What games need to be mirrored?

Post here the games or apps that need to be uploaded to a file hosting site because they're not being seeded.

AutoCAD, Appleworks and more, can be downloaded from this Mediafire link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b88e2ce4ed1308ff91b20cc0d07ba4d2499b7...

Hopefully someone uploads MYTH II, I've been looking for that for quite some time.

Huh. I thought Myth II had been done. Well, I'll see if I can find it. I know I've got it somewhere.

Yes, The MYTH II page is here but from the beginning, the download was a torrent from
"The Pirate bay" web site, and I/we could never get it (no seeders)

So, hopefully you have the time to upload that game, and if you do so,
Please, don't upload it as .dmg file

On a side note, I'd like to emphasize our craving for this game as well:
- Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim -

Thanks.

Myth II is a hybrid CD so the best format would a zipped toast image. For more information, check A Beginner's Guide for Uploading Stuff to Macintosh Garden.

I've uploaded a new copy of Majesty here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XOU5YXCI

I made a toast file out of the original CD, though it doesn't include the music which is on an audio CD part of the disk and toast didn't want to include that in the file. If anyone wants the music (it's just four tracks), I could convert it to MP3 and upload it separately. I'm not sure how you would get it to work though.

Carl, thanks for doing Majesty (even though I have the original media too). I've been trying to work out how an average user can re-combine the game track and a number of audio tracks into a full retail cd. It used to be easy in Toast 5 Titanium, but my Toast 7 Titanium doesn't seem to be able to do it.

There's nothing to stop us burning any mp3's to an audio cd (perhaps a cd-rw), then ripping that audio cd into a Toast image and burning the two images (game and audio) onto the one physcal cd. I did this many times years ago with Age of Empires. We may not even need to burn the audio cd, we may even be able to just add the mp3 files and burn.

I've made about a dozen coasters trying every possible permutation in Toast 7. I'll go back to Toast 5 when I get the chance. Does anyone use Toast 6 ?

Thanks so much Carl for the Majesty game Upload!,

As far as the CD audio, I did the same for Carmageddon 1, which I just wanted a back up of my CD,
and since I had done back up copies of my Playstation 2 games before, I just did the same for everything else,
Carmageddon has the whole game in the first track and from the 2nd track has the Audio tracks (7) so you can also play it on a regular home stereo

http://macintoshgarden.org/games/carmageddon-1-full-cd

- I made an .ISO image (within Windows XP) using Alcohol 120%
- compressed and Split it using WinRar (for easy upload/download)

That's All,

The .ISO burns as an Exact Clone of the original CD with the Audio tracks.

hope that helps.

now, excuse me while I download Majestic. Smile

These games need to be re-uploaded as zip files. Right now they're in rar format and that's a big no for Mac OS 7-9.

Sorry MacWise but I won't re-upload them again, It takes too much time,
they upload at an average of 8kbps- 15kbps from my connection.

and they are intended to be uncompressed within Windows and you'll get the .TOAST Mac ready image, ready to be burned within Windows(as .NRG) or Mac (as .toast)
(I don't have a real Mac)
I'm sure most people has an extra windows PC where the can uncompress them,
the files burn fine, because I test them. and I made my back up copies this way.

so hopefully someone has the time to re-upload them.

Don't worry, Euryale, I was thinking of somebody else doing it all along. Otherwise, I would have addressed you directly.

I have a Windows XP laptop. I could do it. The problem is I'm not interested in those games, so I don't feel like downloading all that stuff just to rejoin it, zip it, upload it somewhere and then delete it from my machine.

Hopefully somebody who already downloaded one of those games and transferred the CD image to his or her Mac might be willing to do it. Hopefully.

But since you brought it up, I say you should try to avoid using rar in the future because the Mac had never supported it well and this is a Mac-centric site after all.

I've updated Unreal with a new download link. The game works fine for me in classic mode, though there are some minor graphical issues.

Thanks Carl,
I appreciate your time re- uploading Unreal,
for some reason, my Uploads to Megaupload are painfully slow
(besides, it slows down my normal browsing)

Next time I'll use WinZip

I have a mirror of an old version of this site (great that it's back BTW!) at garden dot nickshanks.com. Please do not post direct links to it elsewhere, as I don't have much upload bandwidth, but it might be useful for torrents with no seeds. The only thing I can guarantee is that I haven't tried to unarchive/play most of the files!

These games don't need to be mirrored, but they need to be converted from Mac OS X zips to DiskDup+ images.

Thanks MacWise, I've converted them into Disk Copy 6.3 img.sit files stuffed with Stuffit 4.0

4x4 Evolution

...I'm still going to list them here just in case.

I have a stack of games, far too big for this site:

Summoner
Silver
Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time
Starship Titanic
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time
Morpheus
The Crystal Key
Stupid Invaders
Afterlife
Shivers

I should load them up to megaupload over the next month or so. Are there any requests ? Choose carefully, most are multi-cd, some nearly 3GB.
In a month I'm off round the world for some time so no more uploads.

I'd like Starship Titanic (I'm a Douglas Adams fan.)

And WipeOut 2097. You don't know what you're missing.

I'd love to play Summoner or Silver (or both, naturally). Also +1 for Pod Racer - used to play it all the time. I don't have it anymore though, so I can't upload it.

I will upload Elite Force to megaupload momentarily, I got it before the torrent died.

Bertyboy, I long ago gave up choosing whether to upload something or not. Even if I think it's a piece of crap, invariably there's at least one person who worships it. So I just upload everything I have that's abandonware and leave it to others to decide. Only thing ever holds me up is time or space constraints. I've pretty much uploaded everything I've got at this point, unless I dig up interesting nuggets from old MacAddict discs or on the web, or if awesome benefactors send me their crap to scan and upload for them.

Thanks Carl, for Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.
Was often temporarily unavailable, but works now.

Hopefully Elite Force 2 could be posted as well?
