added beta 3 of Quake II Rendition Verite driver 156K
added ReloadedWindows95 patch1158K I suppose this patch allows the game to run flawlessly under Windows95, Gremlin did not
provide any information whatsoever about the patch.
Hmmm, something trashed my database file. Thank heaven for daily automatic
backups...
Today i started working on a frames based concept for my pages. The good news: frames certainly make the site look more appealing and easier to
browse. The even better news: You will be able to choose between frames and no-frames. My semi-finished frames design is available for those
who want to try it for flaws at NEW ART.

I fixed a major bug in my html generating script today which should have rendered
people unable to download files from my PC/Mac/Amiga pages. I don't know why
anyone was ever able to download a single file. If Netscape/Microsoft would
clearly follow the rules set by the W3 consortium you shouldn't have been
able to. Strange, indeed. A big thankyou goes to Frans P. de Vries for pointing
this out to me. Also thanks to Andreas Kuerzinger for sending me a list
of downloadable patches for Amiga games - i will have them added soon.
Just for the record:
1348 PC patches are listed now
164 Mac patches are listed now
10 Amiga patches are listed now (soon about 100% more)
added Advanced Civilization version 1.1 541K
added International Rally Championship version 4.63230K
added Interstate '76 version 1.083 4763K This patch brings support for Direct3D compatible cards (e.g. Matrox Mystique, 3DFX, Rendition)
and returns force feedback support to those users already using version 1.081 beta.
added ManxTTmodemplay fix471K This patch came originally with a japanese installer, but the files
apply for any release - so don't worry if you got the file from Operation 3DFX
or Adrenaline Vault and wondered what to do with it. It fixes
problems users were experiencing in modemplay.
added beta 4 of Myth: The Fallen Lords version 1.11053K
added Screamer II3D support for Matrox Mystique386K This patch adds 3D support (as seen in Screamer Rally by now) to Screamer II
and should work in for localized versions as well (e.g. "Bleifuss II").
added Virtua Fighter IIDirect3D upgrade802K Adds support for 3D cards compatible with Direct3D. It should look very
much like the old arcade version by now.

I did a little browser testing today while i was waiting for my uploads
to cdrom.com to be done.
Here are the results:
All browsers were set to defaults , only caching was turned off.
Screen resolution was set to 1024x768 as was requested on my page.
* Netscape 3 :
- Awfully big fonts per default, needs to be reduced quite a bit
- red border around logo
- every page loads successfully
- Java applets etc. work
- building up pages is a bit slow and seems to hang sometimes...
* Internet Explorer 3 :
- Fonts appear to be smaller, but this has to be an optical trick
- red borner around logo
- crashs/locks up when trying to list full listing of all PC patches
- very slow in loading pages
* Opera 3.0 (beta 9) :
- Fonts appear to be smaller than in Netscape 3
- red border around logo
- loads up pages very fast
- every page loads successfully
- Java applets do not seem to work
- tables have the wrong size, some colours are wrong
* Netscape 4 :
- same look & feel as with Netscape 3
- seemed to be a lot slower than Netscape 3 when loading pages.
- red border around logo
- pages load succuessfully, Java works
* Internet Explorer 4 :
Who at Microsoft had the glorious idea that you need Administrator
Priviledges to install IE4?! Not enough that you couldn't download the full
version from any page, i couldn't even install it on my NT machine.
I have only NT or Unix machines to access the Internet, so i won't be able
to test IE4 - and i don't feel like i want to anymore...
* NCSA Mosaic
- colours are off, no support for JPEG
- No Frames, no Tables
- everything looks wrong, only what's new page is useable
* Lynx
- very good for a quick look on what's new
- limited tables support in Lynx 2.6 and later
- not useful if i'm going to use Frames soon
* other browsers
I just don't recommend them - try to upgrade or choose one of the
still supported browsers available on the market.
Overall:
Netscape 3.0 or higher still seems to be the browser of choice when
accessing the web (and only the web, it is really a crappy programm once
you want to use archie or ftp or even gopher!), but once the guys creating
Opera have sorted out the bugs it is definitely a browser to switch to.
I'll probably make it my recommended browser once a Linux version is
available - there can't be anything more unstable than Netscape 3 (except
Netscape 4), it crashes almost on an hourly basis for me -> that means
24 times a day or worse. Oh, and i need to redo my logo... :)
added Ultimate Raceversion 1.5356K This fix is only intended for bundles shipping with Gateway 2000 computers, Matrox m3D or Apocalypse 3Dx bundles.
new in this version:
. DirectX 5.0 enhanced

First part of my update to my Game Companies list
is done. This one only features removals while the second part will
feature new additions and fixes to links.
removals
- American Laser Games
- Bloodlust Software
- Dark Unicorn Productions
- Data East
- Digi4Fun & Digi4Fun Lichtenstein
- Firestorm
- GTE Entertainment
- Hipnotic Interactive
- Magnet Interactive Group, Inc.
- ReadySoft Inc.

