Trouble with Worms..
« on: July 22, 2008, 12:47:57 PM »
Hi, I just got a copy of Worms for Amiga (3 floppy disk version) and I can't seem to get it to run. After inserting the first disk a few company logos appear, then the screen turns black and the Amiga goes silent. I'm using an A500 with expanded RAM, does anyone know what the cause is?

Unfortunately this is my only one for now :-(. It would suck if it's the disk, as it came reportedly tested and working. :evil:
The expander installed is a 1.5MB Gary chip connector type, which I hear can cause computability issues, could that be the problem?

Thanks for the link, I may have to try it. It's the original version, has a sticker on the front that says compatible with all Amigas with 1MB RAM.

I'm very eager to update my Amiga arsenal, but there are people who wouldn't be too happy about me cluttering the place up with more old computers.. ;-) but I think that when the time comes I'll skip right ahead to obtaining an A4000/T for my AGA needs :-D
The thing I'm looking out for at the moment though is a matching SCSI controller (A590, GVP A500HD+, A530). Don't know what I'd do with it, more for looks I guess ;)
It's a pain that this game decided not to work when all the other ones I've tried work fine, I wanted to show off the machine to some friends, and Worms was the only game they were somewhat excited about :-(
I'll try disconnecting the RAM expander's Gary adapter, which should revert it to 512Kb (which means cracking her open yet again :roll:) might solve the problem, we'll see :-)
