Street rod

[adgloride]

Has this game ever been released on whdload? I've seen it on tomtoms website which you can't download from anymore, but no where else.

[nemazoty]

No. But it would be good ;)
A really good classic!

[bippym]

Tomtom doesn't even slightly dent the WHDLoad games collection!

There are literally hundreds around if you know where to look ;)

Though I'm sure Street Rod isn't 1 of em!

Check the www.whdload.de (http://www.whdload.de) to be certain!

[adgloride]

The game isn't on the whdload page. But there are whdload installers around that are not on the whdload website. Someone must have the streetrod whdload somewhere.

The game isn't on the whdload page. But there are whdload installers around that are not on the whdload website. Someone must have the streetrod whdload somewhere.What installers are around that are not part of the WHDLoad website? If it's not in the page, it doesn't exist, or is WiP, or something. It makes no sense not having it in the WHDLoad page and I would like you to show me some examples.

[adgloride]

One example is one that I downloaded from http://amiga.magix.name/ which is the it came from the desert 2 its the full whdload game, but someone must have had the installer to install it in the first place. Been looking for it for ages and its not for download on whdload. Streetrod is another this exists on tomtoms website though I've not seen it anywhere else. Moonstone is another example this isn't on the whdload website. Theres a few others but can't think of them off the top of my head.

[Galahad/FLT]

There are a lot of resources around for WHDLoad slaves that only support cracked versions of software. Hence why Street Rod is available other than the official source of WHDLOAD.DE.

Suffice to say, if its not on WHDLOAD.DE then it most definately doesn't support the original, otherwise what other reason for the author of the slave to not upload it?

I suspect because of the rarity of the Street Rod original, whoever does support it officially in WHDLoad, might well support the cracked version simply to ensure that all their hard work isn't wasted.

[Duke]

Moonstone is on the WHDLoad site: http://www.whdload.de/games/Moonstone.html

[DopPie]

I remeber playing street rod 2 on my A1200 from HD. It did need something like runshit IIRC. Perhaps this works with the first part aswell and a whd version is not needed.

[Bamiga2002]

I think i have Street Rod WHD on my miggy, i'll have a looksee at beginning of next week...

[adgloride]

If you could put it in the zone that would be great.

[Bamiga2002]

In the Zone...

[adgloride]

Many thanks

[bornemannen]

Would it be possible for someone to upload it to the zone again?

[frikilokooo]

I remeber playing street rod 2 on my A1200 from HD. It did need something like runshit IIRC. Perhaps this works with the first part aswell and a whd version is not needed.

Anybody knows anything about that?

Street Rod 2 is not A1200 compatible,is it?The game is freezed at the intro beginning.

I have managed to work Street Rod 1 installed but with graphics failures in the races even deactivating AGA chip in early boot screen.

Anybody has the WHDLoad install for both games?

[Rebel-CD32]

I would love some WHDLoad installers for Street Rod and Street Rod 2. I have the first game installed on my A1200, if you run it in AGA it's shit, if you run it in ECS it still has bugs, but I think in OCS mode it's fine.

[Hungry Horace]

i believe there is a 'generic slave' whdload install doing the rounds somewhere, for both of them.

KG may be the man to ask.

[Retroplay]

Does anybody still have the unofficial installers for Street Rod 1 & 2 ?
I've Googled like crazy to no avail. :sad

[killergorilla]

In the zone mate.

[Retroplay]

Thanks buddy. :great

[ws1968]

I would like this installer also. Could someone please upload it into The Zone again?

[boomlinde]

Hmm, it seems like the two slaves posted in the zone won't work with the latest version of WHDLoad. A shame really.

[Retroplay]

They work fine with latest beta 16.9 for me.

[musashi5150]

You haven't *ahem* borrowed a WHDLoad license key have you? :) Don't take offence, just an idea.

Does the slave quit with an error message?

[boomlinde]

No, I paid for my license. Turns out that I am using version 16.8.4367, which I thought was the latest, but I'll try with the 16.9 beta. Thanks for the heads up!

The error message provided was was: "The data/disk-files are damaged or it is an unsupported version."

EDIT: Doesn't work with WHDLoad 16.9.4512 either. So, I guess there could actually be something to that error message :). Would somebody who has a known working version of Street Rod please upload it again?

