Hi Morcar, that sounds like a neat idea. Many of my games come in multi-language .TRD format, compatible with ESXDOS 0.8.5.

Sophia and Al's Double Bill are already tested for use with ESXDOS 0.8.6 beta 4 and are ready to be added.

Seto Taisho Vs Yokai needs to be 'patched' to work with that version without modifying the TRDOS.CFG file (see this thread to understand what I mean). I'll see to fix that issue and then I'll inform you through this thread.

Funky Fungus could also be made compatible, however I would not like it to be added to the pack right now because it's also going to be revised and enhanced in the future.

Cousin Horace and Cronopios Y Famas do not currently have a TRD multi-language edition available. If you are not in a hurry with your project, I could provide a specifically made version for them as well, but it will take some time.

Anyway, I should ask you to include the documentation files for each game in the pack. Also check my YouTube channel for demo and trailer videos.

Here are the links for Sophia and ADB, latest versions. The only files you really need are the .TRD multi-language versions and the .PDF and .TXT documentation. Again, I will post further information here about the other titles, so stay tuned ;)

Thats fine and there is so rush for the others as this will be constantly updated anyway and i can add the games when you are done. I will also add a folder called Game Documentation and add all the stuff in each of your games in there (maybe even have it in another folder to make life easy to find it)

Hi Morcar, Seto Taisho Vs Yokai is now patched to work with ESXDOS 0.8.6 beta 4 as well. Download it from my website (remember you do not need the whole set, just the TRD file and the files in the DOC subdirectory).

Thank you will add this to the pack.

I am looking to release V1.0 by the end of the week with any luck.
The amount of support I have had from all developers have been amazing and I can't thank you all enough.

As I have posted elsewhere too, feel free to include my games (SteelBall and Extruder).
