CoinOPS Amiga CD Compilations Pack 1 and 2

A quick and dirty way to get large number of amiga games working was to use some of the amazing compilations made for the CD32.

CoinOPS MegaCD and PC-Engine CD update packs

Going through the game list I found a number of games for the two above systems that were not on the list.  A few months of work and I had produced update packs with the games I was able to get working for each of those interesting consoles:

CoinOPS 6 R10 C64 Pack

Some recent homebrew and a few very obscure 80s/90s titles.

CoinOPS 6 R10 SMSPOWER pack

CoinOPS 6 R10 - Atari 8-Bit Update Pack

The AXL_ games added to CO6 R10.

Exploring CoinOPS 6

Browsing through my installation after upgrading to CoinOPS 6 a few months ago. Development of new packs is going much faster now I don't have to deal with public distribution - I've added another 1000+ games since making this video.

CoinOPS PC-Engine CD Pack 1

This pack took me more than three months to create.  Three months of teeth grinding, hair pulling frustration!  The biggest issue was the cd-audio going quickly out of sync.  I ended up watching the intro to double dragon many times trying with different ways of processing the game image files.  Even with the solution I ended up with the sound can easily drift out of sync but to a much lesser extent than the worst examples.

Still the effort was almost worth it, this is a very obscure system with some interesting games.

CoinOPS Amstrad CPC configuration options

To help games to launch with one click it is often necessary to tell the emulator in advance which file to load.  Occasionally keyboard mapping or other options are required.  This video demonstrates how simple it is to set up Amstrad CPC game configuration options for the CoinOPS emulator front end.

CoinOPS Amiga Pack 3

A further set of 60+ games mainly from the OCS era of Amiga Games.  Some less well known games here and a few classics.

CoinOPS Atari 8-Bit Megapack 2

A further set of 8-Bit games for the Atari 800, 800 XL, XE, 320, and 130.

Many of the games are from the "silver age" of Atari software in Poland and Czechoslovakia where the Atari and variants were very popular.

Configuration Options for Atari 8-Bit Games in CoinOPS

Recent 8-Bit Packs for CoinOPS

This video screensaver shows some of the 8-Bit games I have recently configured for my CoinOPS installation.

CoinOPS C64 Megapack 2

Almost 500 more C64 games configured and ready to play.  Included within this pack are many more obscure titles.  My focus with game choice were early 80s games, budget games, and some of the best new homebrew titles.

CoinOPS Amstrad Megapack 3

A further set of Amstrad CPC games, some good and many bad.  Of particular interest is the Amstrad CPC version of Final Fight which shows just how bad a game could be and yet still be released commercially.

CoinOPS C64 Pack 5

A small pack that updates the list of games to fill out in particular the games of Jeff Minter.  An additional couple of games are the C64 version of Canabalt and a classic arcade adventure Treasure Island.

CoinOPS Atari 8-Bit Megapack 1

The Atari 8 bit series encompasses the Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE models, dating from the late 70s upto the early 90s.  These computers had their golden age in the US from 1979 to 1984 and enjoyed a Silver age in Poland, Czechoslovakia and the Eastern Bloc in 86 to 97.

CoinOPS Commodore 64 Megapack 1

More than 855 C64 games in this pack that took me about 6 months to produce.

CoinOPS Amiga Pack 1

A pack of mainly single disk amiga games, with an emphasis on games that were less well known, particularly adventures and more obscure games that don't appear on frequent top ten lists.

CoinOPS Amstrad Megapack 2

The Amstrad CPC platform came in third place in the UK 8-bit home computer area.  Despite having perhaps the best colour pallette it did not benefit from the hardware tricks of the C64, nor the flexibility of the ZX Spectrum.  Many of the games are slower than their Sinclair and Commodore counterparts.  However there are some very good exclusives such as Get Dexter that do show the potential of the hardware.

Intro

I will be using this blog site to keep track of the packs I have produced for the CoinOPS emulator frontend for the original modded xbox.

Information about CoinOPS can be found on the project site: http://coinopsproject.freeforums.org/

Packs that I list here are available to those who contribute time and effort to CoinOPS project and whom have been recognised as such by the forum admins.

I had in the past distributed my packs freely, but found that certain parasites had decided to sell xboxes with them preinstalled, without having given anything back to the community.  Some sellers were making more than £1000 per week from this.

To prevent others from profiting from my free time I am now only sharing these packs with others who directly contribute to this great project.
