Need help installing Gunship.
« on: April 22, 2019, 12:08:18 AM »
Hi all:
I use an amiga 2000 (68000).
i just installed Pirates in the HD, and everything works.
I do not know if I got this right, but it seems when I installed Pirates
a new folder in the HD was created called' clip art temporary'.
i do not mind this (I know I should check it with Dopus-but is possible
the folder was there before, I just do not remember) but I am afraid
If I install gunship (original disk) into the HD, it might create an extra folder
called 'temp something' and mess up the settings of pirates. Pirates has
its own folder, and Gunship probably too, so the extra folder with a different name
might not have any consequence on ruining the games.
but as I am not good at this, I would like to ask for help.
Would it be possible to install 'gunship' in the HD, when Pirates is already installed,
without worrying something bad will happen ?
Thank you !!!

Hi:
I have good news. I checked both 'gunship' and 'clip art temp' folders, and the clip art temp folder was created
many years ago, so I am very sure now it has nothing to do with the 'pirates' folder.
I also checked the 'clip art temp' folder with DOPUS, and the folder only contains a single file called 'lhex'
that occupies a few Kbytes. I am almost sure this file is not useful at all, and it will not cause the Gunship
installation to fail. I am very sure now that I can install Gunship in the HD without any problems.
Thank you all for helping me .

Something funny happened. I was going to install Gunship today,
and found out the Gunship disk has not the option to install to HD,
it can only be played from disk. The game works and I can play it, but it has
to be loaded from disk. I really wanted to install it, but this is fine.
At least, i save extra space on the HD, and don't have to worry about the
installation failing. I know, i know, if I had WHDload I can install the game in the HD.
But this is OK, I am content to load the game off the original disk.
Thank you all !!!
