Problems running Simon The Sorceror CD32 on an A1200

[Legerdemain]

Setup: Amiga 1200, Blizzard 1230 MKIV, MMU, 16MB RAM, 40GB 2.5" HD, 3.1 ROM...

I have tried starting the game from Workbench, from cli with nothing loaded at all, tried disabling the B1230, I have started it with setpatch running... setpatch not running... tried with joymouse, without joymouse... tried increasing the stack to insane amounts (and some more sane amounts)... always the same result... a black screen not covering the entire screen in the background... it loads a while, then crashes...

Thing is, I have gotten it to work before... I just don't remember how I did it. I don't think there is any WHDLoad version available, but even if there were I would not use it since I wouldn't be able to preload the entire game (=tons of black screens everywhere whenever the game wants to access something from the HD).

Any suggestions?

The CD32 version of Simon is notorious for not running on anything other than a CD32. Above all, the Amiga needs to be set to PAL.

Odd... I know I have played the game on my A1200 from HD and when I did I had no real problems with getting the game to run... I do remember that the game crasched when I wanted to save, though (which doesn't feel that strange since I did not even try to emulate the nonvolaite.library). When running on my SquirrelSCSI from CD with the included CD32 emulator it worked just fine, though...
