Ah, this is an excellent Lovecraftian adventure. More than 6 years ago I had finished a dosbox version of The Scroll for the first time. It was oozing atmosphere and I am pretty sure the puzzles were more logical than 'Shadow of the Comet', which I never managed to finish out of boredom.
-
I couldn't resist and downloaded it while at was at work. Cauldron!!! What an awesome game. I loved it at first sight. The boxcover artwork is awesome. Same for Cauldron II (which is sadly missing from the collection ). Kudos for the Last Ninja collection. Always wanted to try this.

Will download it once I get home. I admit the previous release was hard to use. Mainly because I was unfamiliar with the emulator and didn't really know how C64 worked. Also, it was messing my display everytime I switched windows. In case you release a second C64 pack, may I suggest http://www.mobygames.com/game/vera-cruz http://www.mobygames.com/game/sydney-affai I used to own them for my Amstrad 6128 but never really played them because I was young and murder mysteries confused me. I always wanted to try them again but never had the time to learn how to use another (amstrad) emulator
-
I dont think it is the same thing, because for instance if you use the .lha you need to provided the switches yourself (such as PRELOAD or BUTTONWAIT). Also, users can change the openretro's config with better setups based on their experiences. Someone could easily break it though.
-
The thing is I used a dev version and it did the autoconfig thing, But it seems the autoconfig from openretro is faulty. I did submit a comment in the game entry and I am waiting for Frode to see it.

I have no knowloedge of how whdload works. I just solved the problem by trial and error. I am using FS-UAE. I scanned my whdload dir using the appropriate settings option. Then I navigated to the 'HD' menu and I deleted the UUID version and pointed it instead to the WHDload file I originally had in my whdload dir. I documented all the above to openretro's game entry (discussion area). Hope it helps.
-
In fact, using FS-UAE and Openretro's autoconfig on Deja Vu II, will make the game crash. Can you verify this? I found a solution, by editing the autoconfig and simply deleting the UUID that is mounted on the HD0 drive and mounting the ,lha instead. This way the game loads.
-
Ah. I am sorry, but I just now realised your lists were addressed to me as a reply to my original question. I will take a look. I suppose you made them manually, after crosschecking every game right? Must have taken ages.
-
Quick question. Facts: I have the WHDload collection. I also followed this guide in order to create UUID (I am using latest dev version of FS-UAE). Question: Is there a way for me to easily dinstinguish those games that have NO UUID (If i understood correctly, this means that they also have not been autoconfigured by retrogames.com database and also are not shown in the FS-UAE launcher)
-
I am using latest dev version, and the Whdload version of said games and they show up just fine for me.
-
I have 8 gigs. When I boot windows I already got 3gigs wasted... However the problem has not happened again.
-
I am at work right now and I can't download this, but I am so curious to see what is included in this. I had never downloaded any C64 games (although there were some that I always wanted to play) mainly because I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of downloading more emulators (as if I didn't have enough already). The fact that this can be easily imported in launchbox is an added bonus!
-
I used notepad++ and mass edited all .bat files. Hopefully I didn't break anything
-
It works provided I add "..\..\..\util\setconsole.exe /minimize" - (WITHOUT rem) Thanks!
-
If it's just typing a line, can you please post how to do it here, so I can "fix" those few games I currently play
-
I just tested it. I can close the 2nd windows and the main window runs fine.
-
Ah I got it. You mean that the OTHER version runs no batch file so there is no need for a second window in the first place?
-
It's weird because I already had wizardry in my d-fend reloaded collection and when I load THAT version, there is no second window. I got the game from the http://dos.liquiddoom.net/ which is a d-fend repository package (like cydia for d-fend importable games). This mean that they are preconfigured, so I have no clue what they did exactly, but I can copy paste their setting if you'd like (or you can check them yourself)
-
Just the launchbox. It has exo's imported rpg library (MSDOS) and a whdload import collection (2000 Amiga games).
-
Quick question, I am trying to get rid of the console window but I can't. In fact I am not sure if it was supposed to be showing in the first place...
-
Do you have black bars on the sides of your screen? Mine doesn't. It gets stretched all the way and people look funny and/or fat...

How to run Blade Runner in windowed Mode. Haven't seen this discussed here, so... I love Blade Runner, but playing it full screen makes the resolution seem awful. Also, fullscreen messes up the aspect ration. What you need is to get dxwnd from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ (and perhaps read this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/). Run it and direct it to blade runner's .exe (whichever you need). You also need to rename your ddraw.dll (or simply delete). Chose window mode and I think you are set. If not read the discussion I posted above.

I got it twice. Both times I left LB running while I was at work. When I came back, it had crashed with that message. It was idle before I left, wasn't updating metadata or anything. Any pointers? I am using the latest version edit: win7 64bit.

I followed Zomb's excellent tutorial and without having a clue of what I was doing I ended up with having an epic collection of whdload games that are ready to be played. However now I have a couple of burning questions. 1. I do not have the patience to manually edit those whdload that did not get autodetected by openretro. What are my options? I suppose if i am patient enough, the database will get updated and these will be detected over time? 2. Some of the detected games are reporting that there is a new whdload version. Does it mean I need to get a new workbench with the updated whdload on it, or does it mean that I need to update the games themselves somehow? Any pointers?

Are you talking about the text that pops up once during installation? That can be easy to forget, especially if you are like me and install everything proactively only to play it months later
