Title: Wing Commander AGA Freezes
Post by: Havie on September 17, 2012, 09:35:31 PM

Hi - sorry if this is old ground but I'm trying to get Wing Commander CD32 edition to run on a1200 030/50.  Back in the day I could never get the patch to work and I stil can't!
 
Have managed to get the orchestra to show up and even got to the Wing Commander logo but the game keeps freezing.
 
Have got the patch and set stack=65000.  have copied all the various libs into system:libs.  Have tried running from shell but always the same.
 
Any suggestions would be most helpul!

Have now got the game to run - not only must you specify stack size (s=65000), you must  use SD=a number i.e. SD=3.  So where the guide on running the game says:
 
wcpatch s=65000  SD=3
 
You actually need this as far as I can see and just runing the patch doesn't work (for me).  I have tried SD=2 and it works.  Will experiment further...