I decided to open up a 3D cards section to make it easier
for people with Voodoo , Voodoo Rush, Rendition, S3 Virge, Mystique , Riva , etc... to find native patches for their cards or
at least Direct3D support which initially might have been left out of a released game.
added G-Policefix for Apocalypse graphic cards654K Videologic only mentions Apocalypse cards, but this seems to be a generic PowerVR fix and therefore might
work even on a Matrox m3D card.
added Postal"Santa" patch14373K adds Santa Claus and his reindeers to the game
Today will probably mark a new record in the history of my site. If i counted
right , i'm going to add about 200MB on files on this single day.
So bear with me that this update looks very messy, but i wanted to have
the files listed before i have to leave for classes in the morning.
I'll clean it up and organize it tonight.
WARNING!!! Most of these patches are BIG.
added Bleifuss Fun3DFX update , version 2 for german release339K This is for the german release of Ignition.

...quite a few other patches went obsolete and space @ cdrom.com is running low again *sigh*
changes november, 22nd
added Extreme Assaultupgrade 1.2 to 1.21428K This patch seems to be multilanguage since the patches available at
bluebyte.com & bluebyte.de for the US and german version seem to be exactly the
same. I'll list them as one patch until further notification.
- fixes Network error in which cannon towers appeared instead of the
desired Extras
added Front Page Sports: Football Pro '98 version 1.04 1171K Well, this patch is a bit odd. The included readme says it is 1.04, while
the filename they choose suggest it's a beta and
Sierra's website still lists 1.02 as being the latest version. Again i need
someone to verify this.
added Quake mission pack #2OpenGL upgrade for UK release2078K This patch requires GLQuake already installed and will only work if you got the european
distribution. The previously added patch was only for the US release and will fail to update a european copy.
To determine which version you need, press the ~ key. This will pull down the console.
If your console has no text on it, you need the US patch.
added Space Marinesversion 28th february 1996274K Just to clarify things: Filedates are from 28th february 1996 , so only if your smarines.exe is older than that, you might need
this patch.
added Fun Tracks Voodoo upgrade334K This is the french release of Ignition.
added Ignition Voodoo upgrade334K
added Madden NFL Football '98 version 1.12390K

include Howling Mine, Soul Net and others.
- Fast effects response is no longer allowed for the activation of Black
Lotus.
- City of Brass no longer orphans its one point of damage upon
activation.
- Contract from Below allows user to select order in which cards in hand
are discarded.
- Fastbond properly handles more than one Fastbond in play. Fastbond
also now recognizes lands being put into play by means other than
being placed from the hand (Untamed Wilds).
- Nevinyyral's Disk no longer taps if you cancel activation.
- Argothian Pixies and Argothian Treefolk are no longer immune to some
instances of direct damage.
- Disenchanting an Animate Artifact that was cast on an artifact
creature no longer removes the creature state from the artifact
creature.
- Farmstead now recognizes the additional cost imposed by Gloom.
- Serendib Djinn is correctly now a flying creature.
added Panzer General II version 1.1 of UK release 1266K
added Panzer General 3D version 1.1 of german release 1296K
I started putting new artwork onto my pages. The conversion will take quite
some time since the guy who is doing the artwork and me are discussing
heavily about each single piece and we also want to have a banner logo ready
for people who want to provide links. So maybe in december or later I will
be done with it.
Also i'm getting more and more into a counter frenzy. So don't worry if I
add a few more counters on my main page - they will eventually get removed
over time. So far the best i've found is Nedstat, closely followed by
Webtracker - if all you are interested in statistics. If you want ratings
and "compete" in a chart, go for Webside Story.
Here are the Links:

Black Vise and The Rack no longer do double damage.

hangups during gameplay & intro.
added Flying Corps (Dawn Patrol II) version 1.11p 3162K - replaces fc_111c.zip
This patch adds multiplayer support and exterminates some creepy
8 legged bugs that may be in the game.
Note: Adrenaline Vault mentions that you need to download patch 1.11a
first in order to upgrade to 1.11p, but the readme inside the game
says different. Since i don't own the game i cannot tell for sure,
but i'll have to trust Rowan software's ability to write readme's.
In case you need 1.11a, visit Adrenaline Vault and let me know.
added Outpost IIscenario pack 1374K adds 3 new scenarios:

