Title: IGame - Whdload frontend ...
Post by: nickoteen on May 14, 2013, 11:31:22 AM: Was just wondering ... will IGAME work on an A500 machine ? I can't find any info on minimum system requirements anywhere ...

I do have a hdd and 8 mb of fast ram, but I'm more concerned about ocs chipset and a good old 68k not being able to run it.

thanks.

iGame is awesome, but it will be rather slow in an unaccelerated Amiga imho.

Imho, just use X-Bench which rox and it's really light

You'll need the 68000 versions of the MCCs (and to change a tooltype flag to avoid showing previews IIRC, I didn't bother recompiling render.library for 68000 as iGame already worked):

Post by: DaMi on October 10, 2022, 11:07:45 AM: It seems, the current iGame version requires render.library and there is no working version of render.library for MC68000. I unsuccessfully tried to run iGame on my Amiga 500, SnoopDos says the render.library is the last step, no other loading happens after that. Is here anyone who has different experience?
My setup is: A500, AmigaOS 3.2.1, Ace2b (https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/ace2.html) (2MB Chip), AlfaPower (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/alfapower) (8 MB Fast + CF, OktaPussy (https://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/oktapus)).

Post by: walkero on October 10, 2022, 02:45:13 PM: @DaMi1 I would recommend you disable the screenshots. This will make that requirement gone, and it will be faster on your system.

Post by: DaMi on October 10, 2022, 08:36:46 PM: Hi Walkero, thank you, disabling the screenshots helped, now the iGame 2.1 works well on my MC68000. 👍
