It came from the Desert Disk 3

Si-Pie · 21 June 2008, 00:21

Hi all.

Ive got the 3 disks for It came from the Desert and the game loads fine except when I come to a overhead action scene it starts to load it from disk 3 but then it just stops with a blank screen. Anyone know the reason for this? Im using the lastest Winuae ver 1.5.0 and using the A500 config. I have read that alot of versions on the internet of ICFTD Disk 3 have a read/write error on them so arent sure if this is the reason? Does anyone have a fully tested working version of this disk? or is it some other reason its not working? Would be greatful of anyones help on this.

Best Regards

Hi Si-Pie,

welcome to the EAB!

You can find the disk images on the offical Cinemaware site here.
I hope they have tested it properly and the disk works.

Nope, the Cinemaware image of disk 3 is faulty.

Si-Pie · 21 June 2008, 00:29

Oh thanks for the welcome! Yep I tried the ones off the offical cinemaware site and that one doesnt work either. I had read its the cracked versions that have the problem but not too sure about this? Not tried the KG Pack but not sure where i could get this online in adf format?

LOL! Great, giving their games away for free with faulty disks...
Any chance you could upload a working disk 3 to the zone Retro?

KGs packs are for WHDLoad. Look here for an explanation what WHDLoad is. KG stand for Killer Gorilla a member of this forum

I uploaded Disk 3 from the Gamebase Amiga set. I'm too lazy for testing it. It should work, if not you have to blame Belg.

@Si-Pie
To download the disk you need access to the zone. Look here how to get there

Si-Pie · 21 June 2008, 00:38

Nice one thanks Retro-Nerd! I will download now and take a look. Thanks again.

Si-Pie · 21 June 2008, 00:39

Thanks too cyber I will do that now.

Belgarath · 21 June 2008, 00:40

Well the GB disk 3 is different to the one on the Cinemaware site but I can't swear it works all the way through..

Si-Pie · 21 June 2008, 00:46

Ive just tried it but still no joy!

. It starts to load the overhead action scene but just stops on track 53 on disk 3.

Belgarath · 21 June 2008, 00:47

Sigh...
Which scene is this and what's the quickest way to get there?

Retro-Nerd · 21 June 2008, 00:48

Try if one of this disks is working properly.
