Deluxe Galaga ECS (FIXED)
« on: February 07, 2016, 07:09:53 PM »
So I downloaded the Deluxe Galaga from Aminet (the ECS version) and installed it on my A2000. When I try to run it I get a yellow text screen surrounded by a flashing yellow boarder saying "File missing" in game directory . Can someone try it and see if they get the same result and what might be missing?

It works fine for me so I won't be messing up my game by re-downloading it from the Aminet. I think I got it off a mounted magazine CD on Amiga Format back in the day. Great game.

I wouldn't mind having that one.
Probably one of the all time best arcade games.

I have been playing the NES version on an emulator.

Its one of the few NES titles that actually looks fairly close to the original.

Oh, this is a simple one  ...you're trying to run the AGA version of the game! I tried to do the same on my ECS machine and got the same exact error as you. Yellow Guru stating that "a file is missing". Yeah, doesn't tell you *which* file, but that's not really the problem anyway.

Make sure you download the DeluxeGalaga_E archive, decrunch (on your Amiga of course), then you'll see a .readme file that tells you to throw the xpkMaster libs in Libs: and a folder entitled Compressors goes in Libs: as well. Didn't look into it further, but something else probably needs to be thrown somewhere else.

Of course and naturally (never easy or as simple as it should be when downloading and installing something on the Amiga or MorphOS anymore), but the sound didn't want to work when I tried. Go figure. I might look at it again in another 10 years. Or not.

Only Amiga makes it IMPOSSIBLE sometimes!  :lol:

I wasn't able to get the version off Aminet working a few months ago, either. Also downloaded some version off a WHDLoad site, couldn't get that one working either.

I remember having it back in the day and loved the heck out of it, but couldn't get either version running on either my 500 or 2000.  Need to revisit this, am sure it's some obvious issue, just haven't had time. :(

Yup, I've looked twice and it's the "E" version so that's not it unless someone messed up when they uploaded it at some point and it's actually the AGA version not the ECS

I just trew it into a vanilla WB2.0 installation in WinUAE and was prompted with the recoverable alert (yellow alert) that I was missing powerpacker.library. The missing archive was included in the DeluxeGalaga_E.lha archive and after dragging them (it also included xpkmaster.library and two compressors) into my libs folder in SYS: it worked perfectly.

Yup, I have all 4 xxx.library files in the Libs drawer so that's not it.

Hi,

I would suggest running a program called Snoopdos it should tell you what file(s) Galga is looking for.

Is your A2000 ECS or OCS? If it's OCS then it must have been called Galaga ECS because it requires the ECS chipset and perhaps this is the reason it's not working for you.

Well, I have an A2000 and Im running the Indivision ECS so I would assume I have an ECS version.

I did find an older version of Deluxe Galaga (V1.0) on a Fred Fish disc and its working so for now at least I can play it.

That's an incorrect assumption, IndivisionECS works with both OCS and ECS:

Ok, does the revision of the motherboard make a difference? I have a 6.3 revision motherboard in the A2000

Unless the game is using some 64 color EHB mode (that wasn't present in the original A1000 OCS chipset) there's no way that would make a difference. Myself and many others also had the same problem, and I most definitely have the ECS chipset. It's a dependency issue, or a missing library issue, or the game is looking for PowerPacker library version 2.0 and you have 2.1 installed, or some dumb thing like that. (just made up those numbers, btw, but you get the idea).

Run the sucker with SnoopDOS and see what it reports. I'd do it but I'm back to working 15 hours a day again, no time for Amiga fun. :(
