Teknoparrot games - part 27001

Its at 99.5% now, so it could be as early as tonight (East coast USA). 

Excellent news! The torrent for the 01-19-25 dat is complete!!!! I fully intend on SEEDING it. 1-2MBPS upload speed 

Enjoy!

 Thank you for providing the torrent. As an advocate for game preservation I am glad that we have ways to obtain these games

Hi folks! Thank you all for sharing the torrents. I'm in a doubt because I'm stuck at 89.3% downloading Boubikos torrent and it seems that seeders are gone as soon as they finish their downloads. Is there a way to rebuild SirVH's torrent using the completed roms from Boubikos torrent?. Can RomVault (or a similiar tool) do such a thing or in the end I have to download SirVH's entire torrent again?. I've searched for info on the net before posting this question but it seems that it's not possible due to how to torrents work. If could be done someway it would save a lot of time (1,3 TB download takes weeks to finish).

There should still be seeders on Boubikos torrent, i'm seeding 24/7, just with a lot of people connected sometimes it won't upload to all at the same time.

You can rebuild using romvault yeah, just need the dat and romvault default settings and it should produce the same files as Sirvh's. 

You're better off letting boubiko's torrent finish tbh, romvault won't be exactly fast either. 

Thank you for the quick reply!. As you recommends, I'll let both torrents downloading and sharing till Boubikos' one finish or at least complete at the most because anyway I still haven't enough disk space to perform such a long rebuild with two incomplete sets still downloading. Anyway I'm still sharing almost 24/7 to help a little.

 Hi Jarck, use SAMUI built-in RomVault or the TorrentZip utility on GordonJ's website. They are MUCH MUCH faster in the conversion. RomVault by nature, manipulates the archives in single threads. Depending on number of cores your PC has, SAMUI will convert 7z to TorrentZip or vice-versa at least a dozen or more times faster.

When setting them up, DO NOT enable the use of ALL cores for the conversion task, which is the default, Windows becomes sluggish and screen updates may freeze momentarily while converting. Leave at least 2 cores available for Windows to use.

I built mine using torrent zip, even if it doesn't save as much space as 7z, because a solid 7z rebuild would take hours, maybe more than a day... 

So, unless you really need to save the disk space and won't mind your computer being slow compressing something for hours and hours, I recommend build the thing as torrent zip.

In my personal experience, with a Ryzen 9 5900X, it's faster to download something from scratch, than rebuilding a 7z, specially those bigger Teknoparrot games.

Yeah i opted to download it from scratch to help seed, even on an nvme drive torrentzip/samui takes a good bit to convert all those files. 

Solid archives were originally designed for 1 or 2 rom per archive, but with thousands of files per game, and most game libraries are already compressed and occupy tens of GB, it's just a bad idea with very little benefits.

My hdd thrashed like crazy for hours without end when updating solid archives. I don't think it's good for the life of my hdd spinners. It's a hdd killer. I very strongly advised against using it for Teknoparrot-sized games.

 Hi again! Thanks SimonF, SirVH and Cpookz for your advice and tips about rebuilding the most recent torrent (SirVH) with the original (Bouvikos) using TorrentZip 3.0 (latest). Much appreciated!. Thanks Bouvikos for creating the original torrent, of course!

I've succedeed downloading and finishing the torrent a couple of hours ago and I followed your instructions in order to convert 7z files from Bouvikos' torrent into torrentzipped files for using them to fill as soon as possible the most recent torrent. I'm doing it in little batches (a dozen or so at a time) because at first I couldn't be sure if it was going to work but after the two first batches and checking the torrent everything is fine and working like a charm. QbitTorrent detects as completed the new 'converted' files. Anyway I'm still sharing the first torrent to help seed while I spend some time converting the remaining files for the second torrent.

Glad it completed for you Jarck, and yeah low threads is best.

High threads on a spinner is indeed crazy, tried it the first time and it was thrashing the hdd pretty hard. 

New Dat/Readme: !TeknoParrot Collection README (2025-02-16_RomVault).zip

They appear to be ALL text files generated by the game itself that does not match the ones I had.

TIA

Thanks

I only have one of the missing file from family guy bowling.

New dat: TeknoParrot Collection (2025-02-17_RomVault)

https://www.mediafire.com/file/u7w77fdibd3j45m/TeknoParrot_Collection_%25282025-02-17_RomVault%2529.7z/file

Fixed for SimonF and Devillo. I'm missing a config file, which is generated at runtime. Trying to contact eggman to know what did he put on that config file, and experimenting if chatGPT can find the thing :P

The cfg file attached is the default one created by the game, if anyone wants to play to try to find this.

After getting this file I will update the Torrent.

 Thanks. Can you add the readme file?

Hello,

I just found TeknoParrot today and I'm a little confused. Why are here lots of dat files and no torrents? For now I have not a single set and like to try out some games or all..

I just noticed Virusman website is no longer working. Can someone share a Family Guy Bowling game?

Thanks

 Sure

 wow... they took down VM's website too? some company must be going after a game that was recently added.

I'm missing 1 file:

Family Guy Bowling (1.15) (2017) (USA) [Team Play PC] [TP].zip

BepInEx/config/BepInEx.cfg (5,544 bytes) (CRC-32: 3370991e)

Thanks...

Hi. Does anyone have a link to Puck Off? Cannot find it anywhere. Thanks

Hi Silverback here your link to Puck Off

 Virus-man website is online

New DAT:
https://workupload.com/file/kKc6tjUHjwz

cool. His site must of been down for just a while. Thanks for uploading the Family Guy Bowling.

 Thanks for this deefadog!

Should I update the torrent without that .cfg file? That thing is generated during runtime. I tried changing options around but could not match the crc32.

Probably wait for eggman to say what he changed, from the readme it looks like it's not exactly playable yet so might be worth holding off?

Up to you in the end. 

Have you tried adding to the end of the .cfg and see if it'll match?

[Preloader.Entrypoint]

Default value: Application

Type = MonoBehaviour

Cheers

Here's the fixed set SirVH if you want to update the torrent Family Guy Bowling (1.15) (2017) (USA) [Team Play PC] [TP].zip

 for family guy bowling...100% works...the .cfg is generated after you do these steps..it leaves it in BegInEx/config folder...

here are the steps,

extract BepInEx folder to the Bowling.exe dir. then make  folder called plugins and put the FGBTPPlugin.dll in it .then run TP and load the game. it will just show a background... X out of tp and goto the BepInEx in config and edit BepInEx.exe ,adding Type= MonoBehaviour in place of Type = Application.save and run game...It would not make the config, if i didn't make a plugins folder and put the FGBTPPlugin.dll first.

Hope this clears thengs up for all you peeps...lol

lords out..)

Seems like i never connect to many with this torrent. Im at like 75% now but last few days only getting 100kbs. Downloaded a movie from another torrent site today got 20mbs. Not complaining just saying. 

 Thanks for that! <3

One of the readme attached. They created 3 more I'm missing.

Just wondering if that new dat(and format) is verified to be from DATVault/Eggman?

 Yep, that's my source.

Yes, Eggman post his dats direct to RomVault's DatVault (patreon), but also makes his dat's public and non-exclusive.
