No problem

...though I should really update this and add in the CPTrainer.

Only problem being that I'll need to make the .HDF self-booting / not load WB to save memory as per notes:

           ********************* IMPORTANT *************************
   
           You cannot start this trainer from workbench because 
           Capital Punishment needs all your memory!! So, do
           something like this:

           1. Reset your computer and hold down both mousebuttons.
           2. Now click on the right button called "boot with no
              startup-sequence"
           3. Now type in "CD [gamepath]" without quotes of course.
              E.Q. "CD dh2:games/capital"
           4. Now type in "Execute trainer". The trainer will start
              then.

           ********************* IMPORTANT *************************  
            

 If this was succesfully, a nice GUI appears. Here you can select the
 level and fighter you wanna play. 

 Important fighter information: If you select an other fighter as
                                Corben Wedge (default fighter). You
                                MUST select in the fighter menu
                                (where you see the big pictures of
                                all 4 fighters) the first one. In 
                                this case Corben Wedge. If you select
                                an other like Sarmon, Wakantanka or 
                                Demona, the trainer will not work !!

...after playing around last night, now I know why I didn't add in the CPTrainer.

Basically I can get it loaded, select options but after clicking "Start" nothing happens i.e. the game doesn't launch:



Makes no difference if not booting into WB and following the process detailed in the ********************* IMPORTANT *************************.

The problem with the WHDLoad versions is that they are always in German; when running via emulation anyway

See this thread: Capital Punishment english version

...and RetroNerd's post here.

[jotd]

Wrong.

whdload version allows to select english or german

Zoned the version for ya.

After that maybe we'll try some "back on topic" action.

Last post on this...

Not sure where you got that file from jotd; it's using the version 1.1a slave but looks different to Retroplay's one on the "EAB File Server" i.e: CapitalPunishment_v1.1a_AGA_1758.lha

Anyway, just gave it a try on my "ClassicWB Lite 3.1" .HDF. Launched from the "Capital Punishment EN" icon:



...and here's the results:

[jotd]

Damien can you move the CP thingy in the thread you mentionned? I'll do what I can to help, but just not in the CD32load thread.

Also, maybe depends on whdload version. I downloaded the archive on EAB server and still english (I don't see your EN and DE icons int the archive BTW). Check that you don't have "CUSTOM1=1" set in the "english" icon.

I have tried the WHDLoad version and CUSTOM1 works as expected, i.e. CUSTOM1=0 -> English, CUSTOM1=1 -> German.

I have also checked the game code, the language is detected by the checking if file "data/data/all/p2" exists, if that is the case, the game switches to German language. So simply renaming/deleting the file will fix the "game runs in German language" problem. There might be a bug in C-Fou's patch code.

Added "CUSTOM1=0" to the slave icon but still not working unfortunately:

Great, deleting the file "P2" definitely forces the game into English

I guess there is a bug in C-Fou's patch code. I may update the patch one day as this is quite an annoying problem and most people prefer the game to be in English language.

Many thanks Sting

...even with the advise given; this cool, easily done and a nice workaround for now.
