Hi bazzza1975,

do you have the rtb and pat files in the drawer? Do you have the file kick34005.a500 in devs/kickstarts of your system partition? If you are missing the rtb and pat files here is the package with them : http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/skick346

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the system partition, is that my C drive?, or a drawer somewhere on the HD?

Are you using WinUAE or a real Amiga? If you are using WinUAE the system partition is the first mounted HD in WinUAE with a Workbench installation (DH0: in most cases).

You need to copy them in the folder 'devs/kickstarts' of DH0:. If necessary create the folder 'kickstarts' in devs. You need all three files there : kick34005.a500, kick34005.rtb and kick34005.pat.

There is actually a kickstarts drawer in the lha. package so i take it i dont need to make a new one in the dev/ drawer.. still the same result... so i did make a new drawer and repeated the process, still no game:rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes

the Devs: drawer must by on system disk, is it?
direction is Devs:\Kickstarts\ (all files there)
and check for sure if missing some Kickstart Image file..

And streetrod works:D

Top tip, buy the triple GM manifold, as it fits on most cars, and its cheap.
Gonna see if the king is out in his vette tonight...

cheers Baz

I know, its only a game.

It may only be a game but to your 1200 it means new life is being breathed into it :lol:lol

You should consider registering WHDLoad. It makes using it so much nicer (no waiting and everything works) plus there's the warm and fuzzy feeling you'll get. Hard to put a price on that.

While I'm thinking of these things, in future you know about WHDownLoad (http://www.whdownload.com/), right? I find it an invaluable resource. :)

Yes i am just about convinced, not long now before i register, as a thank you to those guys bringing, what i consider real games back to life. New console/pc games just dont do it for me.
Except for counterstrike, and deltaforce landwarrior, although the last dont run on my pc, cause of the firewall:sad downer!!!
I used to love that game, take the sniperrifle extra ammo and head for the hills. Hide and shoot kill at further than 1km.
