So a few games (Battle Isle, Dune, Monkey Island) needs to be booted into ECS mode from the early boot menu (when holding down both mouse buttons)

But after I've installed 3.9, this no longer seems to work. Am I hosed or is there another way to do it?


Strange.  Anything to do with the ROM updates?  Try switching the A1200 off and then turn it on and instantly hold down the mouse buttons before it gets a chance to loaded OS3.9 and update the Kickstart from the hard drive.

okay, so timing the mouse buttons during the boot process (during the soft reboot) worked.

I'll check out the tools provided too though, to see if I can get it working easier


Thanks guys!
I was concerned about not being able to play Battle Isle anymore.


Have you tried the WHDLoad version?
