Re: Some games not working on real Amiga using ClassicWB

All I can tell u is that 2 different independent ppl reported to me that Total Chaos AGA works on ClassicWB.  They did not tell me if they did any tricks like this Safe Mode u r speaking of.  I didn't even know they had that.

If u try Total Chaos AGA and it flat does not work then there is something wrong with your ClassicWB or your hardware.

There could theoretically be a problem with running the game from a partition with long filenames as all filenames have been truncated on FFS.  This might prevent a few sound files from playing or some gfx from showing but nobody has noticed any bugs yet.  But I have not tested it myself yet and I can't test it until I get my new ergo keyboard built.

It is possible that the long filename thing is causing those games to not work.  You should keep one partition as FFS or as PFS3 with short filenames just to test anything that does not work.

Good luck 2 u.  ClassicWB looks kewl.

Setup: CBM A1200 with 3.0,

Do u really have a kickstart 3.0 ROM?

Are you softkicking a 3.1 ROM?

I have always refused to use any advanced features of kickstart 3.1 in my games.  Ppl are always shocked by this.  But I always tell them that I never know when some crazy guy will get his old KS3.0 A1200 out of the closet and run my game.  You are that guy. :laugh1:  What am I supposed to do with ppl like u?  Just put up a screen that says you have been banned for using KS3.0?  Or just let the game crash on u?  I prefer to keep the game working for all AGA users.

 ClassicWB Full, 1230 MK 4, 32 MB 60ns RAM, ROM mapped to Fast RAM, CD ROM and 800MB 2.5" HD with latest PFS.

You did not say how many Mhzs u have?

It matters a lot since you basically have no L1 cache on the 030 CPU and the CPU takes 2 cycles for the fastest instructions.

Fblit breaks lots of games so be careful to only use it on things that it, by chance, works with, such as Workbench.