If your computer does not have a sound card, you will
need to download this patch.
Also download this patch if you get any errors saying your sound card
does not support 16 bit sound.
added Sid Meier's Gettysburg patch #1 419K from readme.txt:
Multiplayer TCP/IP performance has been greatly improved. Some of you
bold souls may have noticed game hangups with anything more than 2
players. This patch addresses that problem. However, doing so required
that we change the protocols somewhat which means all players in a
game will need to have upgraded with this patch.
There is now an option in the Preferences to do full redraws on
scrolling.
Misc. bug fixes that you'll hopefully never know were there.
added Pazifik Admiralversion 1.1203K FIXES:

premise.
- Iwo Jima's and South Pacific's latitude has been changed to a more tropical climate to prevent
snowing.
- In Burma and Persia, the map types been redefined to allow placement of ships.
- Tokyo has been rebuilt to not allow movement of ships into the city.

- been increased.
NEW FEATURES:
- After the scenario ends in campaign play, a dialog box appears asking if you want to save.
- Units on the Strategic Map are dimmed to denote no movement points remaining.
- When upgrading, experience stars are placed on the right side of the unit icon in the army list.

other's mines.
- A drop to Windows caused by playing from the CD is now fixed. (It

changes october, 6th
added ConstructorDos to Win95 native converter896K This patch is for the european releases only - except the italian version, which will
have a separate patch. All it seems to accomplish is to convert the DOS version into
a Windows 95 native one. There seem to be no bugfixes at all. I'll look further if
i can find any more information about the patch.
added No Respectversion 1.1790K This patch among minor bugfixes, changes the following things:
- The 'Blue eyes' secondary plasma weapon has been made less powerfull to avoid
the 'Vendetta' vehicle having too much of an advantage with respect to others.
- The 'Firewall' high explosive missile now launches much faster , giving the player
more control over it.
- Teleports are now less sensitive regarding the position of the vehicle.

added Hexen II version 1.09a 2726K - replaces ph2v109.zip
added a beta of Hexen II Rendition port 274K This one requires Hexen II v1.09 or later and probably newer drivers as well.
added MotoRacer Polygon version 779K This version should speedup the game if you have a 3D card with at least 4MB RAM.
added Links for OS/2 1.1 [617K] - replaces lnkfk1b.zip
changes september, 23rd
Until a replacement for the defective drive hosting our games archive has
been found and installed ftp.cdrom.com will host The Patches Scrolls .
This might lead to faster downloads for non-europeans, but hopefully not
a major slowdown for us euros.
added Birtright for DOS 1.0.0.2[1176K] - replaces brdospt.zip
added Birthright for Windows95 1.0.0.2[1109K] - replaces brwn95pt.zip

I'm finally back from ECTS and visiting Games Domain's headquaters in Great
Britain. It was really exhausting, but also much fun. I even got a picture
together with Lara Croft, i'll scan it eventually and put it on the website
along with a forthcoming ECTS overview - but this isn't decided yet. It
depends on wether i have enough time to compile it or not.
But back to news:
added Achtung Spitfire! 1.11[99K]
added Anstoss II 1.20 (german release)[1080K] - replaces gamepat.zip
I finally got around looking over my companies page. There might be a few
more incorrect/outdated entries still but the domains existed so i left them
in my list. If there is anything wrong, mail me.
added another fix for Lords of the Realm II Siege Addon Pack [530K] - replaces lotr2sg1.zip
changes august, 15th
Links to Macintosh and Amiga patches won't work for some days on ftp.cdrom.com
while we work on relocating stuff there. So for now you can only get new
patches for these machines @ Dresden. If there are any other incorrect links,
please mail me. I have soo much changes to do for the "new" site i might
have overlooked quite a few things. Oh , and an major update to the companies pageIS forthcoming soon.
added Quake upgrade for OpenGL 0.94 [270K] - replaces glq3_28.zip
changes august, 9th
Another big bunch of files added. Thanks to those who notified me about
their existance. It seems the software industry isn't going onto a summer
break this year like in the past...
Macintosh Patches
added a beta Carmageddon for 3DFX upgrade (german release) [749K]
added a beta Carmageddon for 3DFX upgrade (US release) [735K]
added beta 2 of F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 to 3.01[3011K] - replaces f18_301b.zip

