Boing, Polyscope, etc. Demos as ADF files?

[dentaku]

I searched google without success, but are there ADF versions of those Demos like Boing!, Polyscope, Juggler, Robo-City, etc.?

Hi,

You need to Google harder!  :-)

The Juggler ADF at least is available here (click the disk icon rather than the LHA link).

With most of these old demos, it's easy enough to make a bootable ADF image if you've got the files separately or as an LHA archive:
1. Format a blank disk as OFS
2. Make it bootable ("install df0:" from the CLI)
3. Extract (if required) and copy the demo file(s) to the disk
4. Create an "S" directory on the disk
5. Create a "startup-sequence" file in the "S" directory that contains "sys:" where "" is the filename that starts the demo running

Then boot from the disk. Sometimes, some demos require libraries, etc, from a Workbench disk. In this case, make a note of that the demo says if it fails to start and copy the required files over to your bootable disk. Libraries need to go into a "Libs" directory and commands need to go into a "C" directory.

The disk link of your juggler page doesn't work:

"The page you are looking for was not found."

Concerning your description: I don't have an AMiga anymore - I use UAE (Linux) and therefore can't access the .lha files on my Linux partition.  :-(


This is the 3rd night I google for Boing ADF but I just find boing.lha files ...   :boohoo:

What do you mean, of course you can use LHA files under any platform!! You can mount a directory as a harddrive under UAE and access the files from within the emulator.
