Software / Re: Downloading 8BitChip (Petari) games
« Last post by kovacm on 20-09-2018, 20:07:15 »
My aim is not to test them all but rather, when I have time, to find and play game that I love when I was teen :)
It is simple more convenient for me to fire up Falcon and choose one among 1000 games.

---
It would be awesome if we could build 'network system' that would "push" new software (games and apps) to everyone ST. Like some global catalogue with all comments, forms with check/unchecks fields, test... I would like to avoid using Windows/Mac/Linux for putting Atari software on Atari.

btw
biggest spammers on my site are Google bots (and others!). They made fake "downloads" so my counters now show more then 100 downloads of each app, they make fake edits of programs descriptions...

As said, really not possible to test many SW in short time. You can DL/copy/depack 1000 games in short time , and then will need months, better years to test it thoroughly. Even just checking if it starts may need some 3-5 minutes per game, what is really not too good idea - should let it run for more . I think that nobody sane can do it more than 50x in 1 day. And we don't have space on server to post 1-2 GB  file. What should be updated regularly - what means updating whole one every week or like.
"Actively all time" - maybe I'm just in period of photo finish now  ;D

I was thinking about some interactive forms where people can  check/uncheck some fields according to experiences, tests, write some comments, but now I think that it will not work. Made some User comments form at Atari Game Archive, for every page/game, and was forced to disable it, because couple spammers. It could be improved with different protections, but doubt that would be worth of time - for rare constructive comments. Not surprised at all that nobody uses your 'notes' .  People just want everything ASAP. And disks have place for all it. Just no time to play, watch, use ... So, why we expect feedback at all  ;D

First step in testing your games on my Falcon is to transfer them from your site to my Falcon, right? :)
So I am searching easiest way to do this.

I will send you emails as I test games. I prefer to test yours "game fixes" because you actively doing them all the time!

Unfortunate I do not have TT anymore.

btw
on my site with Atari programs I made "Notice" field that can be used by others to describe if program work or do not work on their configuration (and for other notes...). But so far nobody use this "Notes"... :( e.g. http://milan.kovac.cc/atari/software/?folder=/DTP and right of monitor you can click on "Notes" to add new one.

It is easy for me to download 1000 games, take out CF card from Falcon, put it in Mac and transfer 1000 games and return CF card to Falcon.
It is better than take out CF card from Falcon for every e.g. 100 games...

And here we can see where the real problem is: people care only how to get easy big number of 'goodies' with minimal effort. I needed to add special page about need for feedback, more testing. That helped just little. I getting now about 2-3 e-mail per month with it. What is great, but far from enough.  Look other thread here, where I asked for testing on TT

We really should care more about quality instead quantity.

Why to make easy when it can be complicated ;) just jooking :)

I use wget and got copy from Petari web server.

I also thinking how to distribute Atari software from my own web site to others... it would by cool if Atari could have some sort of APT :)
as I read, CosmosEx can download ST floppy images directly from some web site... that is cool but it would be more cool to be able to choose “repositorium”, like this Petari one...

I really don't see why should someone DL lot of games at once.  DL those who plan to test, play in next days. Surely will be not able to even start for short more than 100 in one day.
And there happen updates often, so you may miss them if DL all at once.

Hi,
I finaly have time to test games on my Falcon030 but I am not sure how to download 1179 games!
To download one game I need around 8 second but it is very tedious work.

Is it possible to download them in bundle, or should I try wget? :)

Br!

It would be good if people who own Atari TT could test latest releases, and give some feedback - like posting here about success or problems.
