Last ninja 2

I recently purchased the last ninja 2 for the Amiga and found out it doesn't work on A1200, only works on the A500.
Was the last ninja 2 ever released on the A1200 and is there a way to make it work on A1200.

Thank you

You will find that most(!) classic games won't run (correctly) on an A1200. Some will crash, others will show graphics corruption. And a few titles which will run too fast.

There are two ways:
1. SoftKick -> booting in another kickstart, f.ex from an A500 with OCS/ECS chipset emulation. This is what I did before option 2 below was developed.

2. WHDLoad -> If you got a harddisk then definitely go for this. Simply said it's an HD-installer for old games. Almost all are fixed for A1200/AGA and will run from your harddisk without disk swapping required. WHDLoad-archives with pre-installed games are relatively easy to find on the net.

3) find aga fixed cracked versions (if one exists)

Also, Last Ninja 2 it's a game DOS, then you can run the game from starup-sequence utility degrader as Run500, NoAGA, RunIT, KillAGA or use [ Show youtube player ]

I tried this one on my A1200 (not WinUAE) and it loads. What problems are you having?

When I looked at the box it says AMIGA, A500 A1000 A2000 min 512K required.
So I emailed the ebay store and asked if it was compatible with the A1200.
He tested the game on the A1200 and crashed, also he tested his own copy and it also crashed.
So you say it works on your A1200, I've got an Amiga 1200 with a 40 mg hard drive, what model do you have.
Thank you for your reply.

Mine is a vanilla A1200 with a 4GB CF HD and a HD floppy drive. I can remove the CF card to boot to the boot screen.

Maybe it works because the game is cracked?

I have not tested Last Ninja 2 on a A1200 real, but on WinUAE (Quickstart A1200 basic), and I noted that lack the in-game music. Regarding crashed, these could happen, even after a certain period of game.

Relokick 1.4a should work.

Would using WHDLoad be a option?

It crash because this game is protected with a copylock disk protection.
That's why. since you have a 1200, whdload would be the solution
you have a hard drive inside ?

Just tried an IPF original disk image in WinUAE with Amiga 1200 quickstart. Works fine here, even without Relokick. But as AMIGASYSTEM already said, no ingame music.
