Has anyone else tried Dune 2? It seems to crash on the highscore screen. I'd imagine an error to do with writing to disk.

Hi, got a few more!

Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis (adventure) - says out of memory then crashes (v2.3_0851)

Secret of Monkey Island shows "Game Paused. Press SPACE to Continue." throughout the intro. despite no keys being pressed. Game otherwise works fine. Kinda slow, but maybe that's just the Amiga version (v3.7_1625)

Kings Quest V is also really slow (v1.3).

Worms Directors Cut doesn't seem to load (only tried v1.3_AGA_8MB_0605)

Cheers

From the system menu also. I haven't tried any via Amibench

Maybe the Monkey Island thing was a me problem. I'll see if I can recreate it.

As for speed. I didn't compare it to a real Amiga, so I wasn't sure what to expect really.

Did you try saving your score the Hall of Fame after a mission on Dune? I think the error is when it's trying to do a write (at a guess anyway).

Anyone had any luck with Silkworm working via WHDload on the launcher?

Hey, thanks for your reply.

I got corrupt graphics, then it just went black.

Eventually I went through a few different ADFs with different combinations until I found one that worked.

I'll give WHDLoad another try all the same. Is there a way to enable different custom= WHDLoad options?

I was using Silkworm_v1.5_0388.lha also. Hmmm, maybe I can try adding it again.

From the System launcher we can set the Custom options? I'll have a look when I get a mo

Anyone tried Hybris? I can't seem to get beyond the main menu and select my fighter. It doesn't recognise the fire button, then the screen changes it and gets stuck on the main game screen (just the desert terrain with nothing else but the music playing). I tried a reboot, then it crashed (but it did acknowledge the button press, as that's what caused it!)

On the third attempt, I got to the loading screen, I could select my fighter, but then it freezes at the main game screen (i.e. desert backdrop).

and it's NTSC, so the display is a bit off. Is there a custom= setting for that? and if so, how do I apply it from the A600GS System menu?

Fantastic Dizzy seems ok to me, again I might need a longer play through.

Black screen also for me with Crystal Kingdom Dizzy. Maybe @SkulleateR can have a go, he seems to have more luck with whdload files in the menu.

Can you find an ADF version of Crystal Kingdom that works? I can't find one that gets beyond asking for disk 2. I have a few different disk 2s, and it doesn't seem to register it.
