A bunch of games have been added to the repository: symlink.dk/nostalgia/dtv/fixed/All the original DTV (v2) games have been added. A good part of Ebster's collection (games that work with one player using port 2, without requiring keyboard use). A few games patched by 1570. And TLR did a patched River Raid. Keep up the good work guys. I will try to do a little patching myself. The archive is growing to a respectable size. Soon there will be too many entries for one page, so I need to do some PHP coding. I have been putting this off for far too long anyway.

Henry's House has been added to the repository.
There was nothing that needed to be patched, but I did a trainer and Exomized the game.
(Wohoo. This is my post number $100)

A few more games have been added.
Hopefully I will soon get some time to make an RSS-feed with latest additions, but so far I'm just posting here when I have updated the repository.
Frank16 sent me the following: Pooyan, Space-Pilot, Petch II and Burger Time.
Bencao74 sent me: Fort Apocalypse and Monty on the Run.

And Crystal Castles has been added. This was patched by bencao74, who kindly also remapped the game to use joystick port 2, for (mostly) unmodded DTV use.

The hummer repository only has 3 games in it? Might consider updating that.

The hummer repository only has 3 games in it? Might consider updating that. Good point. AFAIK ExpertSetup is the only one who ever did Hummer Userport Joystick patches. And since I have not had a hummer to test on, I have not done much in this regard. The only reason I added those 3 games in the beginning was that I already had screen-shots. And actually I don't think that should qualify them for being in the repository. I would say the Hummer repository is somewhat of a misnormer, because I thought there were less differences between the Hummer and DTV. For the hummer repository to be of any use you should have Hummer hardware with a DTV kernel, and with a userport joystick connection. How many people have this configuration? (The reason for the need of a DTV kernel is that the repository uses dtvpacked files, that are not directly compatible with the hummer kernel). I welcome any suggestions regarding the Hummer userport games archive, but I don't really see a reason to update it unless someone has a use for it. And if there are people who have a use for it, I would like them to step forward and tell me what they would want from the archive. The fact is that with neither a Hummer, nor anything running NTSC, I have little use for the hummer archive. I merely created it because I thought that offering an archive for the userport games was logical when I already had the one for DTV games. But after it has come to my attention that there are differences (as mentioned above), I am not sure anymore. Suggestions please?

What about using the dtvmkfs/DTVFSEdit PRG feature for the Hummer ZIPs? With PRG support in image programs I do not see much reason to stick with the dtvpacked format. With PRGs in ZIPs users can use the repository easily just for putting programs on SD cards for their SD2IECs/1541-IIIs even if they don't intend to reflash their Hummer. I still recommend to put index.txt in the ZIPs for people who indeed use a DTV kernal on the Hummer.
