Try it with WHDLoad from CF Card. It should work, even with a stock A1200.

ok thankx retro-nerd

archon only works on kickstart 1.2
map kickstart 1.2 on the a1200 and the game will work from floppy

Maybe a stupid question, but how can i map a kickstart on A1200 ?

if you have a apollo turboboard you can use remapollo, if you have a blizzard,you can use blizkick
if you have a ram board you can try skick on aminet

flunky · 14 February 2009, 16:14

I thought/hoped it´s possible without additional hardware.
Thanks a lot for the info.

Why don't you play it straight from your PCMCIA CF Card with the WHDLoad installed version?

Hi PZ,

this should get you started : http://guide.abime.net/home3.htm
I know it's for WinUAE, but the steps should be the same for a real A1200.
For WHDLoad you should also have a look at Cody's WHDLoad FAQ : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=5267
Happy installing then

You could try ppills's wonderful PCMCIA ClassicWB LITE version.

thanx guys

mr.vince · 15 February 2009, 20:16

there actually seems to be a second version. have you tried both?

pubzombie · 15 February 2009, 21:59

no not tried Adept yet - its good but i never liked it as much as the first. will try adept later from adf

Retro-Nerd · 15 February 2009, 22:05

I don't think, that the very old EA titles work on a A1200 without WHDLoad. These bitches are very incompatible. Jotd had "a lot of fun" to fix them for hd.

Since you've got some extra ram, WHDLoad key and a PCMCIA adapter there really is little sense in playing old cracks unless you're into that.

Try the CF ClassiWB version (thanks for the plug R-N). You'll never look back. I think I even included a small utility that fixes that long delay at start-up. NoIDE or something. Anyway... go for it

no, sorry...

meant there are two releases, the second being from the archon / adept rerelease (archon collection). i know that one runs better, but i am not sure if this was to make it work for 1.2 and the original was even worse. but might be worth trying to get both and compare.

just in case.