A quick update on what is going on:
The new drive is online and operational. I might have to replace it soon
since this one seems to have far too many bad sectors for my likening, but
it works for now. The entire games area has been moved and most mirrors
have incorporated that change already. I still need to do some fixes in
my html scripts, but for now they seem to work. Some minor tweaks here and
there, fixing of some broken links - all in all it shouldn't take very much
longer.
Here are (most) of the new files:
Amiga Patches
We're almost out of diskspace, so i hope i can add the new diskdrive soon.
Unless this happens REALLY soon i'll be forced to leave things in incoming
and new things won't be added unless they replace older patches.
I'm currently busy with exams for the next two weeks and also down to 24Kb
free diskspace (the patches currently occupy about 715MB - just for the
record) so new additions won't be moved very fast due to these two
limitations. Sometimes i wish 3dfx wouldn't be soo popular right now. The
amount of 3dfx-related patches is frightening large :) So if you haven't
bought one yet - go out and get it NOW.
added beta 1 of Mercenaries 1.08 (Direct3D upgrade)[6768K] This one requires that you have version 1.05 (not 1.00 like i do) on CD. We'll
have to wait for the next patch though...
The Graphics+ patch for EF2000 added on 3rd july was corrupted. Get the
revised copy now instead. You still need the
european release with TactCOM addon installed for the patch though.
added a beta patch for Over the Reich 1.01 to 1.1 [406K] There seems to be a leaked beta of a 3DFX patch for Interstate '76 out on the 'net.
I appreciate it that you uploaded it into my incoming area - whoever you are - but i
had remove the file and will not carry any beta until released by Activision
to the public. I most certainly cannot afford a lawsuit for distributing and
carrying pirated software.
added Tigers on the Prowl II 2.06 [838K] - replaces top_204.zip
changes june, 21st
The new harddisk is still not operational and online as we are having
quite a lot of technical difficulties as of recently as many of you might have
noticied when their attempts to connect to my page failed during this week.
I'm sorry but there is nothing i could do to solve this. One of our main
routers has a tendency to loose all connections during the night and needs
a manual reboot - or so it seems...
I opened a new area for customizations to games made by fans. Things like
all those NBA Live! roster patches will be added there. Go and have a first look. They will be
marked here with usermade.
added beta 5 of Emperor of the Fading Suns 1.3 [354K]
added patches for Blood from 1.00 to 1.01:
for censored (aka bloodless) version [132K] for registered version [1971K] for retail shareware CD [389K] for shareware version[393K]
removed Quake OpenGL miniport driver for WindowsNT - replaced by OpenGL driver for Voodoo & Voodoo Rush
changes may, 27th
New updates will be slightly delayed in upcoming weeks due to the fact
that i have a) almost no free space available and more important b)
i have to prepare myself for exams.
The last known (to me) bug in my new design is fixed. I'll probably move everything tomorrow so if you linked anything else beside my homepage these links will most likely become invalid soon. The mirrorpage @ cdrom.com will feature a modified version until i found out how and if i can use
their local cgiwrapper.
A big apology to those people i promised a link to their page in the last 4-8 weeks but failed to do so until now but coding the new scripts was really timeconsuming and university live is consuming most of my time lately.
New download design beta 4 (looks final) finished! Check the new webdesign
out and tell me if it needs some final fixes i may have overlooked. No comment
on the graphics please - i know i need replacements and am awaiting them... :)
added Age of Rifles 1.0 to 1.4:
disk 1[1377K] - replaces aor1_3a.zip
disk 2[802K] - replaces aor1_3b.zip
The scripts for the new page outfit are almost done. I apologize if i'm getting
a bit sloppy on other matters - like updating the companies page and adding
site links, but i want this to be done first. And having a few spare time jobs
plus classes at university doesn't help either to get me more time for my hobby.
On a related note: the "weekly" newsletter i post on Usenet will reappear this weekend.
Our lab was closed the last few days for hardware upgrades so i never had the
neccessary time to compile a new issue in the last 2 weeks.
Furthermore i finally found some bugs in my scripts and was able to transport
the scripts to cdrom.com so updating the mac-page isn't a pain anymore and i am
able to update it much faster than before.
I installed a new download page today - call it beta 2 if you want to.
This design will with minor changes soon be implemented for all areas.
By the way...i'm still looking for someone who can provide me some graphics for the pages.

added Age of Sails 1.04 (UK-release) [179K] - replaces aos102uk.zip
added Screamer II 1.11 (network)[653K] - replaces s2n.zip
Could somebody please verify if the former patches were for the italian release of Screamer II?
added final 1.0 patch for Tomb Raider for Matrox Mystique[395K] - replaces tombmys1.zip
changes february, 21st
Yesterdays added copies of patches for the Battleground series were a mess. I apologize.
That's what you get when you can't verify an archive because it's a selfextracting
windows exe. >(
added new patches for Descent II for Verite chipset[724K] & Voodoo chipset[782K] These are dated 02/07/97 and replace the earlier release from january '97.
