Amiga Explorer and non Amiga Forever titles
« on: August 08, 2014, 02:20:18 AM »
Hi again. I'm able to copy Amiga forever games to floppy via Amiga Explorer, but I'm unable to copy downloaded (Dream17, etc) games to floppy. I get a checksum error (880), but so far, all the games I've tried from Amiga Forever work. Is there a reason why only Amiga Forever titles seem to work? Are there alternative software or tricks to get downloaded games to copy? I believe I only have 512k of ram.


The games I've tried.

AmigaForever
Pacmania: Works
Arkanoid: Works
Pengo: Loads, but I get an error (103 meaning not enough memory)
Arctic Adventure: Loads, but I'm unable to get past the credits. I'm assuming this game requires a joystick to work.

Notworking/Internet
Zool
Superfrog
Lotus 2 and 3
R-Type
Liquid Kids
Computers
iBook G4 - OS: MorphOS 3.9
Amiga 500 NTSC (512k ram + 512k a501 trapdoor) - OS: WB 1.3
AMD FX-8350-8core - GTX 970 SC - 16GB Ram - Asus sabertooth 990fx r2

Checksum error from NDOS disk is normal. Press Ctrl-A-A to run the game.

Cool, I'll try after work.

Edit: It works. I was able to load Super Frog, but I need more ram, and Mickey Mouse, but that requires a Joystick (I think).

I think just about all those games require a joystick except Arkanoid.

Yeah. I bought a joystick on eBay for most games. I love my new A500.
