Playing Wasted Dreams on HD instead of from CD

Omolungo · 11 August 2012, 23:22

On the site Hall of Light there's written that for playing Wasted Dreams from HD it's needed to "copy the contents of the CD to a folder on your harddrive and run from there".

I have made so and the game works, but when I load ot there isn't any presentation and the game starts immediately.
I think that should be some kind of presentation, it's also written on the readme.
Maybe I have to made some assign in order to see the movies?

My configuration:
A500+
2MB chip ram
8MB fast ram
Viper 520 CD
CF 4GB

No cd rom

Tried to run the game from cd on my Sam460ex throught RunInUae and it works fine, with movies that start correctly.
Maybe it's a problem of assign of the directory movies?
I searched but didn't find a config file or a start up sequence.

Any hints?

I just added this to my user-startup sequence.
ASSIGN >NIL: WASTEDDREAMS: DH2:Games/W/WastedDreams (edit this to match where you have it installed)

Intro plays fine and game works fine too this way.

I copied the contents of the CD to my games dir.

I double clicked on the Wasteddreams icon and the intro plays fine.

The other icon "Engine" starts the game without the intro.

No assign needed.

I also do that, but in my case the intro doesn't work

Sorry, I had AGA in Winuae set. With normal ECS the intro wont play. So maybe the game needs AGA chipset to play the movies?

I think so, infact I installed WD also on the HD of my A1200 and the intro plays fine without assign.
So I suppose that with ECS movies don't work