[Retroplay]

I know I know.. late reply. :crazy
Anyway, I just installed ClassicWB on a "new" PC and WHDLoad 16.9 beta (Sept. 7).
The Street Rod games I zoned works just fine.
Did you click on the icons to start the games or was it from command line ?
Remember these are using generic slaves and you must use CUSTOM1=2 (2 disk game) tool type to make it work.
Like this:
WHDLOAD SLAVE=1m512k.slave CUSTOM1=2 PRELOAD

[Molcos]

Reviving this thread ^^

I have no idea on what site street rod 1 and 2 is downloadable from, but i would love to know because i used to play that game...Alot at my freinds house, along with Bip planes.

Thanks

PS.Whdload format preferably...i have the adf files.

[TheCyberDruid]

Hi Molcos,

here you go : http://www.planetemu.net/?section=recherche&recherche=Street%20Rod%20California&type=Tous%20les%20mots&rubrique=roms :)

Edit : Just seen that this is a request for WHDLoad ;) Sorry to say, but there is no WHDLoad install yet :(

[Retro-Nerd]

Edit : Just seen that this is a request for WHDLoad ;) Sorry to say, but there is no WHDLoad install yet :(

No official WHDLoad version.

edit: Uploaded, check the Zone.

[TheCyberDruid]

Ah, now I remember ;) Thanks for the upload Retro :great

[tone007]

Let me into the Zone! Street Rod (1 and 2) are great.

[TheCyberDruid]

Here you go tone007 : http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_thezone_faq_item :)

[tone007]

Never would've found that. Thanks!

[TheCyberDruid]

No problem :) Make sure you check it from time to time (at least once a week). There are always some nice things to have in there :agree

[Molcos]

This is awsome ^^ can't wait to play the game again...ahh the memories

[coze]

I get an 'exception access fault B008ş byte read from FFFFFF'

error from streed rod :( ... street rod 2 works fine.

A3000/030/25MHz . I tried usual tooltypes like cache/nocache/mmu/nommu/pal ...

Have you tried older WHDLoad versions?

[nikvest]

You know what, this is interesting... are there any other known games that have WHDLoad installers, but are not on whdload.de site?

[Retroplay]

Ghosts 'N Goblins.

[nikvest]

I already have it. If someone knows about other games, share it please :).

[Molcos]

Completed Street Rod 1 yesterday.

Tried Street Rod 2....not as easy as the first one, and damn it's slow while driving.

[demoniac]

I'd be interested in knowing if the WHDLoad completes for SRII.

[Bamiga2002]

I get an 'exception access fault B008ş byte read from FFFFFF'

error from streed rod :( ... street rod 2 works fine.

A3000/030/25MHz . I tried usual tooltypes like cache/nocache/mmu/nommu/pal ...You then have to use Reboot&Start (http://aminet.net/package/game/patch/RebootStartV42) to get it to work. That's how i did it.

Remember to assign L: or the directory where your whdload-keyfile resides.

[cosmita]

Hello,

Can You upload streetrod and streetrod2 to the zone again ??

thanks
best regards

[TheCyberDruid]

Back in the zone.

[cosmita]

Back in the zone.

thanks :)) :crazy:crazy:crazy already downloaded :)) yupi

best regards

[TheCyberDruid]

No problem cosmita :)

[Aim@me]

Im also interested in street rod 1 and part 2. Could you please upload it to the zone again.

[TheCyberDruid]

Back in the zone Aim@me.

[Aim@me]

Wow that was fast :shocked

Thanks CyberDruid :great

[TheCyberDruid]

You are welcome :D

[Retroplay]

It's still on EAB File Server in /The Zone!/S :)

Btw make sure to use WHDLoad 16.8 or lower.

[TheCyberDruid]

Ah, there they are :) Thanks for mentioning it Retroplay :great
Moved them to 'Games/WHDLoad' now ;)

[Impakt]

Sorry for the bump, any hints/PMs as to where I can find WHDLoad slaves for cracked games?

[mai]

Sorry for the bump, any hints/PMs as to where I can find WHDLoad slaves for cracked games?

I am not sure, if i understand.
Why should there any need for slaves for cracked games?
I am not a WHDLoad expert, but i know most times the manual code protection has been removed and many slaves has also a trainer via tooltype?

