Title: Shadow Of The Beast
Post by: Scaleskin on September 13, 2004, 03:56:12 PM

I am having a bit of a problem with Shadow of the Beast on WinUAE (latest version and older versions). It loads up from disc 1...asks for disc 2...everyhting is fine at first, but when I get into the game I can only take a few steps in either direction before it locks, followed by the flashing red error message. I have tried ADFs of it from two different locations but i cannot get it to work, any ideas?

I get that exact problem when playing it from disk on my A1200 (with and without an accel).  I think it's got something to do with CIA timing?

Try it in WinUAE as an A500 with only 512k RAM.

I wouldn't use anything higher than kickstart 1.3 with the
emulation.  Also turn all the settings to the highest
compatibility possible.  I don't remember the exact
parameters, but basically any setting that usually has a
performance hit.

Just get the WHDLoad and use that in WinUAE, works great! Isn't the WHDLoad freeware now?  pmail me if you want it.

I would like the WHDLoad software...
I will try the suggested settings and see if that works as well...

WHDload is not freeware.  You may download a "free" demo,
but the full version is $20.  Check the WHDload (http://www.whdload.de/reg.html) homepage
for registration info.
