Installer V44.10
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:05:39 PM »
It's been a while since I used my Amiga and I'm slowly getting back into it. I'm messing around with WHDload, but in the install scripts for some of the games, I am being asked for Installer V44.10, and an Aminet reference where it can be found (directory only).
However when I search the directory I can't find it. Also when I search in Aminet I can't find it, and I haven't come right in Google either.
Is there a problem getting it? Does anyone know where I can get it? At the moment I have installer V43 running under W3.1 (A4000T)
Appreciate the help: I can't wait to get back into some of the old games and I'm trying to keep my A500 boxed.

Aaaahhhh!!
Okay now I have to ask, considering I will not be trying to modernise my A4000T, is it worth me getting OS3.5 or 3.9? I'm happy with the system as it is (although I could do with a Picasso IV)
I'd hate to have to get a new OS just for an updated installer. What are my options here?

@ Captain

OS 3.9: I'm just not sure what benefits it will give me. Isn't 3.9 just a collection of patches and updates whose equivalents can be found individually on Aminet? I mean like NSDPatch for example. (Of course it is ironic that I can't get installer V44.10 on Aminet), but honestly what real benefits can 3.9 give me besides that? I don't use the Amiga online, I don't need any other peripherals, and all I really want in terms of hardware is a graphics card. So why should I get 3.9? Give me some good reasons please...

@ Capt

Thanks for the link, I'll try that...
As for OS3.9, I am not convinced I'll get any benefit, based on how I use this Amiga. I wonder if there is anyone else here who already has most of the patches/tools/ that they can install under 3.1, and doesn't think 3.9 is good value.

@ Capt

Thanks!! The installer in that archive seems to work, although I have not had much success with WHDload yet. But at least I can get the game installed on hard-drive up to the point where it asks for the patch parameter. I'm trying to find game patch parametrs (I have only the three examples that came with Patcher). And I'm really thick because I haven't used this Amiga for quite a while.
Thanks for your help, mate.

Thanks, Wibbly...

I got the right installer version from CaptainHIT's link above. Trouble is I don't know diddly about WHDLoad, and although I've installed it, I don't know how to get the actual patch configurations for each game.
My 4000 isn't here right now, but when I get it back I'll be asking you guys for pointers. I've been out of the Amiga for a while you see...

@ Kronos:

Yes, that has been my concern exactly. I just wouldn't feel like I was getting a good deal with 3.9. And I suspect that nobody who has 3.9 is likely to admit that it is not good value for money.
Of course I could be completely wrong too :-P

Thanks Wibbly

My mobo comes back soon, and then I'll test things a bit better but I may have to get your advice because I don't know much about WHDLoad.
