Your hard drive buffers are using to much memory.  Just add 1MB or more of fastram and you are all set.

What country are you in?
Do you have a PAL or NTSC Amiga?
How much ram do you have?
Are you using a "boot 1.3" utility?

Part of the reason I said you need extra ram is so that you can softboot kickstart 1.3 because some games absolutely require it.  There are a few games that require kickstart 1.2.  So a kickboot util is a great thing to have.

@Orb

Based on the info you have given, my diagnosis is that the floppy drive in the A600 is not entirely compatible with the floppy drive of the A500.  They probably installed the same kind of lame drive that caused all the problems on the A1200.

I will bet that if you load a cracked copy on both machines that it will work on both machines.

If his A500 was PAL and his A600 was NTSC (or vice versa) then that would perfectly explain all his problems.

Did anyone install a PAL switch into your A500 or A600?

I just tested my Bionic Commando and Qix and they are both NTSC.  But you may have different versions than me.

Have you tried using Degrader (or similar util) to disable 1 MB of your A600 chipmem?  You don't normally need to do that but Bionic Commando is very old and its by Capcom so you'd better try it.

Degrader is a must have tool for running certain old games.
