Issues running James Pond 2 OCS-ECS on NTSC A500

[Dr. Chef]

Hello, I'm trying to get James Pond 2 to run on my Amiga 500 (NTSC - OCS Chipset + 512KB trapdoor ram).

I have the OCS-ECS version. I can get the floppy to run, but I cant press the fire button on my controllers. I can press the esc key, but that resets the intro.

Thanks,

Dr. Chef.

I have 512KB + an A501 Trapdoor expansion giving me a total of 1MB of ram. It might be slow ram, but I'm unsure.

The floppy I have is the 0.5MB version.


Note: I do own an original floppy from eBay, but that disk was corrupt, so I downloaded a version off the internet, but I was having issues with not being able to press the fire button on any of my controllers. I'm able to play with Amiga Forever with no problems, but not on my physical A500 (I can press fire and continue playing on Amiga Forever, but not on my A500). When I edit the game settings on Amiga Forever, I see it auto configured for 512k slow ram.

Edit: Added stuff.

Yes, I was able to use my controllers with various other games. My workbench title bar just show the amount of free memory I have (896064 free memory is what it displays), not X amount of chip, and X amount of other memory. I'm using a skidrow cracked version.


Thanks.

Yes, I'm using WB 1.3. I should of mentioned that.

When I type Avail, the shell shows that I have chip and fast ram.
