Any chance of SWIV or Silkworm guys?

Having a lot of fun returning to the old classics- although I may be spending far too much time on SWOS!

And how about the PD classic Tanks? Llamatron? Total Football?

Far too many coming back now!

Swiv is already done and uploaded, . Though the latest I have uploaded crash PSP, this is because I made them using beta, cause i forgot to change back to 0.62, but they will work fine with new release.

There you go TheRealSlim_Mafoo, Silkworm Savestate

The game itself MIGHT be a bit buggy in later levels, but I dont think there is anything I can do about it, if you have any problems just give me a shout and Ill see what I can do, maybe I can find a better version. It is usually pretty smooth and is a great game to play on PSPUAE, so have fun.

Your probably better off playing the disk versions of those PD games for now, but they will get done as soon as possible. PD disk images shouldn't be too hard to find and they are not illegal from what I know(very little ). I have found llamatron in the right format so Ill be making that today or tomorrow for you.

Just ask if you can think of anymore you would like to see, it gives me a bit more motivation to get off my arse and actually do it.

Man the community seems concerned about pirated games on Amiga? WTF? It's a dead dead system for many years now, most of the companies are defunct? They should opensource all Amiga games! Amiga was once the Defacto of Computer Entertainment but Commdore Blew It! I wish like hell it would have beaten out Windoze and at the very least Apple but it didn't AMIGA RIP. I for one own all the games I actually bought on the Amiga plus abut 50 more or so and I won't ever loose any sleep! . I also don't currently own all the kickstarts but I have d/l roms IMO the only ones that deserve any $$$ are the Devs that allow us to play and live out our Retro Gaming Experience's on the Almighty Amiga.

Hell it's late and maybe I have drunk too much and ranting, oh well
Nite All.....

Hmmmm, you just said some things you shouldnt have (Drink does odd things to people, good job i dont drink, lol). Its only a dead system if you let it. Some amazine programs are still being delveloped for the Amiga, namely WHDLoad. The Amiga OS is still being developed also.

The kickstart roms are still copyrighted and sold in the form of Amiga Forever. Who are trying to keep the Amiga alive, so please buy their product if you want to relive your Amiga years on your PC (the Amiga Forever kicks are not compatable with pspuae at present).

At the end of the day, if the authors of the games / software do not want to make it open source then thats there choice.

Dont know what else to say, just please think before you type you drunket, .

skate - llamatron is on my list if you read it - i have install disk for that an Mutant Camels already


oh and most the amiga bods here know my opiniion on the matter - kickstarts should be free, just like the zx speccy. encourage emulation and save the system! it works

i understand a games companies rights to deny distribution of a game (as some have on world of spectrum.org) but i still think its a bit of cheek for 15-25 year old games.

thankfully most companies seem to have actively encouraged it on the speccy at least... perhaps one day we'll see an amiga resource doing something similar.


oh yeah, and say "no" to pirated whdload!

[skateblind]

(Drink does odd things to people, good job i dont drink, lol).

Im not a fan of the drink either, light one up instead!

At the end of the day, I reckon its all about royalties and consideration. Alot of these games are still being sold, so you cant say that they are not making any money out of it. Most of these developers support emulation and the free distribution of their old games across the internet, but its not up to them. Companies buy these franchises and start converting them across to the mobile market(phones, PSP, DS, etc).
Another World is one example, its a great success on mobile phones and still makes a decent amount of money. Dont forget that a new market has also opened up on consoles like the 360,ps3,Wii.

At the end of the day these games can still make alot of money, and alot of bad spinoffs.

Cool horace, for my reference, was the original called Llamatron 2114?

[Hungry Horace]

well Llamatron had the somewhat flippant sub-title "Llamatron: 2112"

however, it was just reference to the arcade game "Robotron 2084" which minter blatently ripped off.

"Dont know what else to say, just please think before you type you drunket??"
hmm well 
I was thinking and I am sorry my Friend Amiga is DEAD in the real world. Games that are 15-20 years old should not be copyrighted nor should the kickstarts. I don't need Whdload and I don't need you preaching to me about how they are trying to keep Amiga alive. There is a small I mean an incredibly small following for the Amiga and it's not really commerical except for a few online places.
If there is new software for Amiga that I would use then sure I would not mind paying for it, but I really only have one use for Amiga now and that is games. Games created by companies that no longer exist or have been bought and sold many times over. You and and all of the defunct developer/companies could learn from Cinemaware and make the software for a system that really only lives on in emulation open source. I am grateful for the emulation programs and I was mad as hell  when Amiga bit the dust (and not I dont consider gateway and others Amiga).
FREE AMIGA!
FREE AMIGA!

I'd like to request Pang and Rodland please.

Like I wanted to originally say,

"lets leave it"
