Game problems with my A1200, with or without 040
« on: August 28, 2009, 01:58:51 PM »
This is aside from the problem I have connecting this A1200 to SCART (here).

The following games do work:

Settlers 1 (with 040 accelerator, I suspect without too)
Worms (albeit with a crash after quitting the game (running HDWORM), which gives me the choice to suspend or reboot)
Pro Tennis Tour 2 (with 040 accelerator)
Project-X

The following games don't work at all with my 040 accelerator (64MB RAM onboard):

Speedball 2 (crashes before initial credits)
Populous 2 (crashes before getting through the initial Bullfrog screen)
Prince of Persia
Alien Breed '92 special edition
Pang
Badlands

The following games work better than with 040 but with lots of graphics corruption:
Speedball 2 (shows initial credits then crashes)
Populous 2 (gets to main menu then becomes an enormous gfx corruption)
Pang

Admittedly most of my games were bought when I used my A500, I don't have many for the A1200, but I have a few I can try, preferably if the SCART problem can be solved.

These games you won't run on your 040:

Speedball 2 (crashes before initial credits)
Populous 2 (crashes before getting through the initial Bullfrog screen)
Prince of Persia
Alien Breed '92 special edition
Pang
Badlands

If you want to run these games try the WHDLoad Installed version.

Relokick it down to 1.3 if you are having problems with games and '040 ... see if the same problems manifest themselves.

Or/and shut your caches down with Systemprefs.lha for instance.

Where can I get relokick from?

Also, setting OCS in the early startup menu allowed Populous II to work.  I will probably try it on WinUAE in 040 emulation before possibly putting the card back in.

With TUDE or Degrader you can control caches, memory etc in addition to what Relokick does.

You could try with WHDLoad.

It's the best option.
