Title: Update on an old Amiga game
Post by: Holmes on August 21, 2007, 07:19:58 PM

Any body followed the status of xtreme racing from Silltunna software ie. new tracks or updates/mods/patches. i found this to be a very entertaining game, but I have lost track of this game.

Also if this would run on the new os it would be perfect.


As a side enquiry, all the options needed to get old games to work on updated hardware (ie caches of different processors,kickstarts,vbr, and others), how are these handled on the new os4. I know on the classic there is wdhload, and one I have used, Tude, but this would be interesting.

p.s this might need another thread?, I hope the first question
is in the correct forum!

Thanks for the reply, there's plenty to wade through there!

I brought the datadisk with extra tracks, and also tracks off
of an magazine year's a go. It's a pity it can't get a major revamp for the future

you can not run non-system friendly games on OS4.  

Old games have to be run through the OS4 Version of UAE

 That's certainly the case with an A1. But what if the hardware that a non-system friendly game needs to poke is present?

not 100% sure a classic os4 betatester can confirm

but os4 disables the 68k cpu, so classic games will not work on os4 on classic miggy
