RacingFreak wrote: 07 Jul 2020, 02:54 Hi guys so I wanted to ask about these 2 games, they were never released officially in English but of course the RE fandom did the job, they're called Biohazard 2 (Sourcenext) and Biohazard 3: Last Escape (Sourcenext), does anybody know where I can get them? or a link to them?
Hello, how are you? :good:

Here it is: Use these releases with the Classic REbirth patch (this patch is mandatory): :rtfm: Important note: And don't forget to read the Classic REbirth installation manual! Because each game requires a different installation, and all games will be portable versions after their respective "installations." ;)

:buba: And one more thing: If possible... Support the patch developer. He is doing an excellent job for the community! :victory:

Enjoy my friend! :yahoo:

Hi guys,

I am trying to find a particular release of the old RTS game

Earth 2150: Escape from the Blue Planet

which I used to have on one of my storage DVDs that went bad. The release is on 1 CD only (normally the game comes in 2CDs), in this format:

EARTH2150CD_ENG_.mds DONE
EARTH2150CD_ENG_.mdf DONE

and currently is only available on some Polish paid download site, which is no go for me.

Does anyone happen to have this thingy? If yes, can you please help a guy out?

Greets and salutations!

Thank you, woodruff and romev, for your responses.

The link that was provided by romev gave me exactly what I was looking for. Great help!

Best to all!


PS. I was also wondering if someone has ISOs or other image formats of the Mission Pack 1 and Mission Pack 2 from Earth 2140 - the English version...

You're welcome.

I've seen German and Polish releases listed of the mission packs, no English or I've missed some site mentioning it.

EARTH 2140 MISSION PACK 1 *GERMAN* STAND-ALONE (C) TOPWARE: https://demozoo.org/productions/203898/ , a cracktro for mission pack 1 by DYNASTY, a group that often did German games. Again hinting there's no English release (far as I can find that is). Here's the NFO:
► Show Spoiler

Both mission packs are in TDC:
http://www.totaldoscollection.org/nugnu ... 98Have.txt:
Earth 2140- Mission Pack 1 v1.29 (Installer) (De) (1998)(TopWare Interactive) [Strategy].zip
Earth 2140 - Mission Pack 2 - The Final Conflict (1998)(TopWare Interactive) [CCD] +=[GERMAN]ccd


However, on the current uploaded TDC#18 these are not present.

I've seen in the index of TDC#19 , a RW/pleasuredome exclusive torrent, one is listed to be included (I can not verify this myself) Here's the source of that info: http://www.totaldoscollection.org/nugnugnug/master.zip), this has these entries regarding the game:
Earth 2140- Mission Pack 1 v1.29 (Installer) (De) (1998)(TopWare Interactive) [Strategy].zip
Earth 2140 v1.24 (Installer) (De) (1997)(TopWare Interactive) [Strategy].zip
Earth 2140 v1.32 (1997)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip


About the first mission pack, there also is this note (http://www.totaldoscollection.org/nugnu ... 5_1999.txt):
* Earth 2140- Mission Pack 1 v1.29 (Installer) (De) (1998)(TopWare Interactive) [Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of the ccd image of the same name. This is a complete game and doesn't require the original E2140 to be available. This makes sense as the DYNASTY release wasn't requiring the main game as well.

It almost seems that the version indicates if the expansions are present, v1.32 could be mission pack 2 perhaps ?

I wasn't able to get any original image so far, if you find some, please share them!

Wow! You, sir, are a true believer - my hat's off to you!

I happen to have some Polish ISO file of Earth 2140 which claims to install a Gold Pack - whatever that may mean. Here is what the Readme.txt in this image says:


---=== EARTH 2140 ===---

Najnowsze informacje jak i Tips & Tricks znajdziecie na naszej stronie internetowej: http://www.topware.com

--- URUCHOMIENIE EARTH 2140 NA PC Z DWOMA CZYTNIKAMI CD-ROM ---

Jeœli posiadacie dwa czytniki CD-ROM, to do instalacji jak i póŸniejszej gry
proszê u¿ywaæ zawsze pierwszego czytnika. Dodatkowo EATRH 2140 u¿ywa
zasadniczo pierwszego czytnika do odtwarzania muzyki.

