The 3 disk game by Ultra Games, not the horrible 1 disk game by Imageworks.

Anyone ever get this game to boot using Winuae? I get it as far as the title screen, but after that the damned thing just hangs

Using Winuae 1.0. Tried different configs, including 1.3, 3.1, switching memory, chipset... It just won't work.

I'd never picked up this version, but I kind of like a challenge so I downloaded it from PlanetEmu when I saw your post. I'm afraid it wasn't much of a challenge though, since it ran fine the first time I tried it. I used the Triad crack in WinUAE 1.0, with KS 1.3, full ECS chipset, 1 MB chip ram, 2 MB fast ram, PAL chipset. These settings were just a "first guess" and I didn't play it for long, so I can't vouch for it working perfectly all the way through, but getting past the title screen wasn't hard. I use a joypad as a replacement for the joystick, and pressing the fire button got me to the hacked copy protection screen. All I had to do there was enter any 4 digit number and press ENTER and the game loaded fine. The settings could probably use some tweaking, but that ought to get you started.

Indeed, with your settings I get it to boot as well :s Guess I missed the chip + fast ram...

Sorry to waste your time.

Real fast RAM should *not* necessary for this old game; slow RAM should do anyway.
Back in '91, this game ran fine on my A500, and this machine hasn't got fast RAM at all.

I suspect you're right about that. Knowing that it had failed for gimbal, I simply picked settings that had worked with the majority of games for me as a starting point, and since a few games (and some cracks) required some extra ram I chose to add some fast ram right off the bat. I haven't tried tweaking the settings, but it wouldn't surprise me that much if it would run with 1 MB of chip and no extra ram. You probably don't need to emulate the full ECS chipset either - the ECS Agnus should be enough. If it ran on a stock A500, you would have only had .5 MB of chip and the OCS chipset anyway. HOL and BTTR both listed this as ECS though, so thats why I didn't start out with a plain vanilla A500 config.
