single adf's, why is it done this way?

Postby hannelius » Thu Oct 23, 2014 6:30 pm

just wondering...

like if they are all the same,
and there's ten images for one game
could they all be put in one zip
to make it easier?

i understand the codes and what they mean
but if they were all the same for one game
like they all said [cr SKR]
could they all be put in one zip?

i've been thinking of doing that myself
for the ones i have downloaded
to keep better track of
so i don't have so many files...

there must be a reason for this
why they're all individual
for download
cause i see it everywhere
for amiga and other ones too

just wondering...

The problem is Amiga emulators need to load single files otherwise it won't work and especially if you need to switch a disk for a game or whatnot, so its best to leave them as single files...

thanks...
so i keep them single to play them
and i can put them in zips to store them...

i can see that another reason
they're offered single for download
is there's so many to choose from
different hacks and stuff...

what i'm wondering is
if there's a set
why not put them all in one zip
and take them out to play them?
