Title: Airball HD on BTTR
Post by: TjLaZer on August 25, 2004, 05:09:33 AM

Has anyone gotten Airball HD from Back2Roots to work?  It uses JST.  It does not work for me.  It hangs at the title screen.  The game runs and music plays but when you press the space bar to start it hangs to a black screen.  I tried it on a A600HD, A1200 040, A4000 030, A4000 060 and A3000 060.  All do the same!  Anyone have the WHDLoad version they could send?  (It is freeware)

Thanks all.

Hi TjLaZer,

To my knowledge Airball only works on 512K of Chip ram.  So, you will have to use an Amiga 1000 or an Amiga 500 or 2000 with a revision 4.x motherboard.  I could email you the Atari ST version of Airball.   :-D

My Amiga 500 Tower runs Airball, but only when I turn off the second 512K of Chip ram.   :-)

Someone must have the WHDLoad version!  Anyone have it I can download?

Again a reminder, this game is FREEWARE.  Goto BTTR to check... ;)

I don't have AirBall, but WHDLoad should be able to run your JST version (IIRC it has a JST emulation built in). Try if that solves the problem.

@cgutjahr

You got it the wrong way around.  JST can emulate WHDLoad.

@TjLaZer

You have mail (with attachments...).

@adolescent

Thanks it works!  This is the PAL version but at least it works.  Actually what it is, is like alot of European games, a NTSC version with the screen centered to PAL.

The question I have is, when it runs in PAL it runs noticably slower, are games like this actually timed and make for the PAL speed or the NTSC speed?

I added the PAL tooltype.  Not sure if it's supposed to run in PAL or NTSC.  (Remove it and see...).

It does run in NTSC when PAL is removed, but the screen is shifted down (because it is designed to be centered on a PAL screen)

I guess they started doing this because PAL Amiga users got fed up with all the games having a 2" gap at the bottom of the screen, and were threatening to go Atari ST! lol
