As he said, how much RAM? A lot of games require 1 MB.

Also, is your machine PAL or NTSC?

1 MB PAL machine should be the optimal. Have you tried different disk images?

I've found that emulators sometimes are less finicky and sometimes more so than real hardware. It's basically black magic.

I'm not sure why multiple versions wouldn't work though. Where in the world are you located? I could probably make you a copy and mail it or something, though I can only test it on my 1200, so that's not a guarantee it'd work.

Some old games are notoriously picky about the setup they'll run on.

For Turrican 2 and Cannon Fodder, I doubt that's the case though, given both runs on a 1200, which would be far less compatible.

yeah for sure.
Let me try transferring one to disk later today, to verify it works, and then I'll email the same disk image to you. Might not be until this evening.

Can you email me at runequester@gmail.com ?
