Dragons Lair WHDLoad won't run.

Since the dragon's lair install is quite old, you could check if it works with an older version from http://www.whdload.de/whdload/old-whdload/

I agree. WHDLoad 17.0 and 17.1 has broken compatibilty with a number of games unfortunately.

Recently bought Dragons Lair and installed via WHDLoad.  It installs without any issues, but when it runs  WHDLoad goes through the splash screens and reboots as normal.  Then it goes to a grey screen and doesn't continue.  Sometimes a green screen appears first and then proceeds to the grey.

I have played with nocache, ntsc, and other settings in WHDLoad, with no success.

My system is a A3000, 3.1, 68040, Cybergrapx 4.

Any ideas?

I've just tried running this WHDLoad game on my A600 and I just get the green screen and nothing else.
My A600 spec is KS2/WB2/68000/2MB CHIP/2MB PCMCIA FAST.
There have been no updates to this slave either since 2005. There's definitely a problem with it, but then again my copy is from the KG package, so I haven't actually tried installing from the original disks.

Thanks for all the help.

I tried removing the picasso monitor and boot to standard ecs.  It now behaves differently, after the whdload splash screen it goes to a gray screen and not back to workbench.  Unfortunately it doesn't go further...

Now I know it works on a 3000D, so there is hope.  Will try a different version of WHDLoad, the same one that Lost had success and see what happens.

Paul, for me the green screen is because of the NOVBRMOVE command.  Do you have that tooltype?

Will try 17.0 and let you know...

Lost do you know you MB rev?  Mine are 9-03, with the WD Proto -08 SCSI.  The one I'm hoping to install this on has a Sprectrum, Ariandne, 16megs of 60NS ZIPS (turned ramsey wrap, burst, and page off), Buster 11, DMAC 04, RAMSEY 07, 3.1 ROMS and Workbench 3.9 with BB4.

 I'm using a 68000, so the NOVBRMOVE isn't applicable in my case unfortunately.
Regarding the green colour, it's more of a dark green than a pure green.
Being as though the slave was written in 2005, try a version of WHDLoad from precisely that time (you only need to change the WHDLoad command in C to an older version, incase anyone's wondering).
Good luck.
