List of working/non working Apps on AmiBench

[amyren]

Would it be relevant to have a section with list of working apps/games running on the A600GS via A500/A1200/A4000 setups?

Payback > Commercial is working.  (listed above as not working)
First you need to edit the icons and set the script protection bit, change icon tooltype from Project to Tool, and change it to run from Shell.
Then launch the Payback setup and select software renderer screenmode to 640x480 8 bit.
ADoom 1.4 is Working
ChuckRock and ChuckRock2 both works using whdload
The Settlers -> Working. (icon file needs to be set Tool, script bit set and to run from shell)

Breathless -> Commercial - Not working
KarlosTKG -> https://github.com/0xABADCAFE/karlos-tkg/ - Not working (game is running with sound effects if you press the right keyboard keys, but black screen)
Nemac4 -> Commercial - Not working (screenmode requestor works, but comes with an error when launcing game "Can't allocate BM" )
Volfied -> Not working (use whdload, but just pops up a JOTD startup text outout window with and end message press return to quit)
Valhalla - Fortress of eve -> Commercial - Not working (starts loading and after a while a disk icon is displayed on screen and it quits back to AmiBench)

And you can actually PLAY the game ? I get into first menu and after starting the game it just crashes ...

Works for me with original WHDLoad exe (copied into the Volfied folder) ...

Will put the others on the list tomorrow, thanks

Yes, Payback is playable here. Did not test it for long, but I can run around steal cars and drive them. You do have the updated version? I think update7 was the latest. Available at https://www.apex-designs.net/PaybackUpdate7.lha

Volfied working now thanks. That whdload file that comes in C: is not a real whdload then? Version says JOTD startup 99-99-999
Copied the whdload v19 to the game drawer and now it runs.

Breathless AGS -> https://whdownload.com/games/B/Breathless_v1.1_AGA_0178.lha - Works with the real Whdload 19 copied to game drawer
The Breathless reported earlier as not working was the original game HD installed.

[amyren]

Ok, but I guess games like Breathless should be added to the list then as Not Working, with a comment that the whdload version runs.
The same goes for AlienBreed II - The Killing Grounds, which is hard to get running from HDD even on emulated AmigaOS, but the whdload version runs on Amibench.

Also not all whdload games runs either, most does but some have problems. I was testing a few and started to prepare a list of those tested.
But you dont want them in the list?

MicroGoldEd -> https://www.softwareandcircuits.com/division/amiga/products/microgolded/download.html - Working (use a different Installer, InstallerNG will fail during install)
Blacks Editor -> https://aminet.net/text/edit/BlacksEditor.lha - Working (use a different Installer, InstallerNG will fail during install)
AmiBlitz 3.9.10Final -> https://github.com/AmiBlitz/AmiBlitz3/releases/download/v3.9.10final/AmiBlitz3910final.lha - Working, with some issues. Turn off Debugging in compiler settings.

The lost Pixel - https://aminet.net/package/game/jump/TheLostPixel - Works, but runs to slow. (same under OS3.2)

[amyren]

Is already in the list

Sorry, missed that.

I just gave IBrowse v.2.5.8 another test.
Still doesnt work, but almost. This time it does start and loads the about: page into the browser window, but a second later a software failure requestor pops up. It refers to line 1111, emulator/co-processor error
(I did select the non FPU / 020 version during install)

I suspect that MUI is part of the problem. Without MUI installed it never really starts, just en error requestor 'could not create CL_URLString'
I did install first MUI3.8. (had to comment one line in startup-sequence 'assign add HELP:  MUI:Docs'  to get AMiBench to load)
Starting over, but now tried using MUI 5.0 (2021 release) but then I got the same requestor as when not having MUI at all.
A side effect of installing MUI is that certain AmiBench features will fail, like icon info.

Another test, MUI3.8 again. Now during install I selected 'No, do not delete' when asked to delete mui stuff not needed
Now Icon Info will work just fine. Reinstalling IBrowse, and now the window loads without any software failure messages. But the window is totally empty som something is not rendering correctly. Title menu works, so I was able to close Ibrowse without errors.
If I had the patience to try repeat the test x number of times I would try to let the MUI installer delete some parts, but not all. And then maybe find a combination that actually loads Ibrowse correctly without software errors.

RNOXfer 1.4 (aminet) - Working

NetSurf m68k (aminet) - Working (very slow) (includes PNG icons that freeze AmiBench, so launch from shell or replace icons)

[amyren]

Caveman - Game > https://aminet.net/game/actio/caveman.adf - Working (copy all files from floppy for HD install)

[amyren]

Final Writer_N v2.1 - Works - But very slow on RTG, PAL resolutions works better.

You might ask why on earth install v2.1 when v7.0 is on AmiBench already.
The answer is because this one does have Norwegian spell check, and nostalgic reasons because I baught this software years ago.

WordWorth 7 - Not working (freeze upon opening screen)

Carmageddon > https://arcziii.itch.io/carmageddon-68k - Working, around 10 FPS