[roboto]

Sorry for bringing this thread up again.
I am also looking for these 2 patches - no find.
Any chance to put them up once again?
Please?

[TheCyberDruid]

Hi roboto and welcome to EAB!

Have a look on the EAB file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633) in the folder 'Games/WHDLoad' (like mentioned above ;))

[roboto]

Alright, i found them. :cool

Thanks for the guidance CyberDruid.
Now i really should get a pair of glasses... :laughing

[Cammy]

Hi, I was just wondering if my original install of Street Rod would be of any use? It was installed on the hard drive from the original disks many years ago, and I can still go back to the old farm and collect the original disks which should still be in the box if you guys need it, but it's possible that the disks have mould and errors on them.

[Cammy]

I've uploaded an installed version of Street Rod to The Zone! I hope this helps anyone looking for the original files.

[Retroplay]

Thanks. :) :great

[Hewitson]

Thanks Cammy, hopefully someone can be bothered looking at the crack to see which files belong to which disk & finally resurrecting a 2 disk original version of the game. :)

[Gyro]

I think this is the third time requesting, but I would like to have the WHDLoad version of Street Rod 1 and 2 in the Zone again. :)

Edit: Never mind.. just had to read!

[Thrasymakhos]

I tried this with an older version of WHDLoad in order to avoid the above mentioned kickstart-not-found problem. But now I get another error message: image files are corrupted, although they are downloaded from FTP-service of the forum. What I am doing wrong? Is there any way to play Street Rod with A1200 or should I really use emulator instead?

[Bamiga2002]

I could test Street Rod and report back later!

[Bamiga2002]

Nope doesn't work for me either, hits me with kickstart directory message even if I got the required kicks in the right dir...

[Retroplay]

I just tried it and it works just fine using WHDLoad 16.8.

[Ian]

Steeet rod needs it's own slave. while the generic slave works it doesn't work well enough. i always end up using the disk version.

[Thrasymakhos]

When I try it with 16.8. I get following error message: "The data/disk-files are damaged or it is an unsupported version." I don't know what I am doing wrong: I simply start it from CLI with a command "WHDLoad StreetRod.slave"

If its going to load only from floppies, I guess I would need a A500 to boot it? Or is there any way to boot a floppy game with old kickstart by using A1200?

Edit: By the way, thanks for you help!

Bamiga2002: You can solve that problem by using WHDLoad 16.8, because only newer versions have this kickstart issue.

[Thrasymakhos]

Ok, I wrote floppies from ADF-files. And it works! :cool I simply needed to turn of both AGA and ECS. Game itself boots ok from WB. Controls are little bit tricky with my unsensitive mouse though, but I can live with that.

[Thrasymakhos]

For some reason I could not install Street Rod to hardrive. According to manual, it should be possible to simply copy all files from floppies to harddrive (or CF-card to be accurate). For some reason, I got first checksum error with huge sr512 file. This is weird because floppy works ok from DF0. Then I tried another ADF version and it copied ok to harddisk. But game itself doesn't work from harddrive: it freezes after intro when it normally asks second disk.

Now I wonder is my CF-card working properly, although I was damn accurate to set MaxTransfer right!

[Bamiga2002]

I'll try again with WHD 16.8.

[Reynolds]

How does SRII performs on systems with 030+?
I remember when played on my A2000 with an A2630 board and every racing scenes had high framerates, unlike on A500. Have the same memories with the WHD versions...?

[Thrasymakhos]

I didn't have time to test SRII yet, but at least the floppy version of SR I is excellent! Driving is smooth and it scrolls extremely fast. My system is A1200/030@50Mhz. First I even had a feeling that game runs too fast, but when I realised that I can control the car perfectly, I understood it is the right speed. This feeling of speed came probably from memories based on how my A500 behaved in the 1990s.

One strange thing: when I play SR I, joystick button do not respond! My mouse is so lousy that I cannot drive with it. Now I play so that I have both joystick and mouse at front of me. I steer with joystick and change transmission with a mouse button. This is little bit complicated and usual result is blowing engine... Game goes well enough tough, because after one night of gaming, I already own a 1963 Corvette and Ford T-Bird. King, here I come! Is there any way to get joystick buttons to react? Manual didn't help much, because it simply says that use joystick button to gear up and down.

