X-Com for Amiga
« on: October 19, 2005, 02:43:50 AM »
Even though my Ami1200 is, for all intents and purposes, dead, I had a question about an Ami game I was playing for awhile, the Ami version of X-Com, which was pretty cool.

I was using the CD32 version on my A1200, which means I had to use a boot disk for the game to work properly (wouldn't save or start the mission for instance), but there was a slight bug, I think. In the instructions, it says you are allowed up to 6 or 8 bases, but the max # it would allow me was 3. This a common problem?

And for those familiar with the SCSIsquirrel and the CD32program that let's you use CD32 disks on the 1200, how do you tweek it so that a CDRom will boot up and work properly

Sorry, my version didn't come with any codes.

Well, i'm running X-Com again, although it's soooooooo Slllooooooowwwwww. I have to use a special "Boot CD32 from floppy" that my SquirrelSCSI disk will create, but, the program won't use my Blizzard Board 1240. Any way to jigger the startup-sequence on the floppy so as to take advantage of the board?

I can't use WHDload, because I can't hook up a HD.

Well, I've found myself a PCMCIA adaptor and a flash card for my A1200, let's see if I can put WHDload and X-Com on it. :nervous:
