Re: A few issues

1 -I have the game Genesis on CD and thought I would give it a go. I have more than the min requirements in terms of memory however when I start it I get the message
Chip Ram = Not Contiguous

and then it fails to load. What exactly does this mean and how do I change it.
 
Not sure if I can help here, but is it an 1200/4000 version or CD32 version?
 
2 -I have tried a few packages to put things into fast ram rather than chip however when I do this I get graphic corruptions. I also get lines across the screen when using fblit+wbctrl. Is this likely to be faulty ram or can using some patches together cause this problem?
 
Not enough information but IIRC there are memory test programs on Aminet.
 
3 - Is there a decent working BBC emulator? I would like to play the repton games but don't want to setup the BBC.
 
I doubt it, no iirc.
 
4 - Is virtual memory useful on an Amiga?
 
In general, no.
 
5 - I have the CD32 emulator that came with the squirrel but it doesn't play Microcosm and a few other games. Is there anyway to get this working without using the CD32?
 
Is the game NTSC or PAL? What about your computer?
 
6- If an app on aminet states it uses SDL.library does this mean it won't work on an A1200 without a videocard.

Yes. I can't imagine trying to use SDL on AGA.
 
7- Is there a way to see discs on a SD HxC Floppy Emulator in workbench? I just get a uninitialized error
 
No clue.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

I have A1200 with Viper 060 and 64mb ram
 

For certain games you may need to fall back to the 020. I don't know if the Viper has a switch for 020/060 or not?
