I have successfully send dozens of ADF's back to disks for play on my Amiga 500 using Amiga Explorer and serial cable, but R-Type just does not want to work. I am testing with the current available TOSEC images, and have tried them all. They all exhibit the same issue:
Goes to title screen of the game and I press fire to start...and then, black screen and nothing. I have tried using degrader, using an Amiga 500 with actual 1.2 and 1.3 roms installed, removing all external memory (and trapdoor memory) and external drives...even tried it on three seperate Amiga 500's. Just will not work and exhibits the same issue every time.
I spoke with someone in another forum and he tested the exact images on his Amiga 600 (softkicked to 1.3) and it works fine. I don't have an Amiga 600, but do have a 500 with 3.1 kick, so I tried the game with that machine softkicked to 1.3. Same deal! Argh...
I *know* I used to run this game on my Amiga 500 back in the late eighties and it DID work. Does anybody know what can be going on here?
