Title: Shadow of the Beast II question?
Post by: sturulez on February 24, 2010, 12:59:17 PM
OK, basically does shadow of the beast II run ok on a A1200? I know the 1st one doesnt as i have to run in on my A600..
 
Or is there anyway around it so my A1200 can run the first shadow of the beast game without any problems???
 
thanks

you can try disabling caches and emulating original chipset from the boot menu (hold down both mouse keys on boot)

failing that you may want to get hold of a relokick disk (which loads a kickstart 1.3 image on your 1200)

or if you want some adventure, use whdload (http://www.whdload.de). (you may need to upgrade your miggy if it's a standard system)

yes ive tried  disabling caches and emulating original chipset from the boot menu (hold down both mouse keys on boot) and using a 1.3 kickstart but the game crashes as soon as i start playing it.
What do i need to upgrade in order to use WHDLoad???
 
thanks

you need a harddrive (or CF card used as a harddrive) and possibly some ram. You may do without the ram for STOB though since it's a two floppy game.

I do have a hard drive and additional ram.. But i cant get it to work proverly.. Ive got the WHDLoad file on the amiga, but when i run the installation program it says there is some sort of error occured on parmenter 125 or something like that, so i cant install it.. come to think of it im not sure if it is the latest version of WHDload i need.. anyone help??

Get the latest version of the installer:

http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/Installer-43_3

Install that then the latest version of WHDLoad from whdload.de.

Worked on my 1200T after disabling CPU Cache and OCS mode, mind you I switched off my 030. Different mobo revisions may affect compatibility.

if you dont want to use whdload, I would recommend relokick aswell. there's not a lot that wont run with some tweaking of the early startup menu and a copy of relokick.
