One solution would be to have 2 different versions of whdload installed in the same HD. Is it possible? Sorry for the off topic |

WHDload 17.0 was a bit unstable (timing problems), but newer versions are much better. I strongly suggest you to update to v17.2.

Omolungo, judging by your reply, if you're using a certain WHDLoad key that was downloaded from the net, it was blacklisted starting from 17.0.
Updating wont help you in this case... |

Mentioned on the other thread, seems to be some SFX missing. When jumping one channel of music drops as if a sound effect is playing but nothing plays.
Also stuff like the score counting after a level finishes is missing, when you die etc. Nothing major but certainly worth raising. Game is growing on me day by day |

Galahad,
After reading an interview with you I was wondering... If you obtained data that you had to remaster and put on the disks, it would suggest that not a single disk with the full version of the game existed. Do you think that back in 1994 any of the Amiga magazines that reviewed the game really had it? Was it another hoax of Amiga magazines? |

The disk system had nothing to do with John Twiddy, it was provided by Rob Northen, other than being able to use it, he had no knowledge of how it worked like a lot or programmers back in the day. And most importantly, this was all 20 years ago. Back in 1994 however, they would have had an A1200 and hard drive to master the game. |

Genuinely remarkable stuff going on here. Several hats off to all involved in *finally* liberating the most holy of all Amiga grails! I admit I've not yet played the game (having only just downloaded it) but whatever its critical reception, the very fact it's now out there is nothing short of incredible.
Aren't we lucky that EAB still remains such a hotbed of skilled, talented and downright obsessive Amiga experts? Yes, the numbers of which have understandably dwindled over the years (the knowledge required to unleash this particular beast now a long-distant memory for many of the Amiga's erstwhile once-elite) but thankfully the right people were in the right place at the right time, and that's all that matters! It's also a pity though, given that the great Putty Squad debate has been raging for almost 20 years, that many who would have appreciated this amazing news have since fallen by the wayside. So many attempts have been made to liberate this presumed vapourware without result that I suspect this news won't reach any of the hundreds of ex-Amigans who have long since given up. Perhaps some of you with long memories might recall the website I set up in 1997 called Lazarus - a determined labour of love on my part to archive commercial releases for our favourite machine. Although Putty Squad fell outside of our remit (Lazarus being focused on deleted software available circa roughly 86-93) we quickly became matey with Amiga Power stalwarts Jonathan Nash and Stuart Campbell who were intrigued by our site. Amiga Power, of course, carried the PS demo on one of their coverdisks. There were rumblings for a while regarding their review copy. It was thought it might be located among the detritus following the magazine's closure. I made the decision that, should we be able to unearth the full game and somehow make it playable via UAE (this was 1997, remember) that I'd immediately make it available and damn the consequences. Sadly, it wasn't to be. Until now. So, what's next? What's number 2 on the list of Amiga Most Wanted? ;-) |
