3.9. Unable to boot into ECS mode?

[runequester]

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?

Im guessing it has to be related to the ROMs yeah.

I'll try your option later tonight and see if it works.

Just tested it and even from a cold boot, it doesn't make any difference.

Are you booting the games off floppy or from your hard drive?
If when booting from your hard drive it reboots after installing some patches etc then it might forget your decision. IIRC there is software that allows you to switch back to ecs after booting workbench.
 
It's been a while, so I don't know if it's this that I used to use but it was something similar.

This is off hard drive (from floppy, they work fine).

I'll check that out, thanks!

Lots of suggestions. I'll try some of them today and report back. Thanks guys!

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.
