A Serious Problem With IPF's In Amiga Forever 2008
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this very strange problem.
I'm totally confused. I recently bought Amiga Forever 2008, and when I try to load any of my IPF games through the Amiga Forever 2008 Player they will not load :banghead I have tried ADF, DMS Images and they work perfectly, but not IPF's :nuts IPF's do however work through WinUAE itself, so it seems like it's a problem with the player itself (I think!) :help I was also wondering if it was possible to put games into the: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Amiga Files\Games folder so they would be recognised and show up in the main Player window, and also were able to be launched from there? Any help with either/both of these problems would be greatly appreciated! |
Don't have any direct advice for AmigaForever as I don't have it. But could be that your missing the .dll for IPF support in the AmigaForever folder?
|
I made sure that I downloaded it and created the directory it needed.
I'm seriously confused, as I can't find anything that talks about problems people may be having with the Player in the 2008 version. I had the 2005 version which never had the Player part in it, so it's something totally new to me. I find it amazing that I can't find a trouble shooter part in the Amiga Foever website :crying |

Thanks thomas :) ...but there's nothing there to tell me what's wrong :crying |
Hi Bitmap Brother,
there is something about IPF's in the FAQ : http://www.amigaforever.com/kb/3-112.html Maybe that's helpful. I would check if the 'CAPSImg.dll' is in every folder with WinUAE. Maybe AF2008 uses it's own WinUAE folder. |

Hi CyberDruid, Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid I had already had a look at that page, and it seemed as much use as a Chocolate Tea Pot! I can't find anything regarding probable problems arising from the Player. There must be a solution!! I wonder if any of the guys from SPS can shed some light on this? |
Contact Cloanto? AFPlayer uses custom paths.
|
You say they don't work..
What happens when you try and run an IPF? |

Why the hell are you so bothered about running it from af player anyway?

SPS work fine with WinUAE, just as your test from WinUAE showed. It's Cloanto's problem and if you think to contact someone, it should be Cloanto.
Make sure you don't change disk speed when loading IPFs (Turbo does not work, but multiplayer did work and some games don't like it iirc) Also make sure you place dll in both directories, player and winuae. (has to do with paths) If that does not help, try placing dll in your folder with kickstart and game folder. (not sure if this will work, Toni might help, but it is worth giving a shot) |

2. Because it is meant to work in the first place, as it says on the website. Anubis, IPF's work with no problem at all with WinUAE, they just don't seem to be working with the Player. I have tried what you said, but It's still no go! :crying It seems as if I will have to contact Cloanto. Thanks for all who have replied and tried to help me out. I appreciate it :) |

Let us know of response from Cloanto. I heard their support is not the best. Keep in mind, just as Belgo suggested, there are much better options such as GameBase Amiga. ;) |

OT: I wish E-UAE had someone as involved as you are doing the development. I'm actually debating about partitioning my MacBook and installing Windows just so I can use WinUAE. Funny, eh? WinUAE is Windows' killer app (at least it is for me). |

What are secrets? :rolleyes |
Check log when running under player or check sources. I isn't anything really interesting.
