Running Gamebase .exe demos on Real Amigas
Hi Guys
Got Demobase Amiga v3 and it runs nicely from my PC, i thought about transferring them to my Real Amigas, obviously DMS and ADFs won't run without writing to floppys but the .EXE's and there are many of them, all say they aren't executable files. They certainly aren't PC files so i wonder why i can't run them? Bit confused on this matter - any ideas why? Thanks. |
Maybe they've lost the "Execute" bit / flag?
Try looking at some of these .EXE files in DirOpus via "Protect": https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/02/07/001.png You can do this via CLI / Shell also, see here. |
seems plausible, gonna hit the sack and try tomorrow.
You in Sydney now? be safe mate! |

Found that pretty much any demos in a ZIP will need the execute switched turned back on while demos filed in .lha do not. I assume thats some common zip issue everyone knew about years ago but i was playing catch up :) |
