Running Tanx from A1200 HDD

[Nostromo]

I can run Tanx just fine on my A1200 from floppy, but I wish I could run it from Workbench, but:

1. When I run the game (after loading WB) from the floppy disk, the game loads but the graphics are corrupted (graphics are ok if on the machine's boot menu I set the system to OCS).

2. When I copy the floppy contents to HDD and run it from there, I get an error about some missing title screen file.

I have tried looking but there seems no WHDLoad version of this game. Any ideas how to get this running from the HDD please? Thanks

Use a tool such as TUDE to degrade the chipset to OCS settings before running the game.

The game most probably needs an assign. Check which name the disk has and then create an assign for it before running the game from HD. E.G. if disk name is "Tanx" then you would need to type "assign Tanx: YourTanxDirOnHD". TanxDirOnHD is course the path to the installed game on your HD.

Thanks a lot for your help, will check it out.

I'm pretty sure Tanx works with a generic slave.

yes the generic slave 3.1 is working
For instal native, no need assign, just need a noaga degrader.

Tanx whdload generic
