A4000 lots of compatibility problems
« on: November 06, 2009, 12:24:29 PM »
Using Workbench 3.9 is fine , and even all the games run fine through WHDLOAD , but whenever i try and load a game from floppy disk (A500 style) , most games either crash to a software failiure or similar . Not all games but a good 60-70% .

I've tried disabling CPU caches and setting the original graphics from the pre-boot menu , but it doesnt make much of a difference .. Even tried Relokick 1.4 but im still getting the crashes .

Could it be a dirty floppy drive ? A problem with the hardware ? A conflict ? or is the A4000 just plain not as compatible as an A1200 or A500 is ?

Other than that , the system is 100% fine with both mouse/joy ports working , sound perfect , no booting problems and battery was removed before any leaking .

Its not really expanded as such . Just instead of 25mhz it has a blizzard which increases it to 50mhz and it has the standard 2mb chip ram and 16mb fast ram .

Yep .. WHDLOAD it is :)  

I would have just thought that the A4000 would act like an A1200 with a 030 .
