I know the minimum spec for this game is 030 + 8MB, but is this really required? Is there any way to trick the game in to attempting to run on an 020 + 2MB so it will at least attempt to work on a CD32? I know this is a long shot, but I was playing Disposable Hero last night and remembered how much nicer T-Zer0 is, and I would love to play it on my CD32.

....SX32PRO!
It's the only way I can think of buddy. :shrug:
...kind of not the point I know but the CD32 is a bit limited. I'd love to give you a better answer but I don't know if there is one. :lol:
-
Yeah I was thinking that too. But I could probably get an A1200 with a 1230 for the price an SX-32 Pro would sell for. Not that I really want an A1200. The beauty of the CD32 for me is that I can just stick a CD in and the game will start up. No faffing about with keyboards/mice, no menus. I was really just hoping I could fool the game in to loading on an 020 and just see how it runs.

It's pretty unlikely that it actually *requires* an 030 and won't run on an 020. Unless it is banking on a built in MMU. The -6M RAM will kill it though I suspect.
-
The 020 would probably suffice, but RAM will definitely be the issue - it needs every last bit of Chip RAM (the 1965K I have after a typical boot isn't enough) so if there's a Fast RAM requirement on top of that, you're in trouble.
And I think the CD's not bootable so you'd have to burn a new one yourself with the appropriate files and CD32 dev extensions.
-
I could make a bootable CD32 disc for the game, but it sounds like memory will be a problem, so probably not much point. It's a real shame they never did a CD32 version of this game!

No i dont think so. It would suck if they scaled down the game as it uses the resurces pretty tight all ready i wouldent want to see a 2mb 020 version as it would look horriable :lol:
Its a great game and first time i did see those 3d renders i was amazed ...

An interesting thread moto which has got me playing T-zer0 again :pint:
It's a great game which compares to my all time favourite game Whip Rush on the Sega Megadrive :-)
Unfortunanely I can't get it to begin to run unless it finds 1773015 Bytes Chip + 2097512 Bytes FAST. Oddly enough when choosing to 'Boot With No Startup-Sequence' in both an A1200 and an A4000 it reports:
Gfx Chip ECS Agnus
Display Chip ECS Denise
T0ERROR (S)
AGA Chipset Required
For it to run I have to type:-
Setpatch
Assign T0: Work:T0
cd Work:T0
T-zer0
then it starts and runs perfectly after reporting:-
Gfx Chip AGA Alice
Display Chip AGA Lisa

I don't suppose this (http://cgi.ebay.de/SX-32-Erweiterung-fuer-Amiga-CD32_W0QQitemZ290216391296QQihZ019QQcategoryZ8153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) is the version with the 030?

Yup! that's the one! makes me ache not being in Europe to get such gems...
Can't Read German so can't tell ya if it is the 30 MHz of 50 MHz ver. if you look @ the BBoAH it'll give you more info...
-
Thanks! I have asked the seller which model it is. Not that it really matters, since I would assume any 030 + 8MB would run the game. The thought of T-Zer0 on a great big telly (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=2344) through some great big speakers from the comfort of the sofa makes buying this very, very tempting!

Well it turns out that SX-32 doesn't have an accelerator. The link on the BBOAH appears to be wrong - it links to the SX-32 Pro which is why I thought the one on eBay might be the 030 version.
How likely is it to get an SX-32 with an accelerator (any speed) and how much do they usually go for?

The SX-32 Pro is much more rarer and only tend to appear on ebay once or twice a year.
From the last few sold you should expect to pay around £400-£450

Thanks. I think I'll just go upstairs to play T-Zero...

I only just started playing about with T-Zer0 but I dont think theres any way to play this game with out a Keyboard AmigaKey=Bombs?
-
Hmm you could be right. Also there's manual security which would need the keyboard. I *really* want an SX-32 now ;-)