This is strange, because I have same problem with C64 when I try to play SR I. (Joystick of course works with other titles.) I don't believe that C64 version is playable at all, but I am just curious, for I have never tried that.

[Bamiga2002]

I think it's a feature in the game. If you try to switch a gear that didn't switch right the first time, do that again fast and you might lose the gearbox.

[Bamiga2002]

Can't make the game work even with WHD 16.8, it just displays a black screen and nothing ever happens.

[Thrasymakhos]

Thanks for testing that! Maybe I should not worry about my CF-card then. If you want to play SR I, you need to write it from ADF to floppies. Works perfectly in WB when you remember to boot in OCS mode.

[Retroplay]

When I try it with 16.8. I get following error message: "The data/disk-files are damaged or it is an unsupported version." I don't know what I am doing wrong: I simply start it from CLI with a command "WHDLoad StreetRod.slave"

If its going to load only from floppies, I guess I would need a A500 to boot it? Or is there any way to boot a floppy game with old kickstart by using A1200?

Edit: By the way, thanks for you help!

Bamiga2002: You can solve that problem by using WHDLoad 16.8, because only newer versions have this kickstart issue.

If using CLI you have to do it this way:
WHDLOAD SLAVE=StreetRod.slave Custom1=2 PRELOAD

It's easier if you rename WHDLOAD (16.8) to WHD168 and copy it to C and then change tool in Street Rods game icon to WHD168.

CUSTOM1=2 is important or else it wont work.

[Thrasymakhos]

^ I actually tried also to use those parametres you mentioned without much success. It was good tip to put older WHDLOAD to C in different name.

[Bamiga2002]

If using CLI you have to do it this way:
WHDLOAD SLAVE=StreetRod.slave Custom1=2 PRELOAD

It's easier if you rename WHDLOAD (16.8) to WHD168 and copy it to C and then change tool in Street Rods game icon to WHD168.

CUSTOM1=2 is important or else it wont work.OK I got Street Rod 2 working from Workbench with WHD16.8 by adding CHIPNOCACHE (for BPPC) and NOCACHE tooltypes. Street Rod however is a different story. I only got it working by booting with no S-S and using the NOMMU-tooltype. Else it throws access fault - exception shit right after starting. But it states that "MMU already maps memory to a location $xxxxxxxx so the program might not work" but it still works. But BPPCFix needs to reboot the computer when I reset (it is no longer resident in memory).

[Bamiga2002]

Any chance for somebody to create working installers for Street Rod 1 & 2? Stingray? ;)

[Retroplay]

I don't like to be a partypooper, but since no original disks are available I wouldn't hold my breath.

[Bamiga2002]

Can't the disk images be used in the Street Rod archives floating around?

[Retroplay]

I guess they can but install authors rarely use cracked games.

Which reminds me;
It's only the 512kb version that has been cracked on both Skid Row's SR1 and Quartex' SR2 cracks.
If you boot either games on a 1mb chip Amiga the manual protection kicks in.

[Thrasymakhos]

Bamiga2002, I tried tooltypes you gave with SR II, but I still get this strange "data/disk-files are damaged" error. Yes, I used CUSTOM1=2 and PRELOAD.

[Bamiga2002]

Try again with the version in Zone. Maybe you had corrupt archive.

[StingRay]

Any chance for somebody to create working installers for Street Rod 1 & 2? Stingray? ;)

I have just finished the patch for Street Rod, might make one for Street Rod 2 too. :) Patches will be available on the WHDLoad site in the next days.

[Retroplay]

What!!! :shocked :spin
Did you manage to find original disks or did you use the cracked version ?

[StingRay]

I used an untouched version, however, it doesn't really matter in this case since the game is DOS and only has a manual protection (which I have completely disabled in the WHDLoad patch).

[Retroplay]

Bloody awesome!!!! :D

[EreWeGo]

I have just finished the patch for Street Rod, might make one for Street Rod 2 too. :) Patches will be available on the WHDLoad site in the next days.

......if creating WHDLoad installs was a professional sport...you'd be getting drugs-tested right about now! :D

Nice work Stingray!

[Bamiga2002]

Sweet! The prayers have been answered! ;)

[Thrasymakhos]

This is excellent news! Thank you very much. I will be glad to play it without floppies. SR II would be also most welcome. I have won SR I many times in the 90s, but I have never even won SR II. It would be nice to try beat it now.

