Dragon´s Breath doesn´t work

Sensi · 27 April 2007, 13:19

I´d like to ask you for help/advice.
I´ve got problem with Dragon´s Breath. I have two different versions:
Dragon´s Breath (1990)(Palace)[b]
Dragon´s Breath (1990)(Palace)[cr Trilogy][b]

The first one does not work at all, during loading it stops (at position 79).
The second one works well-the intro after loading works, everything goes right. After intro this appears:

Put Disk 2 in DF1:
Check Disk 1 in DF0:
(When I use two floppy drives)

Or:

Check Disk 1 in DF0:
(When I use one floppy drive)

I tried to swap disks, I tried not to swap disks, nothing worked, the game didn´t want to start loading. Nothing happened (of course, I push fire or click mouse button).
I used WinUAE 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 0.8, 1.0 etc, WinFellow, KickRom 1.3, 2.0, fast floppy, 100 % floppy speed, 0.5 MB chip, 1MB chip, 0.5chip+0.5fast/slow, no result. I can´t try it on real Amiga, I don´t have any.

Do you have similar or same experince with Dragon´s Breath under emulators? Is it emulation problem, crack problem, user problem or I have wrong versions of Dragon´s Breath ? Please help. Thank you.

Well I have no idea why you're wasting your time with this stuff before searching the forums.

This is from back in 2001 (!)

OK I read that thread and still don't know.... was it fixed? Did Galahad finish it? I wasn't fussed before but NOW I am!!!

If I remember rightly, Galahad said he would release working adf's if andreas registed WHDLoad, but andreas has no wish to register it as he barely ever uses it.

So there is no playable adf version of this great game.

Sensi · 27 April 2007, 14:13

I read that. Now I know it´s a crack problem. And I have to search for original floppy disks on net. But I´m confussed a little bit

Yes, I remember it too, and it's very odd that people even would go "blame" me just to force me violently to register the stuff if I only use WHDload once in a blue moon.
But Galahad said too that he had a HD crash and allegedly lost this ADF version, together with lots of his WIP work. Well, people with coding knowledge usually ought to realize that they have to back up their stuff now and then, oughtn't they?

The only way for you play this besides WHDLoad is to find the .IPF files

I did, I found two german versions (scheise, das ist dreadful sprache) and one in french. Gabba Gabba I know I can do better

Methanoid · 27 April 2007, 15:54

Unbelievable that some games are STILL not 100% cracked.. ok well maybe not unbelievable but very surprising.

Come on Galahad, you know U wanna release this. Hey, I registered WHDLoad and I don't think I've ever actually USED it.... so maybe that can make up for Andreas not regging?

Calgor · 27 April 2007, 19:30

hey, the game works in winuae with the ipf version if you have the manuals. (I also have the original version).

I thought the whdload version was fully working? At least the whdload docs say so and for many language versions. Read the whdload docs. Also the trilogy "crack" is useless.

I remember it stops at the password part also if you did not copy/crack it properly, as that happened to me when i tried to back up the originals.
