Detroit AGA-Save problems

[JACK98]

Love this game,just one problem,i cant seem to save game on it,im not sure if its a bug or not,when i save the game,it askes me to insert a saved game disk,so i insert a blank floppy,it reads it,but does nothing else,the disk is correctly formatted and stuff,personally i thaught it was stupid aswell since you could install the game on the hard disk,any help from former players of this game would be appeticated!

Detroit uses a custom (in-game made?) save disk. Try the Back2roots save disk:

thanks for that,any way can make it save to a folder on hd instead?

[Retro-Nerd]

Sure, install the game on your hd. :)

[JACK98]

i have done that,but it would still ask me for the save disk,so i assume you cant,unless you mod code/assignments i guess?

[Retro-Nerd]

I would assume that saving should work fine in the DOS installed AGA version. What disks exactly have you installed. There are different TOSEC dumps.

[JACK98]

2 disk version,aga,been a while since i have them do,so i woundnt be able to tell who did the dumping on the net

[Retro-Nerd]

You could tinker with these disks.

solved-not sure if its a bug in game or something,for the option of trying anything *since it said you cant run it from floppy which had me thinking the manual was probably written for pc version anyway*,i ran the game from the floppy,and i was able then to save the game onto a blank floppy disk by putting it in and clicking the right mouse button and it saved,so im wonder was it a bug in the game that was overlooked?

Can anyone upload valid Detroit savedisk to The Zone? I tried search it on some
web but BTTR is down and web.archive work very slow and mirror of BTTR on a
web.archive do not work too good ;( I still have problem to save games. T.I.A.

[JACK98]

i think its just a regular blank disk,i forgot all about this thread,when i upgraded to 3.1 kickstart,i was then able to save the game onto a floppy or hard drive :shocked

[olesio]

I see. So maybe you still have this game installed onto HDD and can upload it somewhere
or to The Zone? Beacuse I installed from adfs from planetemu and game show me monit to
put savegame disk and I cannot skip it. Floppy ECS version booted from adfs under WinUAE
save file but only when name EMPTY is used and after this game freeze ;/ Can you test it a
working way to savegames in AGA or ECS version when game is installed onto HDD? T.I.A.

[JACK98]

i dont think it would do any use,since you mentioned winuae,could you find 3.1 kickstarts and use them.
