Can anyone please help me??
« on: April 14, 2007, 06:05:14 PM »
I have a single game that I'd love to get working on my Amiga 1200..

Its called Indyheat and I downloaded it years ago but never managed to transfer it over to my amiga cos I never had a high density floppy drive... until now...

I've managed to find on ebay a network card and have cured the problem by transfering it over :-D

My next problem is, I cant remember jack about the Amiga extracting software or how to use the Amiga if I'm honest and so, I've a lzx file but it wont let me unpack it if you like, complains about copyright of the actual lzx program?  I think it's something to do with commercial use...  But I'm only me!!  :cry:

I have managed to test the packed files and they are fine, but now I'd love to extract them so I can work on getting the game to work..

Please can anyone save me from this nightmare?!  :boohoo:

I have managed to unpack the lzx file, but now I'm stuck as I dont know how I can get the game working as I dont have PPMore!

I'm gonna give the Aminet a quick try on that and see where I get to :-)

The items I'm needing to transfer and uncompress are LZX not LHA ones..
I think this is where my problem is lying..

I have the network card setup and working lovely, I just want to play Indyheat now as I've been waiting for so damn long!!  :lol:

You mean which did I download to get the LZX to unpack??

I think I just got something that went into C directory... I dont know what the files are that I've unpacked, but I cant use them so I will try and post up whats wrong/going on with it and hopefully someone could tell me what I need to do!  

I've downloaded PPMore so I can view the readme file, hopefully this is all I need to get the game working....  :idea:  :-?  :-D

In bits mate!!

I'm getting the use of LHA and LZX commands again, but I've really got to see what the files are in the Indyheat directory to see what I need to do and how I can get it working...  Its the only game I want to play!! :lol:

These where unpacked from the IndyheatWHD1.LZX file..

I've downloaded the WHDLoad program from the AMinet and I'm just trying to get it transfered now :)

I hope its the game cos else I'm gonna be very annoyed!! :lol:  

I've been looking on the Aminet at some peoples Amiga OS 3.5 or 3.9 and I'm interested :-D  I'll put a separate thread on that tho ;-)

I'm still no further forward with this and I have no idea what to do :-(

Does anyone own Indyheat so that I can buy it off of them?? :-)  I really want to play this great silly game again! :-D

I simply cant thank you enough :-D  I've just been playing on the one game I've wanted to play on in years :-D

I dont think the Fry Cry's or Unreal Tournament 2004's of this world have a change with Indyheat Now :-D  

Thank you very much :-D
