename in the first place, right? :huh: But I...

You're most probably right, Arutha! ;) *doh* But this wouldn't provide a solution for the 8.3 limitation problem, which is the most annoying thing in my eyes. What's the point with zip file implementation? Just saving space or is there another advantage? Another question... If you have 8.3...

skeezix, you are just amazing! You are a hero! You are superhuman! If there would exist a pinup poster of you, I'd hang it up my bedroom wall! Well, on the other hand, let's not take this over the top! :D

@rcx21000 Hmm... Similar idea, just with renaming the files on-the-fly instead of referencing them with an additional game library, if I got it right...? Wouldn't this make it necessary to match all the files with the (immense) disk image database on every startup? I'd imagine this being very...

You have already thought-out the problem more than I did. Basically a DB with md5 hashes would be a nice idea, but I doubt that people will pass on savegames for a more elaborated naming system... It sounds highly sophisticated to make, and I doubt that it's even possible (I have no idea...

I tested castaway yesterday, which is excellent, as I already said. But although you can't display more than 12 or so disk images in it's menu in this beta, I've already had problems today to remember which game is on which disk. If you download FOF or Automation menus for example, it's a...

Seems like the GP32 would bring some of the long-neglected quarrels between Atari ST and Amiga users back to live. :D I already see the discussions coming, if Cannon Fodder for ST kicked the butt of the Amiga version, or if it was complete crap because of page flipping and stuff...

@Axeman If you're interested in computers, as most of us obviously are, basic knowledge of English is a must, I think. In Switzerland, just a year or two ago, they started to teach preliminary English already in kindergarten. If I'd live in the US, probably I wouldn't care too much about...

I couldn't resist. After I read about the ST release at work, I just had to buy another 128MB SMC on my way home. It's number four... *sigh* :rolleyes:

I experienced another problem. After playing my first round of bubble bobble in joystick mode, mouse mode wasn't running anymore. I tried to load different images but the mouse cursor still didn't want to move. I had to restart the GP32 to fix this. I'm sure that this is a minor problem...

I'm Swiss.... Swiss German. So hello neighbours! :)

Which one? I have 3 of them. I ordered one with my GP32 at gbax, the other two I bought at local stores.

That's what I did too. :) 6 month after buying a GBA, I just gave it away to my niece and nephew. They were playing Mario and Yoshi on it the whole easter holidays, so I decided that they have more use for it than I have. First I wanted to sell it though and make some bucks for additional...

I think that this is no question for a majority of people on this board. Quite a few of us would even pay for inofficial development, if it would help some guy to get an emu done. But if you look at the whole scene... how many GP32s are sold to date? 15'000? Nonetheless there were already some...

You are right, Flack. But on the other side, you know people. If you enforce the usage of such a tool, you will enforce software piracy as well, thus aggravating the danger of Gamepark to go broke. I mean, if most of the commercial software for the GP32 is available for free download on pirate...

You can buy Swiss Cheese in Australia? :blink:

Sorry, this is OT. :) I just came to read your signature, Swiss_Cheeseman... So you aren't Swiss after all, but Australian? It's just, since I always thought that I gotta be, like, the only Swiss guy with a GP32, I was somewhat disaffected when I first saw you on this board. :) Why do you...

I'm sorry. Seems that I've missed a post...
