Help!!!!!! I cannot get Startrek 25th Anniversary to display correctly using WinUAE versions 8.17 r3 or 8.8 r8! I am using AIAB v10b. I have tried to run the game through "boot with no start-up" option with no avail :( Any Ideas Guys?

All help gratefully appreciated...

Are you using 3.1 and AGA?

No matter what I do, all I get is screens with totally mixed up colours. Mostly purples and greens. I have tinkered with most of the setttings and I am getting nowhere fast! As I have said, I have tried running it through Workbench and using "boot with no start-up" to no avail.

All help would be gratefully appreciated...

I don't see any color problems with Star Trek 25th Anniversary. (I just tested)

My only guess is you are using 8-bit screen modes. AGA emulation needs 16 bit or higher.

Are other AGA programs also showing strange colors?

Yeah games like Liberation-Captive II have purple colours where the likes of shadows should be.. Bloodnet AGA has wrong colours etc....

Please any suggestions..... All gratefully recieved

P.S. My screenmode is set @ 640x480 16Bit 60Mhz

Are all non-working programs system-friendly? (screen switching works, can be installed to harddrive without patches)

Make sure you have setpatch in startup-sequence.

Does 256 color Workbench work correctly? (Remember to not select picasso modes)

Try to boot without startup-sequence, run setpatch manually and then the game.

Hope this helps.

Also, what are your display settings in Windows?

I hate that. I downloaded Allied General (SSI) from Home of the Underdogs last night. Perfect game. Love it. But...every time I want to play it, I have to switch to 256 colors. Yet the game uses vastly more than 256 colors. I don't like Windoze. I never will. It's bad enough having to tolerate it.