--- EARTH 2140 I KARTY GRAFICZNE Z UK£ADEM S3 V + ---

Na kartach graficznych, które u¿ywaj¹ procesora Trio64 V z S3, pojawiaj¹ siê
problemy z grafik¹. Na niektórych kartach nie pojawia siê ¿adna grafika.
By graæ w EARTH 2140 proszê u¿yæ sterowników VESA/VBE
(np. UniVBE firmy SciTech). Wiêcej informacji mo¿na znaleŸæ w podrêczniku
do gry w rozdziale mówi¹cym o problemach.
UWAGA! Rozwi¹zaniem powy¿szego problemu mo¿e byæ uruchomienie gry z opcj¹ VIDEO
np.
game.exe x640 VIDEO
aby uruchomiæ instalacjê gry w menu Uruchom na pasku narzêdzi wpisujemy:
x:\install.exe VIDEO
gdzie x: jest liter¹ oznaczaj¹c¹ napêd CD-ROM np.
d:\install.exe VIDEO
Je¿eli jesteœmy w trybie DOS to nale¿y zmieniæ dysk na CD-ROM
komend¹ x: (np. "d:")
a nastêpnie wpisaæ :
install.exe VIDEO

--- U¯YCIE W£ASNEJ MUZYKI ---

Jeœli ktoœ chcia³by w czasie gry zamiast muzyki znajduj¹cej siê na kr¹¿ku
z Earth'em 2140 s³uchaæ w³asnej p³yty, to trzeba w czasie rozgrywki
wy³¹czyæ opcjê "Muzyka" na panelu sterowania i umieœciæ w napêdzie
w³asn¹ p³ytê. W momencie ukoñczenia misji, jeœli to konieczne EARTH 2140
za¿¹da umieszczenia kr¹¿ka z gr¹ w napêdzie. W³asnej muzyki nale¿y u¿ywaæ
jedynie przy pe³nej instalacji.

Jeœli uruchamiacie grê z pod Windows 95, trzeba najpierw z kr¹¿ka
EARTH 2140 uruchomiæ program WININST.EXE a nastêpnie wybraæ opcjê
"Nie pokazywaæ tego okna wiêcej". Dziêki temu unikniecie uruchomienia
opcji AutoStart u¿ywanej przez Windows 95.

--- KOMBINACJA KLAWISZY SHIFT & KURSORA ---

Podana w podrêczniku kombinacja klawiszy Shift i klawisze kursora nie zosta³a
w grze zaimplementowana ze wzglêdu na pewne k³opoty techniczne zwi¹zane
z graniem pod Windows 95

--- GRA SIECIOWA ---

W wypadku gry sieciowej serwer, do którego pod³¹czaæ siê bêd¹ pozostali
gracze musi posiadaæ co najmniej 24 MB Ram.

--- K£OPOTY Z PAMIÊCI¥ ---

W wypadku problemów zwi¹zanych z niewystarczaj¹c¹ iloœci¹ wolnej pamiêci,
nale¿y uruchomiæ grê z "czystego systemu"


It is purely DOS/Windows 95 thingy, no go under Windows 10.

Hey,

Does anybody remember the first VCD downloaded ?
For me, it was the Star Wars The Phantom Menace.
Was there ever a scene release ? You know that one with a Z in upper left
I can't find it on srrdb / xrel /nfohump :(
Thanks

I've checked for releases of this title in: https://archive.org/details/warez-releases-catalog-twc

an archive with over 11 million of warez releases but didn't find a logical match, however, a 'z' in the left corner ? If I recall correctly, that's a p2p (kazaa) release back then right ? If so, the eDonkey network may still have this VCD.

Thanks for looking romev.
I'm pretty sure I did not download it on p2p in 1999 ;) Napster only appeared in June that year and was the first one if I recall.

By the way, a great read remembering that time ;)

Those public db-s suck hard when it comes to older releases, most of them missing. Release was most probably Star.Wars.Episode.1.The.Phantom.Menace.REAL.TELESYNC-EViLISO

kkkkk wrote: 22 Feb 2019, 19:16 That's what I do too. Whether you should left these blank lines as they are or get rid of them - it's up to you.
I'm bit late to the party, but regarding double blank lines in problematic .NFOs:

If you turn on invisible characters in Notepad++, you'll see that new lines are CR CR LF which is obviously the result of improper EOL conversion between Linux and Mac or WIndows and Mac.
However, Notepad++ can easily handle this, just do Replace, check Search mode: Extended and replace \r\r\n with \r\n. This will replace CR CR LF with CR LF.

However the nfo you posted is for Star.Wars.Episode.1.TS-VCD.Europe. I actually have the .mpg files still, but didn't keep the rars unfortunately. I was young and poor, so i burnt the movies ready to watch instead of spending more $$$ on blanks to archive the release.
