Lotus 3 problem

macce2 · 15 January 2017, 04:20

I'm playing Lotus 3 floppy version on my A500.
Theres a strange problem, when selecting audio tracks, the track n. 4 doesn' t load at all or only from time to time Sometimes the game hangs after playing a couple of levels. Because im using cracked version of the game ( was it quartex crack ?!), Id like to know which version should be working 100 %. I have checked my floppies with copy programs and they seem to be ok ..

Sorry, Fairlight crack. There are a number of disk images available , don' t know which are in TOSEC .. ?! I suspect disk 2 to have problems. Any help appreciated !

Audio track #4 works perfect on this version, just played level 1 & 2 in championship mode and no problems.

Thanks, that combination of disks seems to work !!

However, I do remember having other disk set (cracked) back in the day which didnt have that sound/ freeze problem. It didnt have any trainer.
I' m wondering if it is possible to save user defined tracks .. - Was it possible in the original ?

You're supposed to use the password system to replay user defined tracks. There is no way to actually 'save' the tracks to disk.
