Simcity 2000

[JACK98]

Ok i installed this game on my amiga1200,however when i try run the game,it gives some error message then it would ask me to reboot or ignore,so ignore it,and try run again,then it would give an error about some music thing i must shut down,is it a screen res problem,because an odd time a window would pop up to select hi-res,i have 8mb fast ram

sim city 2000 is an AGA game. (Req an A1200 or more).

Might be you don't have enough ChipRam left for the game. Try to boot without startup-sequence and see if that helps.

sorry mate lol

my problem is,simcity 2000 wont run on my A1200.i have it installed,i click on the simcity 2000 icon,and a selection for the screen display pops up.The selection is "pal hi-res laced",so i pick that and select ok because there is no other offer.Then i get the system crashed error message.i am running wb 3.0,8mb fast ram.

i have tried and installed the game on winuae and it works fine

as already proposed, you should try to run it in "no startup sequence" mode (available when pressing both mouse buttons at startup or after reset)..but do not loose too much time with it as it is slow as hell...chunky pixels routine has not been optimized in any way so makes it almost unplayable...it's better to play it under shapeshifter (mac emulator) as it has optimized chunky pixels routines....good luck!

Jack do as Stingray proposes it must be the culprit of it.

I played SimCity2000 in a A4000/040/25 with Cybervision64 and was a good experience, just when i got a futuristic city with 1 million+ of people things started to get a bit slow.

If you have a stock A1200 forget about it, it's best played in WinUAE.

Thanks for that.How do i use it though?.Doesnt seem to run,im probably missing a key step

[sun68]

@: JACK98

SimPatch is the Batch File to execute.

P. S. run spatch for more Imformations.

[JACK98]

Tried it.doesn't work.moved it into same directory and all.tried running without the start up sequence either.so i must had made a mistake somewhere installing my wb lol.

[sun68]

The Template for The Patch is ...

spatch -Newfile (Created) -Patchfile (The Patch) Oldfile (Original SimCity 2000 File ENG or GER)

P. S. you need The Original File...
P. S. 2 delete The Patch and The Original File

OK, Here are 3 Files... to handle
Understanding ?

Tried the no start up sequence thingy.when i execute simcity 2000,it asks me to insert volume "env" into drive.

type as follows before running the game:

c:makedir ram:env
c:assign env: ram:env

If it asks for T then do the same but change ENV: to T:

[JACK98]

update-thanks to woody i did the env thingy but still would not run.for sun i tried and ran patch too but still same problem.so i assume i just need an more ram/faster processor.

[sun68]

@JACK98: -> ENV: is a Software Device. Created in RAM:Env. (up to OS 2.x)

In Your startup-sequence is write.

makedir RAM:Env
assign ENV: RAM:Env

Replace new Libraries with older Libraries!

Example: Replace new v3.x diskfont.library with old v1.x diskfont.library and you never asks me to insert volume "env" into drive.

.: Sorry, better German than English :.

solved-i recently upgraded to wb 3.1,then upgraded to 3.5.anyways i decided to install the game,and it ran perfectly.so more likely it was an missing library issue...

[NovaCoder]

Sounds like a great WHDLOAD candiate to me

I used to love this game on my PC.
