Holmes CD

[Bill Lange]

Ken H. sent me the three Holmes cds earlier this week. I put about 4000 games up on my webserver. I'll try to get the rest of the software up real soon.

Let me know if there are any problems except for the fact that the games are listed in reverse alphabetical order. :-)

Dude all I can say is WOW !!!

 

I found games on your webserver that I couldn't find on Vjetnam website.

YOU ROCK

Holmes was kind enough to send me his CD collection prior to stopping his 8bit site. It is a great collection!

[Heaven/TQA]

thanks! possible to zip all files into one download file or even better cd images ready to burn? i mean it's great to have them separatly for spicing up own collections but i would prefer to leech them all-in-one... (am i right TMR? ;=))

I would also like to see one big download for all of them. I have already downloaded 2000+ one-by-one from vjetnam and would like to just copy a full set over those and insert any that are missing.

 

Very nice collection

hahahaha... "welcome to whomper stomper..."

I still have the original CDs that I sent him. If you guys want a copy of them, I can make them for you either as 3 CDs or 1 DVD.

 

You would just need to send the 3 blank CDs or 1 blank DVD and a return mailer.

 

PM if you want to get a copy.

My webserver is running from my home on a Qwest DSL line. So as you can see, I have a small pipe. If I zip them all up and you guys pound my connection, there will be no bandwidth left for me! :-)

 

I'll try to zip them up when I get a chance and see what the effect is on my bandwidth.

Greatest would be to create ISO's of all 3 CD's and find someone who'd be willing to host them.

or put them in bittorrent or another p2p network.

[Bill Lange]

Sorry guys. The zip files for all the 8-bit software is just too large for me to put on my webserver.

 

Right now there are a little over 4000 games up on my server and I will be adding a few more thousand programs over the weekend.

 

The zip file would be in the hundreds of megs.

 

Ken Heffington has said he would make cd/dvd if you want them.

Hi there!

 

I can very well understand that you're not able/willing to host them since it would probably choke your bandwidth in no time because of all the people who'd want to download the ISO's.

 

Don't you think someone else would be able to host the ISO's though? Reason I'm asking is that I think that there are a lot of people who'd like the complete sets of Holmes' CD's.

 

I'm not going to keep nagging about this though since I, like I said before, fully understand why you can't host those big files and you're already making a great contribution by putting all those games up for download!! I love your site!!

 

Cheers!

I wrote a little program that automatically loads all of the 8-bit Atari software on my webserver into an emulator and then takes a screen shot. Its funny to watch the screens come up of stuff I have never seen before. The program needs a little tweeking to handle BASIC games. The screen shots are saved as .pcx and then I use Paint Shop to batch convert them to .png

 

Here are some of the shots.

[Bunsen]

I think TXG of MNX crew could host the ISOs.

 

ftp://atari.xs4all.nl

 

password: atari4ever , I think

[LYNXGUY]

I wish that I could find a working "Chicken" and "Zombies" games.

I downloaded them from 2 or 3 sites and they don't work, Do I need paddles for "Chicken" ??

[HolmesA8]

Great to see these CD's are still doing the rounds. And thanks to everyone that hosts them for the general public. Much appreciated.

Hey Holmes! Glad to see you're still kickin - Hope you still have my Salmon Run review for the 800

[HolmesA8]

Yep, pretty sure I still have all the reviews...be on my backup CD's somewhere!! :-)

Zombies is for atari 800 you must change the type of hardware

in the emulator you're using.

I am using Xformer 2000 for Windows v.8 and Zombies and Chicken are the only 2 games that don't work so far

Use a different emulator - XFormer 2K aint that good.

Yes and I believe someone already told to use atari800win plus

is a much better emulator and there you can choose diffenrent

type of hardware.

 

I have played those two games in that emu.