Try again with the version in Zone. Maybe you had corrupt archive.

My version was downloaded from Zone. An both SR I and II are giving this error, that's why I don't believe the files are really corrupted. I don't understand what is wrong, but I really hope it is not my CF-card. I have extra cards around, so if I have time, I could try it with another one to make sure is it really corrupted archive.

[Bamiga2002]

Check maxtransfer value from HDToolBox. It should be 0x1fe00 especially for CF cards.

[Thrasymakhos]

Yep, I have this value for MaxTransfer. I tryed to be careful when making the partitions. I don't understand what is wrong, but now I will wait for Stingray's patch and try that instead of this generic slave file.

[StingRay]

Street Rod patch is now available on the WHDLoad site, enjoy. :)


......if creating WHDLoad installs was a professional sport...you'd be getting drugs-tested right about now! :D


Haha. :D Well, lots of games aren't hard to patch so they can be patched quite quickly. :)

[Retroplay]

Proper version is now available on ftp and the generic slave is history. :)
Thanks StingRay. :great

[Thrasymakhos]

StingRay, thank you very much! This version is working extemely smooth with my A1200. Here I come, King! Maybe there is possibility to patch SR II at some point... But on the other hand you got to be a masochist to fully enjoy SR II :) It's really difficult.

I noticed that screen blinks shortly when I save a game. This short pause doesn't bother me at all with SR I. But I have this same issue with Dune 2 and with that game saving is really annoying because screen blinks two minutes. That's why I am asking, is there maybe any tooltype settings to avoid this blinking when saving a game to CF?

[Retro-Nerd]

No, that's normal. Necessary WHDLoad/AmigaOS switches. It happens only once for every new created save game. Save in the same slot again and it saves as smoth as expected.

Maybe the "NoWriteCache" tooltype fixes it completely.

http://www.whdload.de/docs/en/opt.html#NoWriteCache

I'll make a patch for SR2 too. I never liked it as much as the original Street Rod game though.

Yep, there is, use the "PRELOAD" tooltype. Check the WHDLoad documentation (http://www.whdload.de/docs/en/opt.html#Preload) for more information.

[Bamiga2002]

Thanks Stingie for this, works great! Now I can re-live the embarrassment of the arrogant King ;). One little thing I marked: the 'Quit' option doesn't work (doesn't quit to WB) but quitkey ofcourse works :).

[stevsurv]

Hey everyone,
Found a nice ingame money cheat for Street Rod and Street Rod 2.

Buy any car or buy the cheapest one if your just starting off and try to sell it for the same price you bought it for.
They will offer a lower price. Refuse it, then try it again. They will offer a higher price. Refuse it, then sell the car for $22,001.

You can do this as many times as you like and build up a nice bit of money! :spin

[Bamiga2002]

Nah, real Rodders do it the hard way with sweat & tears! Thanks for the cheat tip anyway ;)

[StingRay]

One little thing I marked: the 'Quit' option doesn't work (doesn't quit to WB) but quitkey ofcourse works :).

Yes, I noticed that too. :) I have updated the patch to support the in-game quit option too, should be available on the WHDLoad site soon.

Nah, real Rodders do it the hard way with sweat & tears! Thanks for the cheat tip anyway ;)

I agree. That's why I deliberately did not any trainers. Any trainer/cheat spoils the game in my opinion. And it's not a very hard game anyway. :)

Maybe there is possibility to patch SR II at some point... But on the other hand you got to be a masochist to fully enjoy SR II :) It's really difficult.

I have made a patch for Street Rod 2 too, it should be available on the WHDLoad site this evening.

[Bamiga2002]

Cool! Never completed SR II due to its low framerate (awfully slow!). But maybe it's now a different story.

[StingRay]

I'm afraid it will be still quite slow, it looks like they released a debug build, there are lots of debug routines in it which slow the game down. It's not as good as the original Street Rod anyway in my opinion.

[Retroplay]

Slow or not, it's still awesome you did a patch. :)
Street Rod 2 was the first in the series I played back in the day so I have very fond memories of this game.
Btw, Street Rod 1 slave is flawless, I completed the game from scratch yesterday with no problems at all. :great
