First of all thanks to the guys/gals that donated some money - very cool of you
I'll keep a note of that and see if I can organise a discount for you on future software
Regarding the link to Amiga Game Database - I can't find the link to the instructions - can you find it please and post it here?
Regarding the ebay dude(s) - what can I do? No the original game came out on cd - in a jewel case, with semi-pro printing for the cover, and an average label (not my art by the way). It never came in a DVD case so I'd suspect that guy has copied it.
Manually running the game:
==========================
Regarding the DH0: issue - I will have to look for a way around that - but first - try just copy the entire contents of the cd to the hard drive (not in a folder called Star - call it SpaceGame or something) and then take the cd away - that's basically an install. Then try running the game from there. It should be "StarFighter/executable" I think - I'll have to dig out the miggy to check so that one is going to take me some time to troubleshoot for you - please be patient and email me if you want for progress.
Regarding the instructions - there should be instructions in a guide and text form on the cd. - I will look for the exact location, but I have a copy here so I will probably post it to the website soon.
EDIT - Yes I found them in the root of the cd (meaning the iso you downloaded) Grab WinGuide from this dude...
Amiga to Win -Winguide and read the Instructions for the gameplay, Tech Readme for the RAD stuff - there's a file in the root called GoForLaunch which should install on most people's computer.
Regarding developing new software for the Amiga - I will have to look into that - If I can get open source c++, opengl sdk and a decent IDE, plus whitepapers on the chips and specs, then maybe. So any advice would be cool if you guys know where to get that stuff - making a game that worked on Amiga and PC at the same time would be cool.
Starfighter for the PC will be written after I have completed BRAVE found here ...
