Lemmings Amiga Hard Drive Install Disks or Files
« on: April 18, 2016, 12:26:27 PM »
I wonder if you can help, Over on Lemmings Universe (assumed abandoned?) they seem to have had a file or ADF disk that would allow Amiga HD install of Lemmings. I know that we have WHDLoad now, but I was just interested to see if anyone has these disks or files? They are no longer available on that site.

The link is http://www.lemmingsuniverse.net/downloads.html#tech

Thanks in advance.

I have these .ipf files, I also have some .adf files if these don't work.

Very many thanks Gronkling, I will try them and let you know :)

Edit: I appreciate your help but these are simply the game files, not a means of installing the game to the hard drive.

I can't find any proof about existence of these installers. However, it is possible to play CDTV and CD32 versions from the hard disk.

Really? Ah, I was not aware of that thanks. Do I just copy the files from the CD to the Amiga HD?

I don't know how much help you need. I don't want to bother you with a trivial things, but a few Assigns are needed.
Assuming all is copied in the LemmingsCD32/ directory on the dh0: disk (and assuming directories are named the same as in my copy of the game) you can make a batch file with the following content:

assign LemSamples: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemSamples
assign LemMusic: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemMusic
assign LemGraphics: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemGraphics
assign LemLevels: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemLevels
assign LemMisc1: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemMisc1
assign LemMisc2: dh0:LemmingsCD32/LemMisc2
Lemmings

If you need any further help I will look closely to be sure how exactly this can be done, because I have become little 'rusty' in these Amiga 'things'.

I must correct myself. I was able to find these installers.
Here they are in the attachments.

Here is one more version of the Lemmings HD installer in the attachment. This version is chronologically between two version previously uploaded. Just in case.
I don't see much people are interested in this here, but let me, anyway, report about my experience with these installations.
I was successful in installing 'Lemmings' and 'ONMLemmings' on the hard disk. It's not just a trick with images of the floppy disks on the HD. Files are really extracted from the disks.
It's "sort of working". Games to easily freezes. I wasn't able to finish Fun/Tame rating without lock up (I've tried several times). As I was done all this (installation and playing) on the PC with WinUAE, I can't say it's not just emulator's fault, but somehow, I have a feeling these HD installs are far from perfect.

Thanks for that once again Leo, maybe I'd better just stick to WHDLoad then, but good to get your feedback. Very helpful.
